for those that interviewed, how were y'alls experience? was the MMI circuit stressful? Also when clicking those links in the portal, does it go straight to zoom or is it some video program in the portal?
MMI circuit was very layed back, only one or two challenging rooms IMO! They will give you instructions on interview day, but you just click the first link and then it will be an automated program with built-in Zoom rooms. Don't stress over it 🙂

OOS II submitted 7/14!!!!
Current ZSOM M1 here. Very happy with everything so far and happy to chat about it.
This is an appeal to applicants who have taken Casper for admission to Zucker/Hofstra 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!

Congrats! How did it go? I have mine tomorrow. Anything that caught you off guard? This is my first MMI so not really sure what to expect. Thanks!!

I found it very similar to Casper! There are 9 stations total. Most of the scenarios were medical. A couple were about how you would handle certain aspects of being a med student. In 7 of them, you get 2 minutes to read the scenario and 6 minutes to discuss with your interviewer. I had a lot of tech issues with their system pso Ilst a few minutes at each station and I still felt ok.
One station is a 15 minute “traditional” interview where the interviewer has read your application. That threw me off a bit because I wasn’t expecting it and it also felt pretty rushed! But my interviewer was very friendly.
The last station is a rest station. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.p

does anyone know if they're still sending II? or are they pretty much done?
They are still sending them. Someone literally got one on Friday. Send your updates and stay hopeful for the next 2 to 3 months.
