Has anyone not heard anything at all yet? I've been completed since 9/4. Not sure if this is good or bad and if I should send an update letter.
I asked this during the interview and they didn’t know and told me to send an email… I haven’t. Changes year to year and the amount.Another question for current students: Does WVSOM offer students board prep resources (e.g., COMBANK, Pathoma, UWorld)?

I heard they love students who show interest - if you’re keen on going to the school, def email them!Has anyone not heard anything at all yet? I've been completed since 9/4. Not sure if this is good or bad and if I should send an update letter.
They meet on Tuesdays. I had my interview on Monday and found out Wednesday. They say thats a benefit of having a Monday interview. Assuming yours wasnt last Monday.Does anyone know what my chances are of being accepted if I feel like I did well on the interview? I interviewed last week and just wanna know what to expect in terms of post-interview acceptance rate.
Okay thank you! How long did it take to get the email after getting the call?They meet on Tuesdays. I had my interview on Monday and found out Wednesday. They say thats a benefit of having a Monday interview. Assuming yours wasnt last Monday.
maybe 2-3 hours. I was psyching myself out and thinking, its not official until I have it in writing.Okay thank you! How long did it take to get the email after getting the call?
Do WL and R decision take longer?
How was interview?!?does anyone who interviewed 2/1 remember what day the acceptances are going out this week? cant remember if they said wednesday or thursday
Hi! This is for the school of WV School of Osteopathic Medicine! WVU is allopathic and will be in the thread labeled “2023/2024 West Virginia”still have not heard back from WVU, and I sent a letter of interest a few weeks back as well :/

Honestly, they’re really sweet. You could get away with emailing them an update or letter of interest!I meant the WVSOM (osteopathic)
Current OMS-II at WVSOM. To answer you, kind of.... They have a kaplan Qbank but we if we want something different, we buy our own resources. They did manage to get us a significant discount on COMQUEST last year. They will make a lot of suggestions and some faculty have their own resources that they created.Another question for current students: Does WVSOM offer students board prep resources (e.g., COMBANK, Pathoma, UWorld)?

You'll be fine! Think about it this way - why would they waste their time interviewing someone if they knew that there's no chance that they would accept them? This school has such a high post-II acceptance rate, which leads me to believe that the interview is only meant to check that the student is a good (mission) fit and that they're suitable (personality-wise) for a career in medicine. Best of luck with your interview!I got an II here and I am low stats. If I received an interview here does that mean they are ok with my metrics and just want to see if I am a good fit? I know the post II acceptance rate is as high as 95% but I just don't want to be a part of that 5% lol.
can you share your mcat score? thanksII invite: 9/13
Interviewed: 10/12
Got the A less than a week after
I know I’m not them, but I got an acceptance this morning. 504 mcat with 4.0 gpacan you share your mcat score? thanks
I do. Lots of the faculty will give you advice on how to use the resources. Take advice with a grain of salt because I don't think studying for boards is a "one-size-fits-all". It's all about finding your personal weaknesses and getting resources that work best for you. I didn't start using sketchy until second semester and I kick myself for just trying to memorize/ Anki.Thank you for your response!

Are you paying for sketchy on your own? Or did the school provide discounts or did you split with other students?I do. Lots of the faculty will give you advice on how to use the resources.

Not necessarily. Sure they have an emphasis on primary care, but this school sets their students up for success. Keep in mind things like Ortho surgery, ob/gyn are more competitive, so it may be hard but not impossible. Their 2023 match had plenty of competitive residency programs! You will have plenty of opportunities for other specialties!Does anyone know what the chances are of being able to get your desired speciality here? I know they have the percentage on their website, but I’m still slightly worried. Would I essentially be most likely to get a family medicine residency if I go to this school? Or would I still have lots of opportunities for other specialities?
OOS II this morning LM 60
Congrats. I am Liz 62, but nothing yet from here. I dk whether to keep my hopes still up.OOS II this morning LM 60
Keep your hopes up!Congrats. I am Liz 62, but nothing yet from here. I dk whether to keep my hopes still up.
Can any current students comment on the curriculum Itself? Do professors teach material that is actually relevant to boards or are students expected to learn extraneous information that won’t show up on board exams?
Congratulations! I just got the acceptance call too, same interview day and LM score.Just received the acceptance phone call! Interviewed 2/15, LM 64. I'm definitely putting down the deposit ASAP, I'm so excited about this school and hope to meet some of you here in the fall!
do you mind sharing your stats, thanksCongratulations! I just got the acceptance call too, same interview day and LM score.
My stats are (roughly) 3.5 cGPA, 3.3 sGPA, and 510 MCAT. Hope that helps!do you mind sharing your stats, thanks
Sketchy is something we buy on our own. The only thing that the school has covered so far is Kaplan, some faculty made resources and the discount (about 50% off) on COMQUEST. Which was really nice because COMQUEST is pretty much a must have during dedicated.Are you paying for sketchy on your own? Or did the school provide discounts or did you split with other students?
From what I saw in the previous threads, I believe WVSOM would mention AL in the email if they are just interviewing for waitlist.Does anyone know if the current class is full? I was offered an interview, but at this time in past SDN threads they were sending interviews out for the alternate list.

has anyone interviewed in person here? interviewing in-person on March 4th and a bit nervous regarding the process
how was it? and how was the day structuredInterview in person on 2/05
Have a quick questions for students who interviewed in person here, were you guys able to get Uber or Lyft? I waited a very long time today and I’m not sure if there is no driver because it is a Sunday or it is always like this.
Oh sorry I didn’t make it clearer! I am actually wondering if there will be any Uber taking me to the airport tomorrow. I will be interviewing in the morning but I need to catch a flight back in the afternoon. I had a really hard time finding a ride to get me from the Greenbrier airport to the hotel when I arrived here. But still I want to thank you for your generosity!There is like maybe 1-2 Uber drivers in town. If you absolutely can’t find someone to get you assuming you are at the airport I can come get you in like 30 minutes. I’m a current student and need to go to campus anyways
