Was your casper delivered by the time you got an II? I've been waiting for my Casper results to come in before I submit but I think I'll just send it

Submit asap. Don't worry, Casper results will come in separately.

Congratulations!!
Hope I can join the II club soon!
Edit: I just checked my portal and it looks like I’m on an interview hold.

Awesome! Do you know what date you're picking yet?

Maybe August 13th but not set yet. I did interview last year (December) and ended up getting WL. I did not like the whole virtual interview thing so I do wish this year was in-person. But I am still excited!

I know in their email they said a competitive mcat is 501+ but not sure if they screen

508 MCAT and 3.74 gpa. IS too though not sure that matters

Your stats are good enough to get in elsewhere and easily at ACOM. Hopefully you rectified any other shortcomings in your application or in your interviewing to warrant success this cycle.

How long did it take for you guys to be marked complete? Sittin at 1.5 weeks now.

with 1st year starting Monday I would imagine admissions will be a little slower then normal.

 

[heartkey99]

Hey guys, the admission office will not return my call. I wanted to know if CASPR is due BEFORE the interview or not? My top schools do not require caspr, this is the only school I am really interested in that does so I am not going to take it if I do not get an interview invite. Does anyone know if they send interview invites without caspr schools before I waste money submitting a secondary?

They don’t send IIs without CASPer unfortunately

Hopefully I hear good news next interview wave

 

[phrenicnerve]

submitted my primary on 7/5 and still have not received a secondary...should I contact them? Last year when I sent in a primary they had to resend my secondary because I never received it the first time so that's why I'm paranoid lol

[LonelykingT]

Interview waitlist -hold. How bad is this ?

+1 I’m hoping this is a good sign since it’s not a flat out rejection yet? I have lower stats so hoping for some love later in the cycle. If any past students/applicants have a take on this status I would appreciate it!

Are you IS? I think they are interviewing IS applicants right now as many of us OOS people are placed on the interview hold.

I'm not sure if it's residency-based -- I'm OOS w/ no ties to the state and have an II

Ah okay. Idk then

 

[DesperateDoc98]

I'm sure it's different for every applicant, but does anyone know about how long the timeline is between being put on an "interview hold" and receiving either a rejection or acceptance?

For reference I was put on interview hold last cycle on 9/25 and they did a second review on 2/25 and I was rejected.

Did they let you know they did a second review? Or was it kinda just a wave you noticed on SDN.

I’m hopeful that we will hear back by August like the previous poster who called and asked said 😬

They let me know through email

 

[drstranger]

For interview hold it could be a month before they update you or April. I know its not the answer you want to hear but its the reality of medical school admissions.

 

[heyhello123]

How did you go in answering " What are your personal attributes that demonstrate osteopathic philosophy?' prompt. Is this asking what qualities do you possess as a med school applicant?

I'm also confused about this question

 

[psychaspiring]

I'm also confused about this question

[brockhamptonfanacct]

Anyone know the post-II acceptance rate? Interview's getting real and I'm getting nervous!
