Where are you getting the information that WCU-COM sends secondaries only to those it is very interested in interviewing? If that's true its promising!Dont worry still early and remember Carey only sends out secondaries to those it is very very interested in interviewing. If you submitted your primary and its been more than a month, you may have been screened out but it could be an error or they are holding your app for later. If you are concerned call them if youworry that maybe your stats maybe holding you out and would like to discuss it send me a PM.

when it says "list all ec , volunteer and vocational activities you participated in while in college, include dates"
can I just list the ones from the aacomas app and include the dates or are they also looking for a description?
Can you go ahead and Mail the secondary without submitting letters of recommendation through AACOMAS? My letters won't be in till August...
Sure and you should. Pay the secondary fee and get as much done as you can. They wont mark you complete until those letters are in. When your letters are acknowledged on aacomas call every school you applied to and ask if they have them. August is a good month to be complete.

This is excellent, thanks for the info!Im a current second year and when i applied we were openly told. " We only send secondaries to those we wish to interview " Policy still the same.

I just added the ones that the app requested, so 1 physician, and either 1 pre-med and 1 faculty, or 2 faculty and 1 physicianThis is excellent, thanks for the info!
Also, did anyone else add all of their recommenders in the space to fill in for LORs? They only give an option for a physician, science faculty, and premed advisor. (I have 2 physicians, 3 faculty and an advisor.)
@WorldChanger36 How long should I wait before contacting admissions about not receiving a secondary? My application was complete 6/21.
Is there a word limit on their secondary essay?

Touro-NY ?? (I believe similar to Touro-CA)
If I mailed my secondary about 2 weeks ago and did not receive a "complete" email then should I call?
Does anybody know if interviews can be offered if you have an "in progress" course and that transcript (not from home institution) is not received because the course is still in progress? Thank you!
Thats weird because I am taking genetics and am pretty sure genetics is not a pre-req but when I called they said they are waiting to receieve this transcript and cannot offer an interview until it comes in. Maybe I will call tmrw and seek clarification, because I also got an email saying my file is complete...Depends. If the course is a prereq maybe, if not sure you can. Adcoms will just want to verify your attendance.

I went on the WCU website but didnt see genetics listed as a pre-req for admission, am I looking in the wrong place? Asking b/c I already submitted my secondary but have no intention of taking genetics during this coming application yearGenetics is a prereq. What they want is grades really. So if your grades are strong order the transcript and have it sent over as soon as possible. Is it a summer course?

Because you started the course they will treat it like every other school... As a prereq. Once you finish and send in the grades you will be fine.grades are strong and for this genetic course right now the grades are look good. I have the final exam this week but transcript procesing and exam marking will take at least 2-3 weeks. I didn't know genetics was a prereq...never saw it online thanks so much!

This is an important clarification, as genetics is NOT a required pre-requisite course for WCU-COM.Because you started the course they will treat it like every other school... As a prereq. Once you finish and send in the grades you will be fine.
Its one of those unwritten prereqs as most medical schools require it and the majority of your competition has it. If you dont have it and dont want it dont take it. It wont hold you out here unless you have a weaker sciGPA then a strong grade will help you.
So it is a prereq in the broad medical school sense but not exactly in a William Carey specific sense but having it is helpful if and only if you do well in it.
I hope i didnt confuse you guys too bad.

How is the material that needs to be learned presented to students? Is it all powerpoint? Is WCU pass/fail?
does WCUCOM wants their students to practice in Mississippi or can it be anywhere?
Just received the secondary!!! Verified 05/28
@AlteredScale There is only 1 question for this secondary

got a physical piece of mail in the mailbox, got really excited hoping it was an II and since they do everything old school, thought it would be an oldschool II, and it turns out to be the receipt for my 2ndary fee
Stats?Just got the secondary this morning and I'm a MA resident. Going to do some more research on the school before I submit but I was surprised to receive it only a day after being verified and after finding out that they tend to like applicants from the south east. I hate that we have to mail in the secondary
EDIT: Anyone know how long we have from getting the secondary to submit it?
3.5/3.4/501Stats?
Not sure, I also heard they like service and I have a very service heavy background so that could be why I got a secondary since I know my stats aren't anything special and I'm not in their region.I wonder what their stats is for this recent cycle with the new mcat and all.
Do you mean your personal statement? That's under the supporting information section.Hey can someone help me out here. Where can I find the essay prompt on aacomas application? I am not able to locate it. Thanks
So I mailed in my secondary a little over a week ago and haven't gotten a confirmation. I don't exactly trust snail mail all that much so just wondering does it take a while to get a confirmation of received secondary?

Sometimes the only confirmation you get is a receipt in the mail after your check clears. You can always call
