If you prepare typical behavioral interview questions and can reason your way through medical ethics questions then you should be fine! They told us the Kira part is just to test if you can think on your feet and won't really make or break your application
You get time during the interview day to do the Kira - it shouldn't take very long!
gameday
No same 😳 I applied for funsies, not expecting anything. But we made it 😍 We are proof that numbers aren't everything!
—> 247, or a little under 35% of last year’s total
They said letter of interest after interviewing is an option but does not do a great deal to your application. They also said to wait off on sending a letter of intent until the spring, closer to waitlisting. You can always add an update whenever you want.
In addition, the dean of admissions stated she will send out an email reminder in April to those who are waitlisted to remind them about submitting a letter of intent.
According to their admissions tracker it seems like no new IIs went out yesterday.
Crazy! More hope (and waiting time!) for the rest of us 🙂
50min
I think it depends. My interviewer didn't seem too interested in expanding on the current topic. We finished the questions at around 30min, but I asked some questions so it ended up being around 45min.
Here is some advice previously shared in the thread!
Ah, thanks! I was so excited I didn't even scroll up haha
congrats on your II!!
ahh congrats!! when r they scheduling for?
They had mid and late October available when I scheduled my interview. It sounds like they have filled up by now though
They are still less than halfway to the number of interviews they typically extend
You can’t gauge one school’s schedule by another’s …
I'm an MSTP applicant and the fee is waived for us so it says that for me too. I still got an email saying my app was complete. not sure if you're MSTP but that's how it is for me!
congrats! do you remember your complete date?
7/23
Don't ever assume you've been passed over until you get the notification. But probably like mid-late February?
@kobewankenobi66 second this advice! I just yesterday got an II from the first school I submitted to on July 6th. I feel like around Jan/Feb. is when you can take stock of the silence. Manifesting an II for you!!
As of November 1st, 2023 they had sent out 386 interviews. It seems like we're on a ~similar but slightly slower pace than last year since we're currently at 330. There might be some movement soon!
I think it’s likely we’re at about the same place as last year (~390). The tracker has been at 330 for over two weeks now. Vanderbilt sent a wave last Tuesday and the tracker never updated!
early evening today
complete date?
