To all who are applying to this school. This school is simply awesome. I am an accepted student here and the process was very professional, not to mention probably the nicest admissions staff I have ever encountered. I interviewed at other schools, but chose this school simply because I felt right at home and felt I'd be able to fit right in. I really felt they looked at me like a human being and understand what I had to offer other than my numbers.
Just recently, Greenbriar County (Lewisburg, WV) and surrounding areas had a tragedy due in which greater than two dozen people died due to the massive flooding and storms that passed through the area. To see the so many supporting emails, and seeing senior WVSOM staff members and students/family members wake up on a Sunday morning to go help out in the community passing out supplies was remarkable and a testament to the idea in what kind of physicians they want to make. Not only that, so many people are chipping in to help near and far. The sense of community in this area is amazing. I am starting to see why the students seemed so happy during my interview day.
I just wanted to share my two cents because in a world full of negativity, people often get conditioned NOT to give praise and credit where its due, but WVSOM is simply a great place from what I can see.
If you have any questions throughout this process, please PM me. Good luck to everyone applying.
