+1 OOS II LM 76, submitted 7/26
This is an appeal to applicants who have taken Casper for admission to Temple 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!

what email did you use? i reached out last week after my interview and did not get a respone
Anybody have any advice for the interview?
Do research on the school, know the school and their mission well and how you can tie your experiences to them. Practice practice practice, I was asked all the general questions for my closed interview, and some common q’s came up on my community interview as well (as well as some curveballs).
Also, idk if this is true for everyone, my community interview felt very stressful (but the interviewer said that we did great at the end). So know ahead of time that it’s meant to be that way and it’s not on you, so your best to control nerves and answer the questions genuinely.
+1 The community interview was the most stressful interview I've had this cycle. Easier said than done but try not to compare your answers to the other interviewees and just be yourself and reflect well on your experiences
This also varies from person to person. My community interview was very kind and welcoming, and she kept emphasizing that she wanted the best for us and was on our side - it was a really nice way to end the day for me.
OOS II. LM 70 and no ties

my interview date is 11/21- does this mean i won't hear back with the November decisions and will have to wait until January : (
Most likely, but the only way to know is by asking on your interview day.

Does anyone know if there is a difference in the timelines for acceptance for St. Luke's vs the Philly campus? Or for St. Luke's people that interviewed in the beginning of October, do you know when we are supposed to hear back?

Based on last year's thread, should be tomorrow (tonight at midnight) or on Wednesday.
