For those who have already interviewed, how long did it take to get an II after receiving your application complete email?
It seems like traditionally they send out invites in batches every ~3 weeks. Since the first batch went on 8/23, my theory is that the next batch will go out early next week. Just a guess, though.Does anybody know how often interviews invites are being passed out?
Call them and ask 100%.I'm curious if someone in the know could tell me how VCOM-Auburn handles one's portal status. I have been sitting on an incomplete status for roughly 6 weeks now, which I'm fine with, but I'm wondering if that means they haven't even looked at my application yet, or if they have and just haven't made a decision yet as to whether to send an II, hold, reject, etc. Is there anyone out there with a 100% complete application that still hasn't heard back? Or should I expect to hear something once my app is complete on the portal?
This actually happened to me this cycle. I applied 6/1 and it wasn't until I e-mailed someone (8/3) that I received my supplemental application the next day. Their website does state it takes approximately 2-3 weeks. If by the 4th week you do not hear anything, the best thing to do is to contact someone and inquire about your application status.Call them and ask 100%.
When I went through the process, I got "stuck" between two campuses.
The way this all works is that the "first look" at your application is done by the team in Virginia at least hypothetically, I am not all convinced that it is. The other way that I think it works is that the "first look" is done by any member of the admissions team from any campus, and if that member deems your application good for the next part of the process, then they move you forward.
For example, they could get your primary application, but if it is not "complete" then they will not look at it. Once it is "completed" then it will be routed to someone's desk for them to initially look at it, make sure its up to par, and then they will decide to send a secondary if it is. Once the secondary is complete, your application will be in transit to the admissions team of that specific campus.
Applications can get stuck at one point in the process, so if you think you've been sitting on "red" for too long, then go ahead and call and ask. It will not hurt you unless you call them everyday. But it can help move the process along.
Congratulations! What day was your interview?Accepted. Just got the call!
Thank you! My interview was 9/8/21.Congratulations! What day was your interview?
Wow, got to love that turnaround time!Thank you! My interview was 9/8/21.
Congrats! I noticed in a previous comment that you had Auburn down as your 3rd campus choice. Do you mind if I ask why you think it was this campus that accepted you? Do you have ties to Auburn or the area?Just got accepted 😭😭😭
Im not sure but im glad they did! On my secondary when ranking schools I didnt put "strong preference" I put "I prefer my #1 but I am open"Congrats!

do you mind sharing your stats?This is the Auburn location so the “target“ region is the South East. The Appalachian region is the target region for the Virginia and I think Carolina campuses. But I think their overall focus is on both the Appalachian and SE.
Hey, I've not heard back anything from them. On what email, did you send them ? I want to inquire about my application status so I can receive secondary.This actually happened to me this cycle.

To your first question, I've heard they are running about 6 weeks to review completed apps, so I think you're potentially looking at a mid-October II if it comes. To question 2, based on VCOM's required courses (listed below), I think you'll have to take Organic II.Hey everyone! I have a few questions pertaining to VCOM-Auburn. First, I submitted my secondary towards the end of August. Does anyone know when an interview invite could potentially be extended. Second, I did not take Organic II in undergrad. Instead, I took biochemistry. Does VCOM accept this substitution or would I need to take Organic II prior to matriculation. Thanks!
would also like to know the answer to this questionAre the campuses going at different paces? I put Auburn as my top choice and was marked complete 8/30, but haven't heard back for an II, yet I just saw on the Carolina campus that someone complete 5 days ago just got an II....
You will not have to take Organic II.Hey everyone! I have a few questions pertaining to VCOM-Auburn. First, I submitted my secondary towards the end of August.

Thank you! This information is definitely reassuring.You will not have to take Organic II.
I am a third year student, they had the same requirements when I applied, and I did not take organic II. I took Biochem 1 and 2 instead.
I have friends that applied, got a secondary, and then an interview all within like 2-3 weeks - did not matter when they applied. I applied the first week of October, got a secondary the next day, and didn’t get an interview until 4 months later.
Would you mind sharing your stats?Just got II less than an hour ago. I was marked complete on 8/31
Sure, 3.71 sGPA, 3.76cGPA, 509 MCATWould you mind sharing your stats?
Thank you! Best of luck with your interview!Sure, 3.71 sGPA, 3.76cGPA, 509 MCAT

Complete 8/17, 3.9, 507Mind sharing your stats and when you were complete?
Nope not yet, i signed mine a few weeks ago tooI have a question for anyone that got an acceptance… Did anyone receive their MyVCOM Student Portal to send in the initial deposit electronically?! I signed the acceptance form electronically on September 16th.
I signed mine last week, still haven't heard anything from them.Nope not yet, i signed mine a few weeks ago too
Do you know if they are going to extend the deadline for us to pay electronically? Or we have to send by mail only now?Heard from admin that won’t be getting portal information until closer to the end of the year.
Not sure, I sent in by mail just to get it out of the way.Do you know if they are going to extend the deadline for us to pay electronically? Or we have to send by mail only now?
Same!Y'all I got the portal link email today!
I'd definitely be prepared to answer "Tell me about yourself." Other than that, I feel that the interview is more conversational and you can't really predict the questions.Hey guys does anyone mind sharing a few of your interview questions. I realize they will be different for everyone. I just want to prepare for the different ones. Thanks 😊

Would you both mind sharing when you were marked complete and when you received your IIs?Hey guys does anyone mind sharing a few of your interview questions. I realize they will be different for everyone. I just want to prepare for the different ones. Thanks 😊
I received secondary on 8/20/21 and I was marked complete on 8/31/21. Then, I was invited for interview on 9/27/21.Would you both mind sharing when you were marked complete and when you received your IIs?
That is helpful, but also frustrating since I submitted late July and wasn't marked complete until mid September and still have not gone under review. Seems like a bit of a mystery as to how they are approaching things.I received secondary on 8/20/21 and I was marked complete on 8/31/21. Then, I was invited for interview on 9/27/21.
Hope this helps
if it makes you feel any better I submitted late July and I am not complete but have had everything in. I emailed them and they said I am complete and yet I am still not in the portalThat is helpful, but also frustrating since I submitted late July and wasn't marked complete until mid September and still have not gone under review.

Only 8 people on this thread have mentioned getting an II or an A, so seems like the vast majority of people haven't heard anything from Auburn yet.My primary was submitted in mid August and haven't heard anything back. Anyone else?
What were your submission/complete/II dates and what order did you rank the schools in on your application?I interviewed with VCOM-Auburn last week and just got an acceptance letter from VCOM-Virginia campus. Is this normal?
