This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
since the casper isn't required but only encouraged, should I submit it to the school even though I'm 4th quartile? 😕
Are you thinking 1st quartile? If it's 4th quartile you definitely send lol (90th percentile is higher than 70th percentile, 4th quartile is higher than 2nd quartile) and if you haven't already, then dw about sending it if they only recommend. It genuinely shouldn't hurt you even if you do send it but a lot of places aren't even considering casper this year, they only want it for data

oh yeah mb lol i meant 1st quartile

thanks
Oh btw I was reading about their CASPer consideration, their MMI interview format is supposedly similar to the test so even though it's not required, preparing for the test should help you during the interview. That's why they encourage it anyway.

Can anyone who previously interviewed at CMU talk about their experience? I saw that last year, it was 6 MMI stations. Were there any regular interviews, or is it just purely MMI?
Also to those who got interviews, have you received any updates or correspondence emails about the schedule? My interview tab still just says my confirmed interview date.

Hey I interviewed at CMU recently. They will send you an email a week or less before your interview date with details and information regarding the interview. They sent a whole prepared video for interviewers to watch beforehand and will give you plenty of time to ensure your webcam and mic and everything are working + how to test them out and such before the interview.

I did sign a contract so im not able to reveal much about the interview itself or how many stations and such but i will say it was a great experience. everyone i met was very kind and the interview day is pretty relaxed overall in my belief. If when you say "regular" you mean traditional interview, keep in mind all MMIs can have a mix of traditional interview questions in them so i would just be ready for both in case.

anyone knows when they start sending rejections?
 
My status has been "your application is ready" for a while now. Does this mean that they haven't reviewed mine yet?

It is an MMI + group interview and i believe they make that info public on their website and they'll tell you in the email you get.

ahh thank you so much!! my interview is the upcoming Friday and still no news from CMU regarding the interview info. Maybe it'll come by Monday?

Something like that. I forgot exactly when I got it. Just look up MMI preparation guides here on SDN/Reddit and that’s more than enough! Or some youtube mmi scenarios. Good luck!!

Thanks! 🙂 Also, in these MMI stations, do we have to present a 7 minute speech? Or are there followup questions or feedback throughout these stations?

Are these interviews really only 2 hours?? I’ve been exhausted by other long interview days so far so this seems too good to be true 😅

Congratulations. When were you complete if you don’t mind?

To anyone who has interviewed recently …

I was in the first group and they were quite vague about when we’d hear back and alluded to mid/late Oct, but didn’t specifically say Oct. 15. In recent interviews, have they been more specific on when we’d hear a decision? TIA

Wondering the same, I don’t have any idea about timeline here

historically they've released acceptances on oct 15
 
Would it be a good idea to email the school and inquire about the status of my app if I haven't heard back from them >6 weeks? I'm talking about since submitting my secondaries.. thanks!
 
II 10/13, LM 60, ORM, OOS with no ties

Edit: Does anyone know the chances for OOS acceptance after receiving an interview? OHSU (Oregon) also prefers in-state applicants, but everyone has an equal chance of getting in if they receive an interview regardless of residency. I was wondering if this was also this was also the case at CMU.

Do you mind sharing when you were complete
 
Y'all got results already? I didn't get anything 😢
Did anyone else interview 10/1, maybe it's too early to hear back
 
Any insight on the group activity? Or advice? Not sure what to expect.
