The PSTP track is separate from Berg Scholars! It's their 5-year research focused MD curriculum where M2 is spread across 2 years and you're doing research 50% of the time during this period. I think the Berg is a 6 year program that also gives you an MS in research sciences. Here's a link with more info about the PSTP:
GOTCHA. Cool, I think I accidentally talked about that in my MSTP application….oops.The PSTP track is separate from Berg Scholars!

Congrats!! When were you complete?
On the MD PhD side of things, there have been several rejection waves sent out and everyone who I know that marked yes has survived those waves. But none of them have gotten interviews. So, I don’t know if that helps at all? Just got the application in like an hour ago… Here’s hoping
Yes did it for UCI. It is like casper snapshot tailored to the school. Ex. Stanford makes the questions.
Yes, I did. I submitted late July, got an interview invite late September. Submitted my KH application yesterday.
Thanks! I appreciate you answering 🙂 Best of luck to you!
It's basically the video/audio platform that interviewees complete their MMIs on. I heard that many schools utilize the Zoom breakout rooms for their MMIs, but I guess Stanford and UCI are using Kira. And yes, they usually send it leading up to the date. I received my Kira Talent email today for my interview next week 🙂
Is Stanford only using Kira? I know UCI is using Kira but there’s also one on one traditional interviews in addition to that.
Did it for UCI, but it's a one-way interview platform. Quite similar to Casper Snapshot (if you did that). Question shows up on your screen, you get X amount of time to think about it, and then it'll auto-record you for some time while you give your response. Repeat.
It says it's open-file in the portal for me.
Weird ... my interviewer didn’t reference my application once.
On the MD/PhD side I think Rs are all they have sent out. At least like 10. Which is a lot considering there are only like 50 of us lol
pre-II for me
think it’s separate
Yes I think so too because they indicated it was a separate process, but you never know, so I’m curious if someone gets an R who did the KH app
+1 Pre-II R, complete mid july LizzyM 82.2
I did not end up submitting it and now I’m glad I didn’t lol.
Hopefully the former, but my gut tells me the latter :/
