2023-2024 Morehouse

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
When are we going to receive the official acceptance letter, and do you guys know if it will be emailed to us or on our portal? I received the acceptance call earlier today.

Just curious when did they tell yall to expect to hear back? Quick turn around for you luckily!! Congrats
They didn’t mention on my date, but I was expecting to hear back around Thanksgiving. I’m very surprised with the turnaround.

So, I called the office to see whether or not they take people off the waitlist before next year in March/ April and she assured me they do but after researching the forums from previous years.. That wasn't the case. Am I tripping? Or was she just saying that to prevent me from worrying too much about it?

That’s encouraging!! I thought I remember them saying at the end of the interview day that they review wait list apps with new interview apps but wasn’t sure if I was making it up since I was placed on the AL. We also, have to remember not everyone who applies uses or engages in SDN.

Fair, but do you really think the probability is that low? Lol

I mean 200 on the waitlist and 100 get offered. I don’t even think 10 people on the waitlist that was on SDN last year the entire time indicated they got offered. So I think so. However, just trying to stay positive.

Appeal to school-specific thread: Morehouse SOM recommended PREview for the 2023-2024 cycle.

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!
