"Keep up the good work. This school is obviously run with integrity." More from this Member | Report Response

"I feel that the tour could have been better. I would have liked to tour the entire campus (nonmedical buildings). I believe that WCUCOM is unique because they have Undergrad/Grad programs, school sports, etc and they should talk about it during the interview. I also would have liked a more detailed presentation about our clinical years. WCU-COM uses a hub system, so students do not have to move a lot, but I would've liked detailed information about the hospitals (XYZ Hospital, XYZ beds, XYZ services, etc). I do not think the tour/presentation showed the school as best as it could have. (I liked the school, but the presentation could be improved)." More from this Member | Report Response

What do you like most?

"Some great professors, dean is nice" | Report Response

"Professors are usually kind, pretty intelligent, and make wonderful lecture materal that appears to be board relevant." | Report Response

"3rd and 4th year are under your discretion - but that's a double edged sword" | Report Response

"I got accepted with a very low score. They accept anyone, and everyone gets off the waitlist since most people accepted to WCUCOM and somewhere else choose the somewhere else." | Report Response

"The faculty, they are extremely helpful and you will get to know them." | Report Response

"Faculty, OSCE training, Physical exam training" | Report Response

"." | Report Response

What do you like least?

"OPP grading feels super subjective, schedule got signficantly worse this year vs other years." | Report Response

"OPP exams have a ridculously small time limit which makes them very rushed and not practical at testing competency." | Report Response

"Histology 1st year is dreadful - you'll find out 2nd year that most of OPP (while being ~120 years old) is not supported by most hard science, and only mostly used by people who run OPP clinics (source: https://jaoa.org/article.aspx?articleid=2765401). WCU will also require mandatory attendance only for the classes that aren't board/real-life relevant (OPP and CPC)" | Report Response

"EVERYTHING ELSE. Attendance is required so you have barely any time outside of class to study, because of this there's not enough time for self-care, cooking, exercise, STUDYING, sleeping, etc. William Carey doesn't care-y about anything except how to bring the school more money at any chance they can get. They'll fail students based on a ONE question difference, just to make them pay extra tuition for a semester. Carey also does NOT get the same experience and opportunities as other medical schools. Also, they are very unfair and irrational when doing placements for rotations. Someone can have a wife and baby or a significant other or family living in a rotation cite city, but they'll choose to give it to someone with no connections to that city. They don't listen to the students opinions or desires or care about what the students ever have to say." | Report Response

"Sometimes there can be some red tape with the admin and the attendance policy." | Report Response

"Cost" | Report Response
