Just curious...For anyone who recently accepted an II, what interview dates were offered?
I got an II the other day. I was provided 3 options. The earliest Nov 8.Just curious...For anyone who recently accepted an II, what interview dates were offered?
I completed the secondary 7/31 and got my II 9/20For students, who interviewed, when did you receive the email for the interview? Just curious as I filled out my secondary about 4 weeks ago, but have not heard anything back yet.
FML I added them yesterdayI just got wait-listed because they said their class is full already.
That's surprising to the say the least, given that it's only October... Anxiety +1I just got wait-listed because they said their class is full already.
I know! Exactly. Like it’s only October and I thought DO schools had late cycles! Crazy.That's surprising to the say the least, given that it's only October... Anxiety +1
Did they say anything about when they expect waitlist movement?I just got wait-listed because they said their class is full already.
I was about to add them tonight 🤪FML I added them yesterday
Nope. Just said the list would move throughout the cycle.Did they say anything about when they expect waitlist movement?
Hope for rollover acceptances if you don’t get accepted elsewhere. They do that— so keep that in mind.
They will extend rollover admissions when they are truly full. This means they admit students for the class of 2027 (not 2026 like what this cycle is applying for.) its not usually until a little later but if this school is where you really want to go, keep that in mind when communicating with them. I was offered one since my MCAT was sent late (stil; no answer as to why) to all my programs. They interviewed me pretty late in the cycle and gave me the rollover.Can you explain?
Aw what? I have an interview with them in a couple of weeksI just got wait-listed because they said their class is full already.
This is interesting.....If anyone is willing to share their admission decision post 10/22 to confirm that would be much appreciated.I just got wait-listed because they said their class is full already.
Same here! I’m really bummed after hearing this.Aw what? I have an interview with them in a couple of weeks
Could you confirm that the secondaries are only 500 characters as a limit? or is it 500 words? Thank you!1. Why do you want to be an osteopathic physician?
2. What advantage do you see in attending WVSOM over other medical schools?
3. Describe an ethically challenging situation you have been in, and how you respond?
4. What do you feel it will take for you to succeed in medical school?
5. How many hours per week are you willing to study in addition to the 25 hours of weekly scheduled class time? Enter a number. Optional brief comments about your study habit
6. Describe a situation in work, volunteer activities, or organizations where you demonstrated your ability to work well with others.
7. What experiences (living, working or visiting) have you had in rural areas?

I can say that myself, and at least one other person I spoke to on here so I'm sure there are a decent amount of others, were accepted super late last cycle (as in July 2021) and were allowed deferred admission for the class of 2026. I'm sure that played a role in the class being full already since they already had a number of seats reserved and probably wanted to avoid another situation like that in the futre so tried to fill the class quickly.I know! Exactly. Like it’s only October and I thought DO schools had late cycles! Crazy.
Hi again! Since I'm seeing your post again and not sure if anyone will answer, I would suggest just logging into the app and starting to type a few words and seeing what happens. Truthfully, I personally don't remember if it was 500 characters or 500 words.Could you confirm that the secondaries are only 500 characters as a limit? or is it 500 words? Thank you!
@chemgirl97 and @BrontoPronto did you guys end up doing the secondaries or did you not submit it? I already added them and I am almost done with my secondary but I wanted to get some input from fellow late appliersI was about to add them tonight 🤪
I did not submit the primary for them...I know it's not that huge a financial loss in the grand scheme of things but I don't want to essentailly only have a chance at (maybe) interviewing for a wait list@chemgirl97 and @BrontoPronto did you guys end up doing the secondaries or did you not submit it?

I'm gonna submit the secondary. It's free and I already paid for my primary so might as well :/@chemgirl97 and @BrontoPronto did you guys end up doing the secondaries or did you not submit it?

I would also take things from all 3rd parties with a grain of salt. Not saying that any information here is inaccurate per se, but it is wise to make decisions off of what you know and not what another applicant says.I did not submit the primary for them...I know it's not that huge a financial loss in the grand scheme of things but I don't want to essentailly only have a chance at (maybe) interviewing for a wait list
CONGRATSSSSSSS!! Also, wait.... do us late-appliers still have a chanceJust got the call that I was accepted! Interviewed 10/22.
Congratulations!!! Do you have any advice for the interview?Just got the call that I was accepted! Interviewed 10/22.
I submitted on 8/20 … not sure where that falls on your early-late scale 😂CONGRATSSSSSSS!! Also, wait.... do us late-appliers still have a chance
It was super laid back and easy. Was 3 interviewers and they just asked about my background and why I was interested in medicine, overall and osteopathic in particular.Congratulations!!! Do you have any advice for the interview?
I did my interview today (10/28). Do I have a chance to get an A?
LoL! I was asking because I saw that someone posted few days ago about them having waitlist already. Fingers crossed0% they interviewed you just for fun lol (jk)
Many applicants only get one acceptance, but many also get multiple acceptances. It's the same general characteristics that every school is looking for after all, just a bit of variation in mission fit. I've seen many people here with 4+ A's from DO schools already. If there are 100+ people like that, and I venture to guess there are many more than that, then something like 300+ seats will open up on December 15. That's when these people must either narrow down their multiple A's to one, or pay 2k per seat they want to hold on to.They may be sending IIs as seats become available due to people withdrawing acceptance in favor of other schools
Are covid vaccinations and masks required for rotations?I'm a current 3rd year who just took COMLEX and started rotations. I'd be happy to answer any questions anyone has!
.......Not the person you were asking but I sure would hope so o.oAre covid vaccinations and masks required for rotations?
You're right........Not the person you were asking but I sure would hope so o.o
As someone who works in a large teaching hospital, I can't imagine anywhere that students are doing rotations that don't require the vaccination and masks. With that being said, though, since the rotations are statewide and not just within one hospital system, I suppose it could vary? Are there hospitals that aren't requiring staff/visitors to be vaccinated or wear masks? (that was a legitimate question)Are covid vaccinations and masks required for rotations?
You know the crazy part? Nope. Masks, most places, yes. Every rotation I've had has been yes, except for 1 preceptor who would take it off as soon as he walked out of the patient's room. I always wear mine though. They're also not required on main campus.Are covid vaccinations and masks required for rotations?
I got a call with an A about 30 minutes ago. I interviewed last Thursday. ORM, 508 MCAT AND 3.8 cGPA. I didn’t have DO LOR and have okay number of clinical hours. I want to thank @Faha @Goro and @KnightDoc for all the help as I nervously went about my first application cycle. I am excited and looking forward to the rest of the results.For those of you that were accepted, what time of day does admissions usually call? If rejected/waitlisted, do you find out via email or the portal? I want to stop nervously checking my phone for updates from last week…
Wow, that's shocking!! I guess that answers my question about if there are systems that don't require vaccinations.You know the crazy part? Nope. Masks, most places, yes. Every rotation I've had has been yes, except for 1 preceptor who would take it off as soon as he walked out of the patient's room. I always wear mine though. They're also not required on main campus.
Vaccines? Nope. It's mindboggling, but nope. They say that "some rotation sites might not allow you to rotate if you don't have it!", but they never required it as a school. It's optional. And the even sadder part is that I know multiple multiple people in my class who haven't gotten it. Why would you ever go into medicine if you don't believe in it?
I've said this before, but WVSOM 100% botched COVID response from the very beginning, and that remains true.
Any tips? Got mine MondayI got a call with an A about 30 minutes ago. I interviewed last Thursday. ORM, 508 MCAT AND 3.8 cGPA. I didn’t have DO LOR and have okay number of clinical hours.

The interview was chill. You should be ready to answer the questions related to your application.Any tips? Got mine Monday
Wondering the same thing. They gave me until Dec 14th for the first deposit, but its so high that it makes me nervous having to pay that soonAfter acceptance, is any action required on our part other than pay the 1st deposit? I am waiting on other school so I don't want to pay the deposit yet.
CongratulationsAccepted this morning! Interviewed 10/28
