Is there a way to ever find out casper scores? I took it a while back but they never gave me scores or anything !
Technically no. However I saw on this thread last year that some interviewers actually told the interviewee but that was not protocol. Casper doesn't give you scores, they send them directly to the school.
 
On the secondary video interview page, is anyones saying "This page does not apply to you. Please proceed to the next page."?
 
Not necessarily. Their website says they definitely need your scores by the interview date so you could get an invite before youve taken it then but try to plan accordingly so scores are in. Honestly just take it as soon as you can.

do you get your Casper results immediately?

I virtually met with an Admissions Counselor for a DO program and while reviewing my application, she told me my score. I do not believe Meharry offers counseling appointments, but you could try with another program on your list.
 
How long does Meharry's interview cycle typically last? They sent out secondaries relatively late and I know a few people have begun to get interviews but I havent heard anything despite being complete since the 25th

25th of? Honestly they interview until relatively late so I wouldn't stress. Not many II have been sent.
 
Any II today?? I was hoping for one soon given the timeframe people applied who have ready received IIs....sigh...
 
It’s crazy. Meharry is my top choice and I’ve yet to get a secondary from them. All the 4 HBCU schools at that. I did receive one from Howard but it costs a lot for their app.
I did horribly on the MCAT and plan to retake in January.
I had a 2.7 undergrad, 3.8 Grad-MPH and 3.3 (current post-bacc). I’ve been screened by majority of the schools I applied to and got secondaries quickly. Morehouse doesn’t even have the decency to respond to my emails. But I never really wanted to go there. Meharry is my choice but it seems I’m not on their radar.

What was your MCAT score? I’m retaking in January also

What’s the 4th HBCU school?
 
Has anyone actually gotten an Interview Invite? It seems that people are confusing the II with a secondary invite.

II people, what are your stats?
I believe the IIs reported are legitimate. The people reporting have IIs from other programs judging by their post history so they know the difference. Read the last couple of pages and you should find the II with stats.
 
Hi I received a secondary for this school and I heard this school pre screens. I believe they pre screen holistically.. I read on their website they consider mcat scores of 498..My MCAT is a bit lower than that..I was wondering since I received a secondary should I still complete it?
What was your MCAT?

Howard will not consider umder a 494

Just be patient. Believe me. It doesn't mean you're not on their radar. There could be a million reasons. I've honestly been trying to keep a level head because they are also my first choice and I've seen a few users with similar stats as me getting II and the tendency to get anxious can be kind of strong but I'm trying to just believe in my worth and know that whatever is meant to happen will happen.

Not necessarily. I saw one person who has stats pretty similar to mine that got an II. It honestly is just super individualized.
I looked through the thread again and they are definitely working from higher MCATs to lower MCATs. Two people's LizzyM score (generalized stats) might be similar, but if you analyze it closer, they could be different. It could be either a combination of a high GPA + low MCAT or a lower GPA + high MCAT. I just think Meharry is prioritizing higher MCATs first (a lot of school's do that). Not saying they can't or won't deviate from that but that's the pattern I am seeing. It's a cycle: those high stat applicants end up choosing other programs and Meharry has no choice but to look at other applicants.

Yeah, I wasn't referring to LizzyM actually I was talking about actual gpa and MCAT score but I see your point. However with their average mcat being a 502, I'd imagine they take PLENTY of "lower" MCAT scores (much more than other schools). Let's all just hope for the best!

Of the three reported IIs (unless I missed someone), one had a lizzym 73, another an mcat of 511, and another a lizzym 72 so I feel like there is a pattern. Meharry's 90th percentile MCAT is like a 508 ish (my MSAR expired lol) so all those scores are well above that. I agree with your overall sentiment though. My point was that I believe they are working their way down, that's all. But I don't want to derail the thread any further. Fingers crossed for us all!
 
Howard will not consider umder a 494 if u want to save money
This is true. But if you look there are people who get into medical schools with very low MCAT, for whatever reason. My mentors are black males and they said their scores were less than sub par. I agree with you though, Howard is strict but I always feel what’s for you, is for you. Plus, a lot of PWI medical programs are now committed to being very holistic and trying to get more black students then ever, especially black males. So folks, don’t give up!
 
Meharry and morehouse u should get secondary same day if not u probably were screened
Not really. I already heard they were slow and people just started getting secondaries about a week or two ago. But I might’ve screened out of Morehouse, for whatever reason. But Meharry has at least corresponded with me through email.

Definitely! Appreciate that! Best Wishes!
 
I didn't get a secondary from Meharry same day. I got a secondary like 2 weeks later. They were actually the last school to send me a secondary.
yeah, Same. I didn't get Meharry's secondary to like a week after. Something must be messed up on their end bc they sent me an email saying my application was complete and being reviewed before they even sent me the secondary.
 
In the email it says
"On this web page, you will also find links back to the Application Home page and to the institution's web site. We recommend that you check both places for instructions on what to do next and how to check your admissions status from this point forward.

The admissions site will also let you know whether you will be informed regarding acceptance via postal mail or whether notice will be posted on the admissions home page."

But the web page doesn't have any of those links? If they update interview invitations via portal how can we check with no portal link?

they don’t send interview invites through the portal. You’ll get an email from the school if you get an interview.
