This is an appeal to applicants who have taken Casper for admission to Central Michigan University SOM.
Complete the 2023 Situational Judgment Test Experience survey.
HPSA/SDN has the 2023 SJT Experience Survey available to anyone preparing for SJTs (especially Casper and PREview). If you completed the 2022 survey, you are welcome to go ahead and complete the survey again. This survey consists of multiple pages and will take up to 10 minutes. You can also place yourself on a waitlist for a study focusing more on school-run SJTs run through platforms like Kira Talent, to be released later in the year.
Your feedback matters!
We learned a lot about how applicants prepared for Casper and PREview last year, but the number of PREview schools has almost doubled this cycle! Over 20% of all AMCAS applicants will likely have taken PREview, and up to 90% of all medical school applicants will likely have taken Casper this cycle (according to Acuity Insights). This does not include applicants in non-medical professions who have had to take these assessments for admission to physician assistant, anesthesiology assistant, dental, veterinary, pharmacy, or physical therapy programs, where we see a trend that applicants with higher Casper results are preferred. Medical residency applicants are also being asked to complete Acuity Insights Assessments, and very little is known about how program directors use these data. Your responses are vital to get objective insights on how admissions committees value the results of these exams.
Your feedback matters!
We want to hear from as many people as possible, especially those attending or applying outside of medicine (MD/DO). This year saw an expansion of SJTs in admissions, and more information has been made available on preparing for these assessments. We want to stay current with these trends to guide future applicants and students facing these SJTs.
Many of our findings from the 2022 survey align with the NAAHP Testing Task Force report released last summer. This includes concerns about proctoring, consistency of scoring, and concern that applicants are paying for validity research. But we need more student voices to gain a louder voice to advocate for future health professional school applicants.
Your feedback has helped HPSA develop a workshop focused on preparing for SJTs like Casper and PREview. This workshop is part of our Becoming a Student Doctor preparation course, and we have already had some positive results among those who have participated in our mock interview workshops. An updated workshop will be presented at the UC Davis Prehealth Conference on October 14, and we welcome opportunities to present the full-length SJT workshop to your campus!
Fill out this survey and help future applicants become physicians in their chosen profession!

I'm wondering the same thing. I've applied previously and never got that email, just the rejection come spring.

Here's hoping that you will get an II this cycle. Everyone tells me it's not over until March. So hang in there friend!!!!
Interviewed today and I was told that some (very rarely) hear back in two weeks and most in 6-8 weeks, though it may take a few months to hear back. They also said there was no ghosting, so we should hear back eventually for an A, WL, or R.

Does anyone know the post interview acceptance rate?
According to MSAR, it was ~19.5% last year (103 As, 528 IIs)
Had my interview last week and jotted down some info for those still waiting.
They are expecting 14 total interview dates and the 7th of 14 was 11/10. They start in October and will interview all the way until March. There will be no waitlist movement until after April 30th. They are projecting to interview roughly 500 or so applicants for 104 spots.
Hope that helps.

this would make more sense considering how many people could have been accepted but chose to go elsewhere.

Does continued interest email mean anything? I got one too!
it goes to everyone who interviewed
My conspiracy theory mind is telling me that they want to see who is really interested in the school so they kept it lowkey and in-person lol
Interviewed 10/6 and I received it as well. I was a bit confused as I recall admissions stating it was only open to people who had received an acceptance due to limited space
What are people's opinion about this in-person event? It seems very informative and given the agenda, looks to be a fairly major event. But its quite the time commitment during a busy season for work for me.
I'm taking it as "good if you go, won't hurt your chances if you don't go?"

I think that probably sums it up. I’m just really curious about whether it went to everyone who interviewed or not. I am almost sure the head of admissions stated that only accepted students could be accommodated due to limited space. However, as at least a few of us who interviewed are seeing, the invite came to us without a decision. I’m usually cautious in my optimism, but would they really send out an invite to people who interviewed to come tour their campus, especially those who are out of state, if they weren’t seriously considering them for acceptance? I wish I had more information as that would help inform my decision whether I choose to go or not.
if anyone got an II in November, what date was it scheduled for?

2°: 26 | II: 3 | A: 2
Fantastic interview experience. I was particularly nervous as it was my first ever - everyone was welcoming and truly wanted to hold meaningful conversations. The group interview was equally enjoyable! I am biased to how awesome you are 😉
Best of luck everyone!

Do you feel like the interview ended abruptly?
Yeah, other schools had a debrief or time for questions but CMU was "thanks, off ya go." Not good or bad imo, just different.
Mine did too. Perhaps it was so they could group all of the other interview sessions that day together in one big Q&A sesh. Personally, I didn't mind the abrupt ending and I didn't have further questions but I can see how others may have felt the lack of debrief was abrupt.
does anyone have any insight as to when they think the next wave will come out?

People who have gotten IIs recently, did you post an update letter?
Is that an all applicants email or i should feel there is hope? When is the November/December Interview if anyone got?
"Thank you for your continued interest in the Central Michigan University College of Medicine. We are currenly in the process of reviewing all secondary applications. While the review process continues, we did want to let you know, that your application is still under consideration."

I didn’t get this email because I’ve interviewed, but I know they extend interview invites all the way into March, so I wouldn’t lose hope!

Is there an accepted students chat yet?
Is anyone going to the in-person open house this weekend?
Interviewed 10/6 and still waiting to hear back. Will be attending in-person open house this weekend.
Are you IS or OOS?

Also interviewed 10/6 still waiting to hear back also going to open house this weekend, IS
They had a pretty good number of offers to WL last year starting in April when people with multiple acceptances had to narrow down their lists.
Just to add more stats
Also interviewed 11/10 and waitlisted.
Also interviewed 11/10 and waitlisted.
Out of state
Digging through past threads, it seems that if you do not hear back within 6-8 weeks of your interview, you are likely to receive a rejection in mid to late April :/
