Wow that’s amazing! They told us it wouldn’t be until at least November. Guess it’s time to start neurotically checking the portal every day 🤣

Did they mention what the post II acceptance rate would be?

 

[deleted976595]

They didn’t mention it but they’re interviewing 24 people per week until like January/February so for a class of 48 + California + tuition free/need based living grants I’d imagine it’ll be very low

Does anyone know when the first interview day for Kaiser was?

Congrats! Stats? Do you think you'll end up going, or do you think you'll wait and see where else you get in?

 

[peachyhoney]

Stats?

Just added my LizzyM to my signature. It is much lower than some of the others I've seen here so hopefully it gives some of you hope.

I'm still waiting on results from 3 other California schools so I will make the decision then but it is definitely one of my top choices!

Around later September. I was surprised to hear back so early.

 

[peanuttbuttah]

[mandyads]

When did you complete the primary?

I can't find the exact date, but mid-late August. My CASPEr was complete on Septermber 8th though.

Hey everyone,

I am interviewing at Kaiser tomorrow 10/24.

I live in El Segundo, right next to LAX airport. So if anyone has an evening flight to catch I would be no trouble if you came along.

An Uber from El Segundo would be much cheaper than from Pasadena.

Cheers

[Neuro244]

Any moderators who would be open to giving feedback on these secondary questions?

 

[GloballyMed]

There goes my chance of possibly going to med school for free lol

It’s not over yet.

What do you mean by only one date available in January? Are you saying there's only one more spot available in the upcoming matriculating class or what?

Kaiser only offers you one interview date, no choosing.

Only one interview date is available for scheduling. There are still multiple spots available, but the later in the cycle you go, the fewer seats that are left. With their interview season scheduled through February 15th, we are running out of available dates for interviews.

I see what you're saying. What matters most though is getting that interview spot, who cares when it is. The important thing is getting your foot in the door. Let me ask you for your opinion. Would you personally even bother applying here/filling out the 2ndary application with a sub 500 score?

I can't tell you what Kaiser is looking for, but they have one of the cheapest secondary fees, and since you already paid for the primary, I would finish the secondary (remember it is due by November 1st). You never know unless you try. Personally, I would rather seize the opportunity and "fail" then to not even attempt it.

Yeah, I agree with that. I'm working on the application and plan on having it submitted by then. Everything else on my application is rock solid, it's just that damn MCAT score.

Can anyone who has already interviewed give a little preview of the day, by chance? Is there a shuttle from LAX to the hotel? Much appreciated 🙂

 

[CaptainPoopyPants]

Received II today! I'm super excited, this is one of my top choices. The curriculum is a little worrying though. Where can I find more information about it?

Didn’t fly in since I’m semi local. Day is super chill andnprobably not much different than most interviews you’ve already had. They fed us breakfast AND lunch tho which made me really happy haha

There's no shuttle to Pasadena but you can take the FlyAway bus to Union Station downtown and then take the metro gold line to Pasadena. I only had to walk a couple of blocks to the hotel they put us up in from the metro station.
