Question: Does WVSOM actually give you a secondary before inviting you for an interview (and then asking you to submit once you are invited) or do they simply hold it and only give it to people invited for interview?
A secondary is only received once invited to interview. The completed secondary they will use to get to know you a bit prior to your interview
That is good so people wont spend money and energy to fill out secondary and then get rejected with no interview invite...Do they have very strong regional bias?
so there is NO secondary before hand, they just use your aacomas app to invite for interview?

What are some general opinions about this school? Clinical rotations? Quality of teaching? Residency placement? Life in West Virginia?
Also I got verified last week, when should I expect to hear back from WVSOM?
Number wise, I'd say it's one of my target schools so I'm hoping for some love.
I'm not sure about that. I was recently screened in (OOS) and nothing was mentioned about an interview.A secondary is only received once invited to interview. The completed secondary they will use to get to know you a bit prior to your interview
Oops. I am clearly mistaken. I though this was WVU MD. Sorry guys and good luck!!I'm not sure about that. I was recently screened in (OOS) and nothing was mentioned about an interview.
They are definitely sending out secondaries because I received one lol.
To my knowledge, I don't believe there is any regional bias.
I'm killing for an interview invite from this school. Does anyone know if LORs are required for the primary application?
First round of interview invites will go out by the second week in August, generally your interview is scheduled for about a month after you get the invite. You only need to complete secondaries and send LORs if you get an interview invite.
do you know what is the interview/acceptance ratio for this school?
They tell us they interview 600, accept 400 and enroll 200. I'm not sure I actually believe the numbers are exactly that because I've only ever seen 1 SD-er outright rejected post-interview, and that was very late into the cycle. Coolingglasses and I interviewed on the same day in early November last year and we both were accepted, so I think it bodes well to say that if you get an II you have a very good shot at getting in.
It is in a little town, but it's a beautiful campus and everyone is super friendly. I visited Lewisburg about a month ago with my girlfriend. She went there and loved it. Virginia Tech is about an hour and a half away. I'm not sure how close many other universities are to the school.Really hoping for some love here. Definitely one of my target schools in terms of numbers. I like the school and its established. Only problem is that, it's kind of in the middle of nowhere. I'd like to go to medical school somewhat close to where my gf can attend grad school.
It's another month of waiting, but really hoping to get in here.
Thanks! Yea definitely, I'm a big fan of the school itself/and the campus. I would not mind living in the south. Just hoping that there's an opportunity for my gf to attend school close. Virginia Tech looks like a possibility so I'd suggest that to her.
On the previous year's thread, I saw that people mentioned the term "rollover admission"
Does rollover mean that one can be accepted into the following year's class instead of the class that was applied to?
Ex. apply this year for the class of 2018, but get an offer for class of 2019? Trying to learn the process...
According to the WVSOM faq page, it looks like WVSOM is now requiring the secondaries before an interview invite. Sigh. Why has every school seemed to make the process of applying harder?

Admissions related but is it true that secondaries are now required before an interview invite?
So basically this is another factor in admissions that wasn't there before, correct?
has anyone heard anything yet?

I just received an email that my app is hold because I have not reported my MCAT scores, although I have. This is an error with their system- they are aware and IT is working to correct it. I just wanted to let you all know so that you don't call, the poor lady I spoke with (who was extremely nice, by the way) said they have been inundated with calls.
I havent received anything from this school. Not even an acknowledgment of my primary!! ahh
