Whattt that’s not great 🙁 they made it seem like multiple individuals from cusm see your responses

Wow that's interesting. I wonder why some people are hearing back while others aren't then, if it really just comes down to a score.

Dang I guess they just launched admissions decisions 🧍🏾 waiting for the email

That's the thing🤩
They don't usually🤪
They're frequent ghosters👻

 

[Bropro]

I have two friends at cusm and they both got off the WL in May of their app cycles. I want to say that there isn't much WL movement until that time.

 

[Storming]

Gonna wait another week or two for some correspondence (interviewed 10/3), but not loving this school so will withdraw if I don’t hear anything by that time.

Hoping that will clear some of the channels for y’all!

Hey! Just seeing the comments regarding the interview process. I'm super unfamiliar with their process can someone clarify? There's a virtual recorded interview that is reviewed and scored by a third party and then a regular online interview with faculty members at the school? How does one weigh compared to the other one?

No, only the Kira Talent interview. There is no direct interview with faculty.

Oh wow?? I had never heard of that before, kinda odd... Thank you for the response! 🙂

okay from some borderline neurotic forum digging, it appears most early waitlisted people get As. However, due to low sample size and no confirmation from MSAR, theres no real way to know

If I remember correctly, they only interview around 600 from their 6-7k apps, and they accept around 250. After interviews, it's either A or WL, and I think there's decent WL movement!

when do ppl start typically coming off WL? before the last II? or after the last II?

 

[femalecyborg]

Do y’all think early November interviewees can expect to hear back this month?

no idea for sure but anecdotally from my friends' experiences WL movement happened at the end of the cycle in May

I could be wrong but I think they mentioned your app wouldn't be considered complete until they receive your CASPer score. Not sure why they haven't updated their secondary invite to include CASPer being required considering it's been months since they made that change.

Hey! Does anyone that went to the first virtual engagement session know if it is webinar style where they can't see your video or if our camera is on the entire time. I saw a lot of people complaining on Kaiser's open house that they dressed up early in the morning just for no one to be able to see their video LOL.

[c@tlovers]

May I ask if you are also from IE? I’m waiting back to hear but am not IE so just a little worried 😅

Hi there! I am not from the IE, but that was also something I was worried about as well when waiting to hear back about decisions

Does anyone know what % of IE interviewees get an A?

 

[Storming]

Do y’all think early November interviewees can expect to hear back this month?

I'm an October interviewee and have not heard back. I'll also be withdrawing if I don't hear anything by EOM.

 

[Bropro]

Does anyone know what % of IE interviewees get an A?

An admissions video from last year said they interview ~600 and accept ~250 but I'm not sure if they're keeping things the same this cycle

Why wouldn’t you just withdraw now?

 

[HeyBabyBoy72]

I just got waitlisted interviewed 10/4 also not from IE but UCR undergrad so IE ties?

 

[Storming]

Why wouldn’t you just withdraw now?

I'll give them the full 3 months they said it may take. They also ghost ppl, so I'd rather wait the 3 months they said a decision may take and then withdraw if it's after that.

 

[justhopingforashot]

Thanks for the response! I just looked on their MSAR page and it says they interview about 510 in-state apps and 130 of those matriculate

NP! Here's the video I was referencing:

 

[DoubleDubs]

Does anyone know what % of IE interviewees get an A?

I might have read this somewhere so it could entirely be hearsay and not true, but I have heard that 20-30% of the previous incoming class is students from IE/IE ties.

 

[Woop99]

Does anyone know if this school ghosts? I took the Casper on 09/28 and haven’t heard anything

IS WL no IE Ties, Interviewed on 10/5

Yes, they do.

 

[justhopingforashot]

Yes, I agree! I just reached out to a friend who is an MS1 at CUSM currently and he said about 1/3 of his class is from IE!

Hi again team! I've been pretty quiet these last couple months because of rotations/family life but just wanted to reoffer myself as a resource in case you have any questions about the app process, interviewing, student life, or whatever else you may be curious about. It wasn't that long ago I was in your shoes and it meant a lot to have someone on the other side to talk to, which is why I'm more than happy to be that person for you guys if you need someone. Feel free to dm me if you'd like to talk in private or tag me here if you have any questions 🙂 best of luck to you all praying for your success throughout this app cycle!
