Is anyone's casper or transcripts marked as completed?
Click to expand...
nope, i spoke to them on the phone and they said they are having issues with it, they said casper scores should be completed and received by end of this week to early next week. As for transcripts, it is not even there anymore for me on the application portal under status. Anyone else?

I figured this was a glitch. And I figured hundreds, if not thousands have contacted them so I left the issue be.

Hi y'all m1 here. Not sure I have any advice to give as we've only been going for three weeks but if you have any questions about the application or like what the schedule is, let me know.

I like it. More than I thought I would tbh. The staff are like outrageously kind (although it has only been 3 weeks). The actual school itself is really nice. Once your out of the immediate area it can be a bit sketchy but that's just most of Riverside for you. It's like attached to ARMC, so that'll be good for some rotations in clinicals.

Hi friends! Ever since being accepted here at cusm it's been a priority of mine to give back to future generations of upcoming physicians, aka you guys. So after 3 years of this I'm now an M4 and happy to answer any questions you guys may have! Also happy to read over any secondary drafts if you're looking for someone to provide constructive criticisms/critiques. Good luck to you all and may this be the cycle you get that coveted A!
 
Hey everyone current M1 @ CUSM. I’d be happy to look over secondaries too if you’d like. Also here to answer any other questions you may have - CUSM or otherwise.
 
+1 IS secondary! I submitted my primary on first day too, so this one took a hot minute for sure

Probably because their secondary portal was glitchy and they needed to fix it before sending more secondaries. They sent secondary invites twice to applicants, had a transcript requirement even though that doesn't come until you plan to matriculate to their school, and took a while for CASPer to be marked as complete. That's probably why they haven't sent IIs and it looks like they're back in business.

As soon as I got the secondary invite today, I got another email saying their secondary portal is down. I guess the issues have not been resolved.
 
Do they have only a certain number of letters of recs they take, like no more than 3 or is it 3-6?
 
Hey everybody I'm a current M1 here and just wanted to let y'all know that and my secondary invite on 8/10, my interview invite on 12/1, my WL on 3/29, and my A off the waitlist on 5/30, so just because it might take a while do not lose hope! Also if anyone has any questions they think I might be able to answer let me know. Good luck everybody!
 
Wow! Congratulations! I have heard similar stories from a lot of folks, it seems their cycle goes later than most. One of my friends actually got accepted off the CUSM waitlist in June while attending another medical school that started early and dropped everything for CUSM which is crazy! Fingers crossed for all of us!
 
Just received an email inviting me to take their interview assessment. Is this a pre-interview step?

Edit: I believe this is the actual interview! Website states: "Interview Day – The virtual interview process will include a video assessment in which applicants will be asked a series of pre-recorded questions to respond to in a set amount of time. This assessment should only take 30-60 minutes to complete and can be done in your own time."

Did anyone receive the actual link to the assessment? Should I email them? Since we only have 1 week to complete it…

I didn't receive the link either. I emailed admissions twice and they finally sent it to me.
