Hey guys, I will be interviewing Jan 4th. Does anyone know about how many seats have been filled?
Congrats!!! Also, awesome profile picture! Gotta love that group.Interviewed 12/8
Accepted 12/15
Secondary received. I submitted my app yesterday. Does everybody get one?
Not everyone will receive a secondary. VCOM screens prior to sending them out. They must really like something on your app for you to get one so fast. I know there are people here who have been waiting for months for a secondary.
Hmm. I had a 3.15cGPA and received a secondary in October (very close to 2/3 campuses). I guess it's up to the programs disgression.
Makes sense. My sGPA was higher.Yeah I guess so. I was just stating what they say on their website but I m sure they also look for a good fit as well.
The screening process is pretty rudemantary, as long as your application doesn't trigger any red flags you get a secondary.My science GPA isn't 3.2 either lol, they counted my nursing classes as sciences. My post bacc science GPA is 3.66 so idk what they are looking at. I guess I was just asking because I submitted on a Thursday afternoon and got the secondary Friday morning so I was wondering if they actually screened

Like an exceptionally low MCAT or GPA, or incomplete information.
ReWell I have an exceptionally low MCAT but I'm also pending a retake. So maybe that's why?

Call them or email after January 2 to check up on your application.I've been complete since 11/10 without a decision yet. Has anyone received any II's recently, or is it looking like they will resume invites in January?
Don't worry too much about deadlines, except for your deposit, they are pretty flexible if you keep them updated.Hey guys, got my acceptance call on 12/20. I didn't receive any kind of acceptance email though. Is that the same situation for others that were accepted? I know from others that they mail out forms. Just want to make sure I don't miss any deadlines. Best of luck to those still waiting!

Hey guys! Congrats to everyone who has been accepted thus far.
Does VCOM only offer you one interview? Or are you able to receive 3 interviews from all three programs within one cycle?
Does anyone know the last dates available for interviews? Is it still relatively early in the cycle? I haven't been offered an interview yet (fingers crossed!), but I'm trying to plan whether a master's program will be necessary. I submitted my secondary very early in September.
Last question: I am retaking my MCAT in less than two weeks. My original score was a 501 and I am expecting it to increase on this test retake. Will VCOM consider this new score when viewing my application?
Oh and quick add: Of the three programs, Auburn is my top choice.
Am I in trouble if I said I didn't have a preference for a specific campus? Stats: cGPA: 3.71, sGPA: 3.6, (no grade replacement) MCAT: 499
VCOM only offers one interview. They look at your ranking based on your secondary application, and they try to give you interview on that specific campus. So if you were to interview at Auburn and accepted at Auburn, you can only attend Auburn.
I don't know the latest dates, but from last year's thread the interviews went on until March.
And VCOM will look at your new score when they review your application. Since you are pending a retake, I think that's why they haven't made a decision on your application. In my opinion, a 501 is good enough to get you an interview at VCOM, but I think they will wait to see what you get on the retake.
I hope I answered your questions.
Thank you so much! I think a contributing factor is my cGPA: 3.4 sGPA: 3.2. I figured they might be waiting on my pending score. I have also yet to receive a "complete email" and it has been 4+ months, but I think the pending score is also, once again, a factor. Thank you for the help.
Accepted today!!!! Interviewed 01/04.
Late September
Well damn. I submitted in October and was told my app was still "in line for completion" three weeks ago.Got a complete email today. Submitted primary app 12/15. Secondary Invite sent 12/16. Secondary submitted 1/12. I am also pending an MCAT retake on 1/28.

I was saying that I think VCOM is lying to me. It was a joke.I don't know what any of that means. But I do know I'm really interested in this school.

Lol sorry! I'm interested in this school as well, but I had some feeling that VCOM was giving me the run around. This pretty much confirms it.No, I got what you said, lol I'm saying I don't know why mine was so quick lol

Negativity isn't allowed in this thread!No it doesn't confirm anything! I could also get a quick rejection too lol
