In previous years there has been no secondary for UTMB.

 

[wysdoc]

Correct, no secondary but they would like you to take the CASPer online test.

Do they wait for CASPer and recommendations before inviting for an interview?

 

[wysdoc]

Everyone, here is an application timeline for UTMB. As you can see, they BEGIN reviewing applications in July and begin interviewing in August.
Application Timeline

If your application is incomplete you will get an email at some point but not yet.

It is early. Congratulate yourself for getting things done. Spend some time reading the sites of each school and doing your regular work.

UTMB now sits in a multiple-way tie for the 2nd highest median GPA in the nation (with JH and NYU tied for 1st). I only mention it for those who wish to strategically target their application/interview resources.

Are they eliminating candidates with lower GPAs from interviews?

Are they eliminating candidates with lower GPAs from interviews?

Historically speaking, UTMB has screened heavily based on applicant GPA.

Just received email confirmation that my application is under review.

Will they let us know if they've received our CASPer scores? I took mine May 14th and it says the results have been delivered.

I don't think so, the email I got has a generic "don't forget to take CASPer" message even though my results were delivered a while ago.

Do they wait for CASPer and recommendations before inviting for an interview?

Did you ever figure this out? I know last cycle they did not wait for CASPer.

[QueenLurker]

Just emailed them; CASPer scores need to be in before getting an interview invitation.

Just emailed them; CASPer scores need to be in before getting an interview invitation.

According to my CASPer account it's been sent, but were we supposed to receive an email from them indicating they've received our scores? I have confirmation from other schools that my CASPer was received by them as well.
