2024-2025 list of schools and their SJTs

[Mr.Smile12]

Updated July 2, 2024 (page updated June 11) on The AAMC PREview® Professional Readiness Exam Participating Medical Schools and MSAR reports

Look at the 2023 list to see if your school(s) wanted you to take an SJT.

1. PREview scores are automatically released to AMCAS. Examinees do not need to take additional steps to include their PREview score in their AMCAS applications.
2. Applicants applying to schools that do not use AMCAS will have an opportunity at the end of the exam to select the schools to receive their score reports.
3. Some schools will use PREview scores early in their initial review of applications while others may use the scores later when reviewing secondary applications. Please contact the school to confirm the ideal timing of PREview score submission.
4. Non-participating schools do not have access to PREview scores until all admissions decisions are complete.

What schools require Casper? And if I reapply next cycle should I plan to retake both Casper and preview again. My scores are from later in the cycle August-October. Thoughts?

What schools require Casper? And if I reapply next cycle should I plan to retake both Casper and preview again. My scores are from later in the cycle August-October. Thoughts?

With only 9 schools requiring Preview it should be pretty easy to leave those off your list.
I haven’t seen an updated CASPer list yet but most of the TMDSAS schools require it, so if using TMDSAS you will need to retake it.

 

[Mr.Smile12]

Casper scores are only valid for the application calendar year in which they are taken. You will have to retake your Casper exam for the upcoming cycle.

PREview is designed to be valid for more than one cycle. If you had 7+, I would not recommend retaking it.

Kira Talent Recorded Video Interview Programs (MSAR reports)

1. UC Irvine (for those invited to interview)
2. Washington University St. Louis ("Standardized Video Interview", but previous cycle suggests it was a Kira Talent platform)

Other assessments

3. BC University of British Columbia (Non-Academic Qualities Assessment)

 

[Mr.Smile12]

Bump.

30 schools are added to the PREview website as "Research only." As far as I know, this means they can access your PREview scores during the application cycle as opposed to the end of the cycle (which is what every AMCAS school could do regardless of desire to use PREview). Please confirm with the admissions teams at the schools if they receive your PREview scoring history during the cycle or at the end if they are using PREview for "research."

 

[Mr.Smile12]

Bump to revise the Casper list.

Submitting PREview scores to participating schools (from PREview website)​

To help students taking the PREview exam and submitting their scores to participating schools:

1. PREview scores are automatically released to AMCAS. Examinees do not need to take additional steps to include their PREview score in their AMCAS applications.
2. Applicants applying to schools that do not use AMCAS will have an opportunity at the end of the exam to select the schools to receive their score reports. NOTE: Those applying to TMDSAS or AACOMAS should select the appropriate schools listed to deliver results.

 

[Mr.Smile12]

To moderators setting up new Current Applicant Threads for 2025 entering classes: please use these listings in your program profiles, noting things may be updated here through June as final information is published on the use of SJTs in the cycle.

Suggest adding:
Casper required (Y/N)
PREview (required [for interview], recommended, or research), send scores directly to TMDSAS or AACOMAS programs
Recorded video interview (Kira Talent, SVI)
Interview format (from past cycles): traditional, panel (more evaluators than applicants), group (more applicants than evaluators), MMI, other required activity (like on-site essay writing)

Consider including in WAMC templates
SJT (Casper/PREview) score

[Mr.Smile12]

At this point, it appears all the lists are "locked" for the cycle. If a school is giving a different impression regarding their use of SJT's, please let us know and note it in the school-specific threads.

We are looking for programs that are using recorded video interviews as part of their application process, so please note them in the school-specific threads, but let me know.

According to our Recorded Video Interview survey, applicants with 5 or more interview invitations will interact with a median of 6 different online or in-person interview formats. Prepare accordingly.
