Have you already informed WVSOM that you're not attending? If yes, do you mind telling us when? Just wondering if your seat had already been given to someone.Thank you both! Best of luck to you. I'm still going to be creeping on this thread in hopes that you all get a seat in the class haha. Fingers crossed
you want any tips? im gonna be attending the school as a class of 2021
That would be awesome! Are you in-state? (I am btw) I'm super nervous because this is my top choice and my grades the past two semesters have been mediocre. I'm a traditional applicant (no gap year) and I almost feel lame because I haven't had all of these great work experiences out in the real world to talk about like a lot of the nontraditional folks do at this school.
Ok honestly your gpa is ok , it can be a lil better since they really looked at each of my classes's grade during interview and asked me about that C and so on, but i had a reason for the bad grades in a few classes, make sure you have a honest excuse or confession ready. They are very mission oriented and make sure to say you researched their school and it fits your goals and career legacy in the future. My mcat was not that great, less than 500, but my gpa with grade replacement was like 3.85 or so . you can pm me for interview and essay tips so onThat would be awesome! Are you in-state?

stats: 3.43 cGPA, 3.33 sGPA, took the MCAT and will find out my scores soon
Also, do you think secondaries will be out in July? I'm going to submit over the weekend and have everything to and have a complete verified app by the last week of the month hopefully. Does this timeline sound good?
good luck , campus is pretty, people are nice, it all depends on you and your achievements in med school to land whatever residency you want in my opinion. good luck again.Oh also my secondaries came a lil late i think late july , i submitted the primary the first day it opened , and my interview was in novemberOk honestly your gpa is ok , it can be a lil better since they really looked at each of my classes's grade during interview and asked me about that C and so on, but i had a reason for the bad grades in a few classes, make sure you have a honest excuse or confession ready.

I would just call admissions if you have a relationship with someone in the office... they are so nice!! Are there many options left? That's actually my biggest point of stress with this whole waitlist process, not knowing where I'm gonna live if I get in last minute!!
I am submitting tomorrow, I thought it was open for submission on the 1st?!
I plan to submit by the end of June if I still haven't heard anything
Maybe the new app was accessible may 4 but can be submitted June 1? Honestly idk for sure, there are so many odds and ends I'm confused about at this point lol. Well regardless, my plan is to submit tomorrow but I'm having second thoughts about my essay... should we talk about being reapplicants in our essays? I am pretty much using my essay form last cycle but idk if it's weird to not mention applying a second time..
It says right on the AACOMAS homepage that their application cycle begins "early may" lolol
sry if i confused u!! Are you not reapplying... i inferred from ur question ab alt list folks reapplying that you are a reapplicant too! My advisors say mention it, people on forums say its valuable space so why tell them what they already know..It says right on the AACOMAS homepage that their application cycle begins "early may" lolol
I was thinking about that too, but everyone I talked to who goes there told me you can walk back and forth from school but if you need groceries or to get anywhere else in town you'd need a car... I think I'll probably end up bringing mine even though I'm right next to the school lol.
Yeah I'll definitely try my best to bring one, but don't think my '97 Toyota Camry can make the long haul from NY-->WV. I was thinking of just making trips with people to get groceries and then pay them back in some way, maybe a couple of Fridays every month or something. But those other things also sound pretty nice too. Not the best when it comes to the outdoors, but would really a enjoy a good hike now and then!
Hi everyone!
I too thought I could get by without a car since I'm an avid cyclist and I could just get groceries on my bike right? Wrong. I can get rides with friends right? Wrong. You will be so busy and trying to sync up schedules with people will be very hard. Just because you have a free 5 mins to grab groceries doesn't mean your bud does too. People have different study schedules. If you don't have money or a car, take out some extra loans and get a cheap car. Make things as easy as you can for yourself for the first two years!
That's pretty much exactly what I'm doing, I was worried about using any part of my original essay but i worked reallllly hard on it the first time and I don't wanna toss it all out. I have for sure changed some things and made it more relevant to what's happening in my app now (new classes, starting a club at school etc). Thanks so much for the advice, it's also super nice to hear it can work out for reapplicants!
Thank u ILY
If you don't mind me asking, what were your stats?

When did you interview
2/17
Doctortea26 have you called Gwen yet? Just wondering what she has to say on acceptances and rollovers. Wishing you all good luck.
No I haven't but my friend talked to her the other day. She is advising people not to reapply yet, but I think that's bad advice. I submitted my application last week because it seems like the right thing to do...I applied late last cycle and it really hurt me--the earlier the better. Anyway, she told my friend there hasn't been much movement, but there still could be. She said some students typically give up their seat because out of state tuition is high and they end up going with their in-state options. In my mind that's probably like 1 or 2 people MAYBE so I'm pretty much mentally moving on and refocusing my attention on the new cycle. She did say they are going to meet and offer roll over admission to some people in July.
Awesome! Congratulations!!!
