what were your stats, also how are you enjoying it soo far?

My stats were 506 and 3.8.
I’m loving it so far. This has been one of the best times of my life with the people I’ve met and the experiences I had leading up to the first day of classes. There is a huge sense of community between everyone here at WVSOM, including all the faculty. Overall— everybody is just so nice and I absolutely love it.

School itself has been tough (surprise surprise). Started last Thursday and we all feel like we’ve learned enough for an entire year lol but we’re all trying to get adjusted to the high workload.

I got a 15 day notice to submit my secondary. Is it too late to be realistically considered?

if they sent you the email giving you a notice to be considered, i would say just submit it ASAP

[TheMoose937]

Anyone else read "the office of admissions invites you..." only to get extremely disappointed?

 

[FishRFriendz]

Anyone know if bull riding is pretty popular in this area

It doesn’t mean anything. They send it to everyone who applied

 

[r2DO]

Quick tip: if you are serious about attending this school and would like to know more about it— go to the fireside chat.

I didn’t get my II until after I attended a couple of them. It shows interest.

First year who just got done with the first day of lectures Feel free to drop any questions and I will try my best to answer them from the perspective of someone who was in y’all’s shoes not too long ago.

I have a question if you don’t mind. Not sure if you’re IS or OOS, but do you know if WVSOM offers scholarships or ways to make the tuition more doable for out of state students?

So not to my knowledge for OOS in the way you may be thinking, but the school has a program to incentive you to stay in the state by making your tuition IS if you oblige to practice in WV for every year you receive the grant

Congrats on your interview! As for the experience itself, I will say be prepared for the standard questions (tell us about yourself, why medicine, why osteopathic medicine, etc.). They just want to get to know you, so try not to stress about it too much. Good luck!

Chose the virtual interview option on Oct 12. Got an email saying it’ll be from 8am - 1pm. Have no idea what the format is? Can anyone tell me more details like if it’s traditional or MMI at least? I have no idea how to prepare

 

[DoctorRatFink]

Received an acceptance call from here just now!!! Great vibes from both the students and faculty here, another school that’s high on my list

in-person was traditional, so I imagine that the virtual will be as well. If you go on their YouTube channel they have tips for virtual interviews.

 

[aagmed930]

Still waiting to hear back for any IIs 🙄 so annoying

Timing wise - your interview will be in the morning, likely before meeting with dean, student panel, etc. The interview will be around 30 minutes(?) and you'll have a break before you log back on and do the other things. Have some good questions prepared for the student panel and interviewers! Prepare for the common questions and look over your app. Best of luck!
