nehigley Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Greetings everyone! I wanted to start a new post for those of us applying to WMU for the class of 2019. My email from Holly letting me know my application was complete was sent sometime in early July, and now the waiting game begins... From the looks of things, interview invites were not sent out until October last year so we probably will not hear anything for some time. Good luck everyone!

PAcmdub Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Hey there! I got my confirmation in early July as well. Fingers crossed for both of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDH⏩PA Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 How soon after submitting application to CASPA did you receive an email from school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nehigley Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 My CASPA was submitted 7/04, and I received my email from Western 7/12. Hope this helps! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAcmdub Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 My CASPA was submitted July 1st, and I recieved a confirmation July 7th. I would imagine at this point in the application process it's probably taking them a bit longer to sort people out. I hope we get some responses soon! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMEtoPA Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Do you receive confirmation about your secondary receipt??? I FedEx'd mine over a month ago and I haven't heard anything. And, I stupidly lost the confirmation number to check on delivery. Snail mail is the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nehigley Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 Yes, you will receive an email stating that they have obtained both your CASPA and supplemental application and that they are both complete. My guess is that there is a higher volume of applications being received currently and it is just taking a long time to sort through everything. I wouldn't be too worried knowing that there likely has been no interview invites sent out yet, so you haven't missed the boat. :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knr2012 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Hi all! I'm a bit late in the game on this application. Should I still apply? If so, did you download the supplemental and type out your essay, or simply write it by hand after printing? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, did you download the supplemental and type out your essay, or simply write it by hand after printing? Thanks! Hi, yes! You should still apply. I recently went to an information session at Western and they said they really drag out the interview process (October, December, January and February) because they said some of their best applicants come later. And also, they don't send you interview invites based on how early you submit your CASPA and supplemental, but rather on a ranking basis. For my supplemental, I printed it out, filled out everything by hand and then typed out the essays and attached them to the back. Hope this helps :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kt93 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 In the email they sent me about receiving my CASPA and supplemental application they mentioned sending any extra hours to the school via email. Should I send my extra hours now since they are starting interviews soon or wait until it's closer to the December 1st deadline so I have as many hours as I can (I still have way over the minimum, just curious)?

Hey! At the information meeting I was at, Holly said it isn't that important to send in updated numbers because what they'll be looking at is what you have at the time but they are always willing to update and recalculate for you. So, you should update it as soon as possible! Especially if you submitted early and have several months worth of hours to report. Hope this helps!

jmtam Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Hi all! I applied this cycle as well. I am currently working on my supplemental application. It will be sent out this weekend. Good luck to you all! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbbr Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I'm also working on my supplemental application! Does anyone know if you need to apply to the university as well, or just fill out the supplemental and caspa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nehigley Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 Just CASPA plus the supplemental app is all you need!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbbr Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 You're so helpful! Also, do you know if all prereqs need to be done by the Dec 1 deadline or is it Dec. 31? The website says both. I have an email sent to Holly but I'm just wondering if anyone else knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nehigley Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 My interpretation is that you need to have all pre-reqs done by Dec 31, but that you need to have your application submitted by Dec 1st. They will not actually look at your application until all your classes are done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbbr Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 So it looks like I'll be applying to Western next year! For those who received interview invites, would you mind summarizing your GPA and patient care hours so I can compare? I would really appreciate it!

JoanneS Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Thank God Holly sent a reminder email about accepting the interview offer! I got the email today an hour ago and was SO confused because I didn't see anything from WMU prior to the reminder email, so I checked my Spam and there it was, sitting there for 10 days, unopened... neglected. LESSON LEARNED. Check your Spam folders for interview offers from schools! It happens. I'll see everyone next Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAcmdub Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 How did interviews go yall? What were they like? Any news? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nehigley Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 Interviews were great! Personally, I felt like they did well making us feel very welcomed and relaxed. The day was shorter compared to other interviews I attended. As far as acceptances go, I have not received one . Holly explained that it would likely be about 8-10 days before we would hear anything, and she anticipated that at that point most of us would hear something either way. So likely next week!
