Pretty sure my CASPER score killed my chances as well...

Isn’t 4th quartile the highest? I.e., 75-100 percentile score?

congrats! got the R here, but saw you got an II yesterday (or maybe last week) too! you're killing it 🙂

[pi_grl]

Not me crossing my fingers for an II since my complete date is around the recent posters even though I’m 1st quartile Casper

 

[premedasaurus]

Oops haha

For anyone who interviewed, is there no other event on interview day besides the interview itself? No welcome panel, Q&A, or anything else? I know they held sessions on other days, but I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything for interview day, itself.

That was my experience….only the interview on interview day

 

[caramelsauce]

Also, do we have to attend those other sessions the same week as our interview, or could I technically attend anytime?

 

[confusedonceagain]

Pre II R - complete 7/26 - 518 3.8X

I think anytime! As long as it is before your interview, from what I understand

 

[SkiStallion]

complete 7/29 and still haven't heard anything. Should I take this as a good sign?

I haven't heard back either, but not holding my breath for this one. I was complete 8/01, LM 75-76 and I also thought I had a chance for a while, but I think it may just be that I was assigned a slow reviewer.

Pre-II R, complete mid July. LM 75, OOS

Are they on a 4 day R streak?

 

[Gothpanic]

Do they just wake up and send mass rejections

 

[beansncheese]

Question for those who already interviewed - was there anything specific asked during your interview about the info sessions/is there a real reason the sessions are "required" before interviewing or are they just like any other info sessions?

Due to a scheduling conflict, I had to change my interview date from 12/14 to 11/17, so my intro session with Dr. Goodell is now AFTER my interview. I am panicking about this a bit and would appreciate any insight!

The intro session is just like all the others, don't stress! Although Dr Goodell makes it engaging and fun. It was nice to get a feel for BU before my interview but definitely not essential by any means. I think I remember them saying that it was "strongly recommended" or something to attend pre-interview but definitely not a requirement. Good luck interviewing!

What percentage of interviewees were all formally dressed up? (during the intro session)

 

[apple_juice]

What percentage of interviewees were all formally dressed up? (during the intro session)

majority of people at mine were in suits- I felt a little weird at first because I was dressed v casually, but Dr. Goodell said something like “I see a lot of you are dressed to the nines and I appreciate it, but you really didn’t have to!!”

Thank you so much!! Definitely feeling much better and appreciate the help!
