For those that have been interviewed or would otherwise know:
Are interview invites being given only by phone?
Thanks Erica! That's exactly the information I needed...hmm...now to make a decision haha.Not sure if it's the same, but I just got off hold for VCOM-Spartanburg. I didn't send in any documents. It took about a month between the time I was originally placed on hold and getting the interview call.

Good luck this cycle!

Hey I am a first year here at VCOM and my application was put on hold initially as well when I applied (in early September). In the meantime I interviewed at PCOM in Philly and was already to go there, and VCOM called me in March for an interview. I decided to come for the interview, and I am so happy I did because I love it here. I liked PCOM, but I think VCOM was better fit for me personally. I was waitlisted and given an early acceptance for 2014. I did not send in any documents or anything (probably because I had an acceptance elsewhere). I don't know if this helps or not. I would suggest documents if you are really interested though. Good luck and congrats on your other acceptance!
I was not on the early admission track and was accepted today. The call came around 2:55 EST. Good luck to those who are still waiting
When did you interview?
I was invited for an interview today for mid-November!! Looking forward to checking out the school. I am out of state.
When were you complete?
what specifically is frustrating your friends about the schedule?
I just wanted to share with you all some of my feelings and my opinions regarding VCOM. Before, interview day, I was really excited and VCOM was my first choice. After interview day, everything changed around....
1. Admissions director did not seemed enthusiastic at all...the only person that was enthusiastic was Julianna
2. Interview 1: interviewer seemed stern and spoke only once or twice but asked many questions that made it apparent that I was in the reject pile...the interviewer also completely bashed the school's curriculum
3. Interview 2: Complete interrogation. Questions were read off of a list and the interviewer did not say a word...again some questions asked made it apparent that I was in the reject pile
4. Interview 3: this one was great...conversational with a few questions
5. The tour of the building was a total disaster...the first year who gave the tour did not even know how to give a tour...the tour literally took 3 mins...."this is the lecture hall, and this is the anatomy lab".....
6. Lunch was good and so was the conversation withe the first and second year students
So after the interview, I contacted some of my friends who do attend VCOM and it seems like they are really frustrated with the schedule changes and said that they would recommend that I attend another DO school instead.
So, literally the next day after my interview, I got the REJECT e-mail...I knew this was going to happen just by the way the interviewers were questioning me....The thing that is making me mad is not the fact that they rejected me but the fact that they invited me for an interview when they had already decided that they were going to reject me....A lot of students in the past have gone through a similar situtation where the school decides beforehand but still invites you for an interview....
Anyways, I already have an acceptance despite my low MCAT scores because that school saw me as a person with the qualities required to make a great physician....
For all those SDNers out there who are having trouble getting into med school, my advice is to keep trying because there will be a school that will see you beyond your numbers
18? seriously?VCOM has one of the lower average MCAT scores, because they do see beyond the numbers. I know of two people there from my undergrad school with 18s on it.
anyone get the call today that interviewd on 10/13?
definitely is tough.Congrats ilmdoc!
I just got the phonecall today as well. Accepted The decisions for choosing schools just got so much harder.

Hello everyone...I have a few questions regarding the interview. What time are most people done with their interviews and tour... Is it possible to be back at the airport in Roanoke for a 5:39 flight? I am OOS and wondering if most rent a car or how to get to Blacksburg from Roanoke. If you did not rent a car where did you put your luggage during the interview? Thanks in adavance.
Just received the phone call for an interview! So happy! I'm interviewing on December 1st. Anyone else going that day?
congrats guys!!!!Congrats!! I just got my interview invite today too! Yayy!! I picked Nov. 9th. I'm super excited!
