My II said 2 weeks from the II which was like a day or two before I got the VITA invite ;YMMV
Gotcha, I have yet to receive an II, so I’ll just follow my current plan. Thanks for the heads up!

Yupp, had the same exact problem! Checked Spam and Trash, but the email was nowhere to be found even though they sent it weeks ago. Thought it was only me, but seems like it's happened to a few people. Was using a college associated email which didn't have a problem with any of the other MedAdmit portal invites except this one.
Aw what :/ I was hoping that VITA means you’ll get an II. I’m surely not gonna get an II with my lame VITA performance LOL
i'm kinda stressed that the interview is only 20 minutes...does this mean it's more of a vibe check LOL. how can a productive convo happen in 20 min ahhhhhhh. 20 mins is too short to make an impression imo

Have others who already interviewed had the same experience of a single, 20-minute open-file interview for reg MD?
Thank you for replying.
Well, they ”resent” it at about 6pm, the day they said it was due!
I asked for an extension.
Has anybody who got the VITA invite on Thursday 10/29 gotten an II yet?

Nope, still waiting
Hi all,
I received a VITA Invite on Thursday, 10/29, and completed the VITA on Tuesday, 11/3 (had to complete it for another school by friday), and I received the real II on Wednesday, 11/4 evening.
Not sure if it was pre-screened given the turn around time, but just wanted to mention it.

Congrats! How did you feel like you did on the VITA?
Thanks!
I felt pretty neutral about the whole experience, to be honest. I was able to come up with answers to each question without too much trouble, but I feel like it was hard to gauge how well I did because there’s no human feedback. Just did the best I could, I guess!
Anyone here never received a VITA to join the conversation?
Nothing here, my VITA was done already so it was just the update notice.

So today is the day we should hear about a real interview if we got the VITA invite on 10/29?
I hope so...but what makes you say that?

Well people for some reason have been saying there is a 10 day rule based on the previous time this happened haha, I'm mostly just worried if the VITA is used as a screening tool because I felt not great about it

I haven't submitted mine yet (working full-time currently) so do you think I won't get the official II until I send my VITA in?
Some people previously got an official II before VITA, so you may too! Who knows..
Lmao I don't remember much from VITA b/c my answers were all over the place.
How long after your VITA invite did you receive an official II? And when did you receive your VITA? Thanks!
iono what feels worse though, vita being a screen or vita taking up a large weight of the post II decision 🙁🙁
Right? I want to somehow let my interviewer know (that is, if I ever get an II) that I’m not the same person as I was in my VITA. lol

Interview coming up, any tips?
Just confirming: Stanford DOESN'T accept pre-II letter updates? I just got a paper accepted for publication (first author) and was wondering if I could email this to them.
Ya I think so their admissions website says u can only update after ii

For those that had their interview already, what is the 20 min interview like? Was it just conversational? And was there enough time to actually present yourself? Thanks!

VITA = interview invite. it's not a pre-interview screen and it's used as an MMI replacement

Hi everyone! The Stanford website doesn't specify when VITA must be complete. I see that 2 weeks is recommended, I might need to go over that (likely 15/16 days). Will that ruin my chances?
Coming up on 2 weeks since 10/29 VITA update from AAMC, no official II from Stanford. I feel like I'm being trolled.
+1
In the II email, they say you must complete VITA within two weeks. I would really try to aim for no more than 2 weeks, but reach out to admissions if you're concerned?
Same here 🙁
Wait so you didn't get a VITA invite email?
I also did VITA for another school months ago, and I got a VITA email for Stanord on 10/29. No II though
edit: also congratulations!!!!
VITA here last week. Completed VITA the other day and got an official invite today.
