Based on last years threads, people who interviewed in November continued to get accepted throughout the cycle. Can’t find any earlier interviews per se but could happen. Beyond that, looks like they had to wait till the end of April to either get an R or WL, then a lot of people got off the WL in May. We are in it for the long haul now.
 
Sorry if it is a dumb question... Do we need to do PREview exam for Kaiser when "Primary Application Received" email? Or we have to wait after they notify us to take the exam?

Hey! PREview is required for your application to KPSOM (including the secondary) to be considered complete. I believe everyone receives the "primary application received" email whether or not they've completed the PREview exam. All that to say -- you should complete the PREview exam and not wait for them to notify you to do so (which I'm not sure if they even do).
 
Notably, the preview exam has no more dates for this year. next available test will be march (?)

I just checked and seems no upcoming date for 2024 anymore. It seems my Kaiser application will not go through then! 😢
Is preview exam in person or can be done online?

+1 OOS II... only slot I had available was next week... so nervous! This will be my first interview. If anyone has any school-specific (but NDA-respectful) advice, I'd really appreciate it <3
This is how I prepare for all my interviews (Kaiser included):

I do a very thorough review of my application! When I do this, I like to imagine that I'm the interviewer and will be interviewing a prospective student. I pour through every single line of the primary and secondary application and challenge myself to think about the most niche questions.

On the activities section of AMCAS, you were limited to only 700 characters but surely you could've written more. Think of the interview as having unlimited characters -- in addition to what you've written about X activity, what more were you itching to write about but couldn't?

Be confident in yourself and go have fun! They're already intrigued by your application so don't try to change or be different. Be the same person whose story they found compelling in the primary and secondary.

All the best on your first interview -- I'm rooting for you!
