Didn't they say 8-12 weeks from the virtual engagement day? Thought the first engagement day was 10/27
They told us 8-12 weeks from the interview. I think the first interviews happened around 10/3 or 10/4 so this week could be the first week of decisions

Yes that’s what I heard too, I was invited for II on Sept 28th… finished the Oct 4th so hopefully soon!
 
Question - why did this school have like no OOS matriculants last year despite it being private? Do they have a strong IS preference or just didnt have that great of an OOS pool? Just curious. Thanks!

Their mission is very tied to the inland empire so OOS applicants would need to have strong ties to the area
 
Wait what? Is that normal, I received mine either
It was an email that said this "California University of Science and Medicine Regular M.D. program invites you to take the next step with your application." about 4 days later and it took me to my secondary portal and only had 12/15 on there.

Strange, I haven’t received anything. Maybe they saw my face and responses and immediately noped 🤣
 
Did anyone get an email saying that the Casper exam is now required for the 23-24 application cycle because of the recent Supreme Court case? If I had applied any later, I would have missed the last testing date in December. I also think it not fair for applicants who apply right up to and on the deadline. What do they do then?

Yes and they gave a reimbursement!
 
Is there point in me sending in secondaries? I just got mine, but I would love to go here. IS ORM 3.7 506
 
I haven't gotten one either and interviewed about the same time. I think its just TBD at this time, I'd imagine given some time we will get an email about it later. We just gotta play the waiting game for now.
 
Interviewed 11/14 and scheduled virtual engagement day for Jan 26th. Do you think it's possible to hear before then given the 8-12 week window someone mentioned earlier? Or do they wait til after the virtual engagement?
 
I didn't get my secondary yet. But I will reject it
I'm gonna let it fly just on the 1% chance they give me the time of day. You never really know what can happen (I am dying writing answers to these questions). But looks like you're having a stellar cycle so far tho so totally understandable.
 
so do they screen heavily for secondaries? or was I just put at the end of the line for one 🙄
 
Someone I know asked when they expect to hear back and they interviewed really early I guess

I thought they had originally said to expect to hear back in 8-12 weeks? which would be the month of December for those who did the Kira interview early October
 
For those who got the engagement sign-up thing a few days ago, they did not send another email with any link right? I am trying to look on the secondary portal but CUSM might just take the cake for having the worst and buggiest secondary portal lol

They say they’ll email with details one week before your chosen date

That’s what I heard and I was in that interview. They basically said it’ll be longer than expected bc of the holidays
