It stands for LizzyM score, I am not super familiar with how it is calculated, but it takes into consideration your MCAT score and GPA. If you go to the "Calculators" tab, there is a link to generate your own score as well as an explanation of how the score is calculated, what it means, and how you can use it. The gist being that a higher LM score indicates a greater chance of being accepted into a medical school program post-II. It just a more cumulative way of representing your stats.
There are 9 rooms that you spend 6 min each with 1 min of transition time then another min to read the next prompt. 9x8=72 min. You will be assigned to start at either 12pm or 1:30pm.

I am preparing for interview. So the interviews are MMI style starting 12 pm or 1:30 pm online in each room one person one evaluator, no traditional 1:1 interview, no group activity, right? Total time 9x8=72 min
You will also need to log on in the morning to hear all the information presentations
Yeah that's right. There are also 3 hours of presentations before hand and a student panel afterwards. No traditional interviews or group activity. There's only one evaluator per room.

IS II today! Great start to the day 🙂
Is there anybody knowing the question samples for MMI in El Paso? I am very nervous. I just want to end the suffer. I looked through the google but it seems like they are pre-COVID on-campus interview.
The point of an MMI is to think and speak spontaneously.
If you have done CASPer you know how to do an MMI- it might be more natural because there is someone listening to you
IS II 7/29/24. Submitted 7/23

+1 IS II 8/2/24. Complete 7/20
Also one question about hair style. I am a boy and have not very long hair (no beard). if I well plait my hair and keep it tidy, will this nowadays be a problem>
I know nowadays LGBTQ are popular (I just have long hair, not LGBTQ though)

What is LGBTQ hair? I don’t think your hairstyle will cause any problems as long as it doesn’t look like you just woke up
I ended up with an interview with this school and I mainly focused on just one aspect of the question which was protecting the dignity of patients.

Some questions:
Can I take notes during interview?
Do they have a timer when I can look in MMI room?

They never said you can’t take notes and you’re not on camera so you could I guess. You have 1 minute to read the prompt and 6 min to answer
Campus tour next week, any tips, anything I need to pay attention to?
Did you reach out for a campus tour? Or was there an email they sent out?

they sent an email to all to applicants who had already interviewed
How long after your interview did they send an email?
D
deleted1085576
around 6pm on interview day
Mine was sent 5 days after
Mine is 7 days after, maybe they send email according to the internal ranking for pre-match?(This is why they invite to allure candidates to them) Oatmeal looks like the best guy with 525/4.0

Well I’ll get mine in 3 weeks cause my stats ain’t close to that
I think they send out interview based on LM. By now you should hear something with such a high LM. I am the same 08/20 interview got email exactly on 08/27. OK don't think too much. It's what it is. Mine 72.3

I wouldn’t overthink it too much, they said at the interview day they invite all applicants to tour. maybe it just takes them longer to send out the email on some weeks vs others. Plus the tour itself likely has no bearing on admissions bc they already finish the internal rankings. Also if it helps, I feel like my interview here didn’t go too great compared to the other ones i’ve had so I’d be surprised if i’m ranked highly internally lol

Please don't read too much into the dates of these emails, guys.
I'm sure they had to line up enough tour guides or something.
Going on a campus tour is for your benefit, to see the school in case you have never been to El Paso, and to help you rank your schools.
It will not have any bearing on an admissions offer unless you are so obnoxious on your tour day that it gets back to the administration.

Should we send thank you letters? I know in the interview brief in the morning they said not too and heard people saying they’d sent spme

Hmm... I sent a broad thank you letter to the office of admissions email rather than my individual interviewers, thanking them for the opportunity to learn about the school and speak to students and faculty. I think it doesn't hurt to be polite and send something like that. They probably meant don't email your individual interviewers after the MMI
premed paranoia is a documented ailment. it usually goes away anywhere between first prematch and May 1st.
They send another campus tour invitation for 10/22 just now... Someone haven't received it should receive it right now...
Not until you have had your “1 minute to think”

Congrats! Do you mind sharing LM scores and when you were complete? Good luck on your interviews!
I was actually pretty late, submitted my primary 7/8, app complete 08/23, II on 09/09, buttt I did have really strong writing and a solid application. I'm thankful I even got considered, was expecting ghost
that's not late... Congratulations

Nothing out of left field. Pretty normal MMI. The interview day itself is pretty bad though imo. They just show you videos for three hours. They could have just sent that in an email instead of forcing me to take a whole say off from my other responsibilities!!
Part of the tradeoff for having remote interview days, I guess. Would you have watched the videos before your interview, though?

I would have for sure, especially if they had sent it before the interview. I'm interested in the school so I would want to get as much info about the school before the interview. This would be good for the school too. They would know the students that are actually interested in going to their school by who comes to the interview day prepared to ask questions that aren't already answered in the videos. I also wouldn't have to sit through some of the videos that don't interest me (I couldn't care less about their MD/MBA or MD/MPH programs). It just feels like a lazy way of doing a virtual interview. I know other schools have similar setups so I'm not trying to bash PLFSOM specifically.
thanks for replying! do you remember how many MMI stations they had? and dang they dont have anything interactive?
