Hi. DI'd you do their post bacc program and what r the chances of getting in. Do they accept a lot of non traditional students.I got accepted two years ago without a DO letter, as did others in my class.
Congratulation !!!I just received my acceptance! So exited!!
I just declined an II from this school as I've already committed elsewhere. Hope is goes to one of you. Is it normal to be receiving interviews this late? I think it's maybe because of the tornado damage the school had undergone?

Im not too sure as I didn't actually schedule the interview since I've already committed to another school. Good luck.It's possible but I've heard on numerous occasions that they like to interview slowly and few people at a time. They accept same amount of people at the beginning of the cycle as at the end of the cycle. I've also heard that they interview up until mid/late May.
If you don't mind my asking, what date was your interview going to be on? Thanks!
Did you receive it by email or phone call? I got a random call from Ms. Davidson yesterday, but I was in the library until the crack of dawn, so I never saw it (terrible reception in there!)
I just received a phone call from Ms. Davidson. I just received an II!!!! Woooooooo.
May 22nd
SO EXCITED!
Thank you so much! Keep your fingers crossed for me

I wouldn't bring your resume. When I interviewed they had my file. You could bring a portfolio with questions you intend to ask the interviewers tho that always looks good.Should I bring my resume? I think I read somewhere that they will have my resume and application in front of them when they interview (not sure tho) but just wanted to make sure. I've been reading around on SDN and ppl have been saying to bring a resume in a leather portfolio for interviews to med school. They say it looks professional and I know WCU is all about professionalism. Thanks for any help!

For current students, how much emphasis does WCU-COM put on OMM?
That's what I was looking for. Thank you.In OPP class a lot. Outside of that not much. Its not an easy class ( like at some other schools). Not sure what you are looking for ...

So, I just received a secondary to this school today. Do they honestly still have seats available? I find it odd that they sent me one this late.
People that took other offers. It always happens late in the game. You better take advantage of the opportunity!Same here haha. There's no way they still have seats. Must be for waitlist spots maybe

Do you think that is it due to the tornado?Yes they do still have seats. Filling the class has been difficult this round.

Well, at the end of the day, a doctor is a doctor no matter what U.S school you go to. I've learned to not be picky at this point. At the end of the day, it all falls on yourself for how much work you're willing to put in. I'll submit the secondary and hope for the best. This is basically an unexpected blessing to me.
There are many theories about it.
DO overall is becoming less of a good option due to the effects of the merger, which will get worse over time.
New schools are scooping up quite a few people.
Carey has a bad reputation.
Post tornado interviews are just not impressive. Way less locals applied to Carey.
Many of the applicants really didnt have what it takes post interview.
The masters class performance was worse than it was years before.
Careys standards have increased but applicants have not gotten better.
Current students tell interviewees to avoid the school.
The school is still not very well known and really doesnt strongly consider those not in the gulf south.
I mean you interviewed here pretty recently right? What were your feelings about things?

Please let me know as well. Just in case I'm granted and II.That makes sense. Good insight. I actually don't interview until Monday, so I will express my thoughts then.
What do you mean when you say bad reputation? Do people not pass boards or something?There are many theories about it.

While what you're saying is true, I can't fathom someone turning down a medical schoool acceptance just because they might have to work a bit harder to get the specialty they want. Just getting accepted somewhere is a great opportunity. It's just what you make of it.While the school you get into beats any school you didnt you have to keep in mind most dont wanna just be a doctor they want to be a specific specialty. Some schools open way more doors than others.

Well Said!While what you're saying is true, I can't fathom someone turning down a medical schoool acceptance just because they might have to work a bit harder to get the specialty they want. Just getting accepted somewhere is a great opportunity. It's just what you make of it.
First, I don't agree on the idea that DOs will be less of good option in the future by the merger although many MDs will agree on.What do you mean when you say bad reputation? Do people not pass boards or something?

Right because it is on the individual to study for the COMPLEX and STEP exams. It's possible to crush them both and maximize success. Seems stressful from what my friends in DO programs are telling me, but it's been done before so we all can do it with enough effort.While what you're saying is true, I can't fathom someone turning down a medical schoool acceptance just because they might have to work a bit harder to get the specialty they want.

Yeah I kinda see the merger as a good thing. Both will start to be seen more equally. Competitiveness will rise but it's all apart if the grind.First, I don't agree with the idea that DOs will be less of good option in the future by the merger although many MDs will agree on.
It is still premature to state that, in my personal opinion.
Secondly, MDs may have good opportunities to work closer with DOs and see how good DOs do.
It will all depend on current and future DOs.
Let's be optimistic and do our best!
I will !
A-C-C-E-P-T-E-D
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
It's over!!!!!!!!! I'm going to be a doctor!!!!!!!!
Now that I can scream that we made itCongratulation!
Congratulation!
Does anyone know when the white coat ceremony is? I remember Dr. Weir mentioning it at the interview, but my mind was somewhere else as he was speaking about it.......Lol.
Thank you so much!!!!!
An update on post-tornado recovery from a senior faculty member here.
Move-back to the Carey campus will be initiated in action as of May 1st, with actual faculty and staff return scheduled for June 12-15th as explained officially this morning to us by Dean Turner.
To me? Simply an astounding recovery schedule. Our incoming class of 2021 will be essentially totally unaffected by the facilities devastation of the storm.
Think, please, about this for you students currently mulling over an acceptance offer, OR for those of you thinking in advance about applying for the class of 2022. Resilience, commitment to student education, adaptation, and a family sense of "stick together", "work together", "trust in effort", and "therefore succeed". These attributes are very much in evidence here at Carey.[/QUOTE]
