For those who got II's, if you don't want to personalize your stats by telling us directly on a forum, there is this tool on Reddit to track when schools are giving out II's and what stats, etc. they're giving them out to (helps us know if they're going by MCAT & GPA, or if they've started reading apps more in-depth)

If you feel like it:
 
II received 3:02 CST today!! In state, 504 MCAT, 3.97 cGPA, 3.94 sGPA, and completed 6/30
Edit: my primary was transmitted 5/25 and I was complete on 6/30. I was so excited when I wrote this that I originally wrote my complete date incorrectly haha

CONGRATS guys! For those who got interviews, did all of yall get a high Casper percentile? I also applied a month ago with decent stats but didn't hear back, wondering if maybe my low Casper quartile was holding me back. I know UTMB places some weight on Casper.

Go gettem during yalls interviews! 🙂

I had a high Casper but I sincerely doubt it plays a major role—hang in there!
 
Did they change the interview format? Was it always 8 MMI questions?

I didn’t answer that question and still got an II. I genuinely think it’s optional (if you don’t have any major hardships).
 
I have the green checkmark next to my application being complete, but I never received a complete email? Did this happen to anyone else? It has been like this since mid-june.

That's weird, I just checked and did get a complete email from UTMB (was complete in mid-to-late June). I'd probably call tomorrow just to confirm that they're not missing anything

Actually, I can see it in my email, the problem is I can't see it under the communication status tab in my portal. Are you able to see it in there?
 
How long did it take for people to be marked complete at this school? I submitted my secondary last week, but still don't have the complete check mark on the secondary portal.

Sorry for the late reply if you've already figured it out but mine was instant after my payment if that helps.
 
For the personal MMI questions, do you have to answer the question for 8 minutes? If they ask "what motivated you to do medicine" does that response have to be 8 minutes long? Are you allowed to take notes in the 3 minutes of prep time?

Yes each station is 8 minutes & all the advice I’ve seen online says to answer with as much time as you need it’s ok not to use up the whole time just be thorough in your response
