Definitely! It's still early in interview season. I think they're just now starting to break into apps that got completed in August, so at this point it's just a waiting game.

Any other in-state applicants complete mid-August heard nothing? I have an in-state friend who was complete later than me last year and already had an II at this point. I know her stats and experiences were also weaker than mine (hard to compare experiences I know). I am starting to wonder if there is a massive red flag in my app...

Also in state and got an II in September. Submitted 8/20. I have some friends who have not gotten interviews yet. Once your stats are high, slight differences do not matter as much (especially for UVM). And you're right experiences are hard to compare, what is most important is how you have used those experiences to positively impact your community. They can tell if you are just doing things to list it on your application. there is so much more to med school applications than stats and experiences. They are looking to get to know you as a person and see if they think you would be a good fit for the field. Best of luck!

This is an appeal to applicants who have taken Casper for admission to University of Vermont 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!
 
Any word about anything recently? Seems like no one has heard pretty much anything in a weeks or so.

I’m IS too and it took 2.5 months for me to get an II. I wouldn’t worry too much yet, most IS applicants get interviews!
 
Congrats to everyone who has received a II so far. Just to give anyone who happens upon this thread some insight and hope. I am OOS and received my II mid December and Interviewed in Early January. I received a DD Mid February and had radio silence until the first week of May when I was placed on the Waitlist. Letter of Continued Interest was sent at the very end of May and I received the A on the 06/01 (the day after i sent a re-app and dropped $2k which thank God I got refunded). Several of my classmates were also accepted between mid june and mid july so if you see this post in like 7 months and are on the WL just know there is still a chance. UVM LCOM is relatively late at response from what I have seen (especially for OOS) but its a great school and could not be happier! Good luck to everyone with the rest of their app cycle!
 
I interviewed 11/1 and they told us end of nov/beginning of dec but after seeing that October people are still waiting, it seems like it might be a bit while longer.

A friend of mine interviewed 11/14 and he was told they’d hear back in January 💀
 
Can anyone who interviewed share how their overall experience was? And do we get more info about the structure of the MMI before the interview? This will be my first MMI so I’m very nervous😬
