Do you know websites for information regarding primary care, especially OB/GYN? Thank you.
Actually I think you're right, sry about that.

Anyone know what the weather is like in Lewisburg in the winter time? I know it snows, but does the snow stay or does it come and go? Does it usually melt quickly? Do they use salt on the roads? Why I ask is because I have a modified car and I'm thinking that I might need to sell it before I move down, as I won't have the luxury of having two cars anymore.
Given that this is my first year in Lewisburg and that we've just had our first "big" snow, I'm not sure if any of what I'm about to say is the norm but here's what I've seen:
Between Monday afternoon and yesterday evening, I'd say we got about two inches of snow. The roads have been kept pretty clear though. There were times when the sun was out when it was snowing, so that helped to warm up the ground and keep things from sticking or freezing. I've seen a salt truck so they salt the roads, but I don't know if it's only major roads or also residential streets. Some cars in the parking lots on campus look like they have salt on them and others don't. Local schools have been closed for the past two days, which seems a little strange to me since there really wasn't that much snow.
What kind of car do you drive and what mods do you have, if you don't mind me asking?
Very nice G20! I can see you put a lot of quality work into her! Are you getting a new daily driver once you sell it or do you already have one?
Yeah I'm into cars. A couple years back I had a friend who would not shut up about the work he was doing on his Stingray. It was annoying at first but eventually his obsession with cars rubbed off on me. Though I'm "still a newbie with a lot to learn," as he tells me. I joined the University of Maryland's car club, College Park Tuning during my undergrad and they can't seem to get rid of me or any of the other alumni.
I drive a 3rd gen eclipse. I picked it up not too long after I graduated college but it's still stock. When I got it, all my money was going to paying bills and med school applications. And now I'm living off of student loans and it wouldn't be a very good idea to use those to make upgrades, not that I haven't thought about it.
Doesn't seem like there's a whole lot going on around here for cars though. In late summer, every now and then I'd see a group of people with modded pickups gathering in the Walmart parking lot, but never any cars. There's a couple of nice cars on campus. Someone's got a really nice looking GTI. with a FMIC and some exterior mods. Haven't been able to figure out who it belongs to though so I don't know what's under the hood.
Nice to know there will be at least one more person around next year who is into cars.
I'm going to be interviewing at WVSOM on Dec 8th in the morning. I scheduled a flight into Charleston Yeager on the 6th (Saturday), renting a car so I can drive around and get a good feel for Lewisburg on Sunday, interview Monday then return home Tuesday. Anyone have any advice as to what I can check out while I'm there? Congrats to all of you who have already been accepted - that's great! I get a great feeling about WVSOM from reading posts in this forum. It really sounds like a great school. If anyone has any advice, I'd appreciate it. Anyone else interviewing on December 8th?

I am! ... where are you flying in from?
Hey everyone! New to forum. I have a question for those that have received their acceptance letters or those who have been sent the secondary applications. How long after your application was submitted by AACOMAS until you heard back from WVSOM? I filled out the AACOMAS a long time ago; however, it just was released yesterday to WVSOM. Thanks in advance!!
Anyone else have an interview on Dec 8th in the morning?
Just got the invite today...it's for December 10.
Hey everyone, I have an interview on Dec 19th at WVSOM and was hoping I could get some insight on some of the questions being asked. Thanks in advance for your help. -Mike
Congrats! How long were you decision pending before you got the interview invite?
Hope this helps. I was deferred for 3 weeks and decision pending for 2 weeks after before I got the interview invite.
Thanks Chocolate Bear! I've been looking for the 2008 list ...
I love your avatar by the way! lol.
When did you get the email that West Virginia had received your AACOMAS? I've been decision pending for eight weeks...
does anyone know if you can declare in-state residency after a year or anything like that?
Pm me dudeJust got the invite today...it's for December 10.
Hey everyone, I just got my email today giving me my ID/PW. But, when I go to check my application status, I receive this message: ((Sorry, but we do not have an active application for the current academic term.)) Did anyone else see this message when they initially got there ID/PW? Thanks in advance.

I am 80% positive that OB/GYN is primary care b/c I am interested in that also, but I don't think it's "as primary care" as IM/FM/Peds just b/c it includes some surgery and such. But either way (no watter what it is) I wouldn't let that stop you from going to WVSOM b/c not everyone can/does go into primary care, I think you should try to do whatever would make you the happiest. Maybe we can start a pre-OB/GYN club (if there isn't one already) when we get there haha.
Also the $50,000 a year scares me also but it could be wosre, I live in Michigan and if you come here as as out of state student tuition is almost $62,000 a year. And UNECOM is I think $42,000 a year. I figure we will all be in the same boat so we can work together to figure out some way to pay this all off...
That kind of sounds a little morbid. Good luck on your interview.Hi,
I have an interview on Dec 15th and I am a Labor and Delivery Nurse (17 years), and I can tell you, NOTHING takes the place of watching someone take their first breathe....even if it is their last.
That kind of sounds a little morbid. Good luck on your interview.
Thank you for the wish of good luck. ...not morbid....realistic....OB is not all fun and happy times..too many go into it thinking that it is all a good time. It is a critical care area and stuff happens there just like every other critical care area....but most are first breathes.....That kind of sounds a little morbid. Good luck on your interview.
Hey, i just interviewed at WVSOM on 12/5. In terms of facilities it is a great school and the people there are very nice. The schools focus is primary care but they have a decent amount that do others things. While Dr. Madrzakowski was doing the PBL presentation, in walked a WVSOM graduate from PBL (unplanned). He graduated 2 years ago and he is doing his residency in orthopedic surgery in Ohio which caught me by surprise but it is possible. Their admissions com meets every Tuesday so I should be hearing back within a week or so! hopefully I get in.
