Let me try to change the settings, I'll add you and make you adminhmm still not able to find it. I can find the carolinas campus page though. Do you have it set to private or something? Perhaps you can invite me. Its Shelby Lorraine Lutz on fb
In order to add you I had to request you on FB, but here is the exact name of the group "VCOM Virginia Class of 2018 " and the URL " https://www.facebook.com/groups/vcom2018va/ "...The group is set on closed so shouldn't have trouble finding the page, but I think adding you will make it easier. Once I do that I can just make you an admin.hmm still not able to find it. I can find the carolinas campus page though. Do you have it set to private or something? Perhaps you can invite me.

For those of you that want to join the FB group the new link is https://www.facebook.com/groups/vcom2018va/ ... The old URL was set to Virginia acceptance only and ran into the trouble of joining from those outside of VA. If you try searching for it look for "VCOM Virginia Class of 2018"
Congrats! Did you interview after the 14th? They told us they would review our group in the next admission meeting (Said they'd call us on Nov 1.) Kinda got me worried now.Accepted!!
lol I've heard nothing from this schoolCongrats! Did you interview after the 14th? They told us they would review our group in the next admission meeting (Said they'd call us on Nov 1.) Kinda got me worried now.

Yea, a lot of schools say to expect a call one day but tend to call earlier. Who knows maybe they'll call tomorrow but I'm not holding my breathe. Luckily I have other acceptances, but I was definitely excited about VCOM.They told me the adcom actually met this morning and I got the call around 3 today. Don't get discouraged though, I'm IS and have always lived in rural Appalachia.
This happened to me. The system hasn't updated yet so give it a day or two. If you still have trouble by Thursday, you should call.Hey everyone! I just received a secondary here, but it will not let me change my password like the email tells me to do. When I type in my email address and AACOMAS ID number it keeps saying "error." Any one else have this problem? I am following the directions correctly. Any help would be great!!

No, i've almost always gotten to talk to Whitney or someone. Are you calling 540 231 4000?
You can call Julie Mills, the admissions director, (540) 231-5909 or Whitney at (540) 231-6138Thanks for your reply. Yes, I've been calling (540) 231-4000, and when I'm prompted the menu, I've been pressing 1, and then 1 for Admissions-- and then I just get endless ringing with no human being or voicemail. Even when I've pressed 0 and spoken to the operator, the number they've redirected me to (which I assume is the same) results in the same outcome. Nada. It's getting pretty demoralizing.
I'm interviewing next week on 11/14. Anyone else interviewing that day?
How long does it take from submitting your secondary to getting an interview?
Is it too late to submit the secondary for VCOM?
My primary was verified and sent October 18When did you send out a primary btw?
ii call just now! Scheduled for 12/17! So glad to finally hear back! Confirmed on 10/18! Any tips for the interview?
What made them harder? Were they the bizarre job interview questions like, "If you were part of a bicycle what part would you be?" or ethical healthcare kind of questions?I agree... The faculty interviews were pretty laid back. They were more conversational. I actually thought the questions in the student interview were harder.

Awesome, I'll keep that in mind! Thanks for the insight!!Definitely job interview questions. Like when was a situation you had to deal with someone really difficult and how did you handle it, etc. That's the only one I can remember as an exact one that was asked. They weren't difficult questions exactly but some of them I didn't expect. I ended up nailing it but I can definitely see how some of them might have been hard to come up with answers to on the spot.
The students all had a sheet of questions they asked directly from and it was closed file. There were no ethical questions... Mostly like situational type stuff

Anyone want to share the secondary questions?
1. Describe the top three reasons you have chosen osteopathic medicine as your professional choice in becoming a physician (Please use your own description and not one that widely describes the profession).
2. Professionalism and the ability to gain respect in the community in which you live is of utmost importance as you embark upon a career as a physician. What three professional qualities do you feel a Student Doctor must be able to demonstrate as he/or she makes the transition into the study and practice of medicine. How will you demonstrate those qualities as a medical student at VCOM?
3. Please describe a volunteer or service activity that played a large part in your decision to become a physician.
4. In the event you submitted an application to VCOM last year, what In the event you submitted an application to VCOM last year, what improvements have you made to your application?
5. If you have not completed all the prerequisite coursework, please state how you intend on completing it prior to matriculation.

I highly doubt you got screened out. I emailed Whitney after about 3 weeks without hearing anything and she said it could take up to 3 months to review. I got an email saying they received it later that day saying they will hold for my course work to be completed at the end of the quarter (which is over now). I think they are just a tad slow on reviewing primaries so don't sweat it.Anyone know how long it takes to receive a secondary? My primary app was sent out on Nov. 14th. Did I get screened out or something? I have a 29 mcat 3.68c/3.72s.
