Does anyone know if Kaiser is going to release the stats of students who were admitted/matriculated this year (since MSAR is from 2 years ago, I think)?
i'd like to know this as well. seems like they would be pretty high as a lot of the help me decide threads on here had kaiser paired with high ranking schools.

I'd expect them to release a class profile sometime this summer/fall when the first years start

I don’t think they are requiring it this cycle. Kaiser is no longer on the CASPer website, and I can’t find the CASPer requirement on Kaiser’s website anymore either. You could contact admissions to check for sure.
Thanks so much!
Not sure if you've contacted admissions yet, but I did about a week ago and they told me they don't require CASPer this year
Was in an info session with them a few weeks ago. They said they would update MSAR and their website in "early June" once the class is finalized
Did Kaiser disappear on anybody else's MSAR?

Nope!
Weird! I checked it yesterday and it was missing but it's back this morning. No idea what happened.

I noticed that they state they will require an online Situational Judgement Test, however they aren't one of the 2 schools AAMC mentioned would be piloting their program. I wonder what this means, maybe their own Situational Judgement Test

Oh no. If that's the case, they might get dropped off my school list.
Where did you see that?

It's on their websites under "Application Process"
Did Kaiser yet publicize the stats for their inaugural application process and matriculating class?
I was wondering the same thing. I poked around the website but couldn't find anything. Do you think it would be worth it to email?
Just sent an email to them asking about SJT and stats! Will keep you guys posted
Got the most useless response. Does anyone else want to try?
I asked about stats and if the AAMC SJT was required and got this response:
"The CASper test is not required. Statistics will be made available via MSAR soon."
I actually addressed both. For me, a hobby became a job became the subject of my undergraduate research.
Notification of 1° from AMCAS. OOS.
+1 IS
my amcas hasnt been verified yet but kaiser sent me an email saying they got my primary app?? im confused
I just got the same email even though there's no way my application is getting verified any time soon (submitted 7/4/20), super confused as well?
EDIT: Found this post: Secondaries only after verification?
So it looks like Kaiser opted in for that and sent out the primary received email to be courteous I guess lmao

Got mine as well. OOS
currently refreshing my email like a mad man!
I'm so happy the prompts are the same--we had no precedent to tell if they would've changed haha
Secondary Received! OOS.

Same, IS ORM
Happy to help if people have questions. I don't know average stats or competitiveness, but just at a glance, most of the OOS students (most, not all!) hail from top OOS schools. However, I think the class is very diverse! From our limited group interactions, minorities, nontrads, LBTQ, big universities, small liberal arts colleges, and more were well-represented.
Also, the inaugural class size has very recently been updated to 50 students. I am not too surprised at the expansion, but I do not know if the upcoming cycle's class size will be the same. I hope so, as more the merrier!

Do we submit our letters directly to kaiser? my letters of recommendation/app have been processed by amcas but it still says letter of references not received on the secondary portal
I think they just need to update the system. Mine says the same thing but if you click on the documents tab it has all my letters entered and that page says received.
Yeah its a portal

Do they screen? I received primary notification but no secondary yet. In state.

I read on the website that they don’t screen. I got the primary notification 4+ hours ago and still haven’t gotten a secondary either. I’m also IS.
+2 IS
Same here, I'm just gonna wait on it and see if it gets updated

Does anyone else see "Not recevied" next to Letter of Recommendations under the Status tab. But under the Document Status tabs my letters are all there marked as received.
I see this too!
