What’s casper snapshot?

It's literally CASPER's version of VITA bc apparently Altus and AAMC are battling it out between SJT and CASPER / VITA and Snapshot with people applying in the middle of a pandemic getting caught in the middle : ' )

What’s casper snapshot?

It's a supplement to regular Casper and a bit like VITA in the sense that they ask you a question and record your thought process via asynchronous video

 

[youngking]

Where would we even take CASPER Snapshot? I didn't get notified of it

[squids82]

What is Michigan Monday??

Every Monday when they send out II’s. Crossing my fingers!

 

[Idahomie]

Who else is excited for Michigan Monday???

This is my motto for every Michigan Monday. I think it might fit for this entire application season in general.

I just saw this:URiM: includes all AMCAS Under-Represented in Medicine categories + Middle Eastern/Arab American decent. The UMMS definition of URiM during our holistic review extends beyond race and ethnicity to include LGBTQ+ applicants and applicants with disabilities. We are currently developing methodologies to appropriately gather this data from our future class members.


Was there a place on the app to indicate your specific race? I no longer remember... How would they know if an applicant is Arab since that's usually noted down as white?

Wait, so is Middle Eastern underrepresented?

 

[deleted1038508]

Wait, so is Middle Eastern underrepresented?

According to Michigan, it is. However, they haven't employed a specific way of identifying these people since in AMCAS they fall under the "white" category. So I'm not sure how they go about doing it. Perhaps by family background?

Thanks for the info, is there a link to where it says this?

Thank you so much!

 

[Unconditionalloves]

thank you for your detailed write up

 

[Unconditionalloves]

UMich is even more of a real one for saying they won't use ca$per snapshot even if we send it in

Getting that email gave me a mini heart attack ....

 

[ripmysociallife]

good luck to everyone on the first Michigan Monday of the app season 😛

 

[TabbyTuxy]

Happy Michigan Monday! I remember reading on an old thread that UMich sends II to their OOS applicants first, as a general rule. Does anyone know roughly when they begin sending a lot of IS II (even a general month)?

You could peek at the 2019-2020 interview tracker to see when in-state started receiving interviews and then adjust that to this year's michigan monday (today)

 

[futureSurgeon98]

do we know what time they send out IIs today?

 

[ripmysociallife]

do we know what time they send out IIs today?

I believe not until late afternoon (3-6 pm), based on last year’s thread and as far back as I could go on their Twitter lol

I did but only one IS person documented their II at all.

 

[electr!c]

Looks like someone posted in the tracker they got their II so I guess they've already been sent out

 

[deleted1064759]

Oh boy

 

[deleted1040408]

Yep, saw that lol, basically a 524/4.0

[Chromatica]

I'm gonna just tell myself it was fake. LOL

 

[deleted1038508]

No Mich II on first Michigan Monday... RIP to our hopes and dreams /s

 

[deleted1040408]

no email. but huge congrats to all the people who got an II from them today!

 

[Sartino404]

Are they sent out all at once, or over the course of the day?

 

[futureSurgeon98]

Are they sent out all at once, or over the course of the day?

idk about that but their twitter account usually posts once they send out the IIs. And they haven't posted yet today, so I am assuming they are not done sending them out yet??? idk, maybe a little too optimistic haha

My pessimistic (/realistic) side says they've already sent them all out at once and just only one of them uses SDN/reddit haha. We'll probably be seeing a tweet sometime soon.

yep. that was my pessimistic guess too... current UMich undergrad here....

 

[Verynervouspremed]

Is it true that they send II's to OOS students first?

 

[Havelock Vetinari]

We’ll be okay. Just have to be patient.

 

[deleted1038508]

No, an In state person got an II according to a friend

 

[Verynervouspremed]

@xxfamas1193xx got it. I submitted my secondary only 4 days ago so not expecting anything for a while.

 

[dindjarin87]

Please see #163. This post resonates on a spiritual level, @Idahomie.

 

[annaleise9210]

Lol, someone else got an II with nearly the same stats as the other person (524/3.96)

 

[thunderstorm1824]

lol this thread is making me feel bad about my 516

 

[will scott]

Lol, someone else got an II with nearly the same stats as the other person (524/3.96)

So are the giving out II one by one? I guess in my mind they would release 20 all at once idk. Just don’t know if I should give up spamming my email refresh or not.

 

[ripmysociallife]

not to be sus but i feel like I’ve seen a weird amount of 524 on the II tracker

 

[Chromatica]

Right there with you king/queen @thunderstorm1824

 

[will scott]

+1

 

[Havelock Vetinari]

Those are my stats, but no II for me (yet). I wonder if Texas residency works against me. Texas isn’t listed as one of the top ten states from which students in their matriculating class come — somewhat surprising given its size.

 

[deleted1038508]

It's because some MF with a 524 from texas applied to like 500 texas schools and got an II to all of them lol

 

[Blue Lion]

This thread is so painful because not only don’t have a secondary, but my AMCAS isn't even verified yet. There was a mistake in how my transcripts were submitted, and now I have to wait an additional three weeks...

 

[annaleise9210]

They just tweeted, 27 IIs total were given out. Congrats to everyone who got one!

 

[futureSurgeon98]

They only sent out 27 IIs today as their twitter account just posted. So we will be fine, just gotta be patient! They usually interview around 500 ppl
