[joecool12345]

Received my secondary from Lebanon 9/2. I just took another look today and it seems like I'm able to complete a secondary for Pomona as well even though I haven't gotten an email from them. I guess count this as another secondary?

Also, do y'all just sorta use the same answer for the prompts for both campuses?

 

[premeduser998]

Sec rec

 

[Dorsey DO]

still waiting ugh... generally, when is it too late to receive a secondary from most schools?

 

[hellosnd]

Ppl, myself included, apply around late November and early December. So it’s no where near too late to receive secondaries

Any advice/feedback from individuals who interviewed here previously? I'm especially curious about the standardized patient interactions!

I wonder why this school's accreditation status is "Current Accreditation Status: Accreditation with Heightened Monitoring". Any ideas?

 

[premeduser998]

how long from complete to interview invite

I did not know about that. Curious to learn more.

 

[sw2090]

Does Western send out pre-secondary Rs? I got the standard "we received your primary app" at the beg of August and then never heard back but I'm also OOS

 

[Formedschoolapps]

I did not know about that. Curious to learn more.

Lol yeah dude, I'm pretty shocked too. I thought it was one of the best DO programs.

that’s new. i checked this same list like three months ago and it’s was just “Accreditation”

 

[Formedschoolapps]

that’s new. i checked this same list like three months ago and it’s was just “Accreditation”

It is, they have checks every year I believe. I also saw it a few months ago and WCUCOM was marked as "Accreditation" and now it's marked as "Current Accreditation Status: Accreditation with Heightened Monitoring".

 

[seafoodgalore]

Wow that’s really surprising

 

[kpmed62]

Anyone get a “application still with admissions committee” email this morning?

 

[helpmeouthere]

Anyone get a “application still with admissions committee” email this morning?

No I’ve been completely ghosted by both campuses

While I have no idea why western was given this revision, I know from reading elsewhere that it can be small unpredictable changes (ie staff turnover) that effects this. I’ll contact my friend that goes here and see what he has to say.

Edit: friend unsure. Thinks it may be due to interim dean. It’s not been talked about amongst students yet.

 

[Sn00pygrrl]

No I’ve been completely ghosted by both campuses

Me too. Stats well above the median for both campuses. CA resident. 20k hours of clinical experience. No secondary from either campus.

I did.

 

[hellosnd]

4th year here. Through the grapevines I’ve heard it’s due to lack clinical rotation site. Take with a mountain of salt, just speculating
