Technically no, as the deadline is October 30, but buddy this is late.

Yep. They are in Texas which means they started interviewing much ahead of the rest of the AAMC schools.
 
Another MS1 here at BCM! Feel free to DM with any questions about BCM/the experience here so far/how BCM has adjusted during the pandemic/anything else!
 
What is the interview format at Baylor? Also, is there something specific I should prepare for? Thank u!!!

Chances are that they probably haven't reviewed the VITA for a lot of the recent interviewees. All you can do is just submit asap. A lot of people in this thread mentioned not getting the AAMC VITA until very close to their interview date anyways.

Vita invitations won't close until later in April. The deadline by the school is just set by them. So unfortunately there's not really a "warning" that will tell you to do it. I'm sure they will be understanding with unusual circumstances going on currently. Definitely do it today though!
 
pls give me ii 🙁. Haha also does anyone know how far out they're currently scheduling interviews. Starting to give up hope on the chance of getting an ii here since I was complete in august

Complete mid-July + silence = you two are no where near alone!
 
I know Baylor accepts letters of intent, but do they also accept significant updates? Like publications, awards, etc?

Updates of any kind are only accepted from applicants who have not received an II. You can bring up any updates in an interview. Per the BCM website:

May I send updates to my application?
Yes, if you have not received an invitation to interview at Baylor then you can send updates to [email protected]. If or when you receive an invitation to interview, updates to your application will not be accepted. Those who have interviewed may send "letters of intent" to the VIA email address provided during interview days, but not updates to their application.

I appreciate your response. I saw this on their website, but during my interview I thought I remembered them saying they made some exceptions for what they deemed “significant” updates. But I might have just misheard them. Thank you again for your help!
 
On the interview portal, is it required that we upload our green card? Sorry, I cannot find this information anywhere on their website :/

I have seen it stated they will send out their first offers Nov 15 or later.

I would say nothing should be expected before about 19-20th because traditionally they start weekend before Thanksgiving week.
 
Hey, does anybody know if Baylor needs your Casper BEFORE the secondary deadline?

If you select the schools that you will be sending your CASPER score to, they will tell you the latest possible test date that will allow for enough time to get your score to all of those selected schools before the earliest deadline.

Each school’s Casper deadline is different and not necessarily the same as their secondary deadline. It depends on how they factor in your Casper to their admissions process.

so I would suggest doing this

Will do, thanks!
 
I apologize if this is written somewhere, I've been looking on the website and on here but haven't found the answer. I remember my interviewer mentioning it but I've entirely forgotten. Does anyone know relatively how long after an interview you can expect to hear back?

You can probably hear back as soon as two weeks, until the end of the cycle.

I think the CASPER deadline for Baylor is the same as the secondary deadline. If you try to schedule a new CASPER test and select Baylor College of Medicine as the location, the system says that Baylor's distribution deadline is Nov 30 (see screenshot)
