Whats the SPE?

Standardized patient encounter. You do it the week of your interview and it's supposed to give adcoms a better idea of how you interact with patients/peers and stuff

Crazy how i never heard about this until now. is info about it contained in your interview invite email?
 
for people who are interviewing this week, did you receive any email on how to access the interview (zoom link? interviewer's names? timing of interviews?)

yeah I got emails
 
Has A&M appeared on anyone's rank list in the TMDSAS portal? I interviewed a couple of weeks ago and it's still not there, whereas other schools are.
 
maybe a dumb question., but what stat are you guys referring to when you state "70's"
 
Does anyone know how pre-match heavy Texas A&M is? I have heard both that they initially try to fill all their seats with pre-match slots and others say that they dont pre-match that much.

just went through last years thread and looks like they offered around 20 or so prematch offers on Oct 15th. Maybe throw on 10 more prematch offers for the people who dont use SDN. Dont know if that qualifies as prematch heavy or not lol

If you interview after Oct. 15th can you still prematch?

I would say A&M is on the heavy side based on what I’ve seen, now you can still match and this is just from what I have gathered and I haven’t seen any raw data from the admin
 
AlturaAmor said:
Yes. You qualify to prematch if you interview before January 31st this cycle. Any interview after that date, you can’t prematch. Prematch is from October 15th-Jan 31st.

Do you know if the prematch timeline was pushed back at all this cycle?

I interviewed in August and it still hasn't appeared. I actually emailed admissions and they said that it should have just updated to TMDSAS a few days ago but idk...
 
Does anybody have any tips for how to prepare for the SPE? Is it something we can can even prepare for or is it best to just to be ourselves?

I did this last year while everything was in person so I don’t know if it’ll all translate, but here’s my experience with it.
Honestly, it was one of the highlights of my entire interview season. You aren’t required to know anything medical related (which is a relief because I wasn’t in med school yet) but they will throw you into a situation and ask you about your morals/ask for guidance. I know I was nervous going into it and I shouldn’t have been because it was a fun social challenge! It’s nothing you can’t handle, you’ve got this 🙂

II today for EnMed! Overjoyed 😊

Has anybody who has qualified for EnMed also gotten a regular MD interview?

When you interview for EnMed, you are interviewing for both. If they turn someone down for EnMed they will ask if they want to stay in contention for regular.
