Can one of y'all give me an idea of what the dates available are? (Early/Late March?, April?) Congrats to all of us!

Scheduled for March 8!

How long did it take for the interview tab to show that you can schedule the interview after taking your VITA?

Wait actually I just signed up for the interview after inputting my SSN and photo upload. It took like an hour but after I logged in to the portal again, I saw the interview calendar and selected a date.

Oh okay! I put mine in this morning, but it still isn't showing up. Maybe it'll take a day!

II today! The only available interview date was March 10th.

Can you schedule your interview without doing VITA? The invitation says schedule an interview after your VITA interview but I have not received an invite to VITA yet. Is that something I'm supposed to do myself?

I'm not sure if you can schedule without doing VITA, but I know that invitations for VITA come out each Thursday! You should receive an email from [email protected] 🙂

How heavily is vita weighed? Does anyone know?

I did the same thing! Hopefully the VITA invite comes Thursday!

As I mentioned above, I haven't taken VITA yet and was able to schedule after inputting the interview information on their portal. It'll take like an hour or so to reload but then I was shown the calendar and received an email confirmation of interview date and time.

I accidentally did the same thing several months ago and reached out to the admissions office letting them know and they said it was no problem. I wouldn't worry about it

Would you happen to know if VITA is similar to the KIRA Talent Assessment?

I'm not sure what that is 🤔

 

[daisy16]

anyone hear about scholarship info? or if they even send any?

 

[Wolf-demon7]

I'm not sure what that is 🤔

Its an interview platform offered by Des Moine Osteopathic School of Medicine. You are asked a certain of number of video interview question and you have a minute and a half to answer. It wasn't that bad but I felt the questions were vague and the time limit was too short. Anyway it sounds like VITA and I'm just nervous lol

 

[Bem7c]

I think they send scholarship info at the beginning of April. (Dont quote me on that)

That sounds similar at least in structure to VITA. It definitely kind of sucks and seems pretty arbitrary but just push thru it. It felt rough for me but I ended up getting the A so can't matter all THAT much lol

Did anyone who interviewed in December or January hear back yet
I assume no just because I read that it takes a pretty long time, so I guess what I'm really saying is hello I'm nervous

I interviewed early January and haven’t heard back yet. I’m also extremely nervous and the wait is killing me, so hello to you too

Interviewed mid December and heard back 3 weeks ago! Seems like it’s pretty random as someone else heard back the same time and had interviewed in oct so they don’t seem to have a set timeline

That seems like a quick turnover?

After much deliberation, I decided to withdraw my II here 😭 SENDING POSITIVE VIBES IT GOES TO ONE OF YOU ALL

Does anyone know when Penn State's official commit to enroll (CTE) date is this year? I know AMCAS says we must choose plan to enroll or commit to enroll for a single school by April 30th, but I've read that each school has an individual deadline for when you must select commit to enroll if you initially chose plan to enroll.

Recently got an II after being put on pre interview hold in early January. In state URM 507 3.1 uGPA 3.70 masters GPA. Does anyone know if we've already completed VITA for another school whether we need to do it again for PSU?

You only do VITA once.

Has anyone who interviewed in late Dec still not heard back yet? Just hoping to hear something soon.

Yeah we should be hearing something next week is my guess. For the Dec 21st interview that I had, I assumed the full ten week turnaround. Super snail pace.

Does anyone know how generous Penn State is with financial aid/scholarships? Can't find much info on it and aid packages won't be released until April.
