Never mind, I just found out it was today.

Bunch reported on cycletrack but none here. Interesting! Congrats to everyone who got the first round!
I received the email stating my app was put into the queue for screening on 07/05. I have a service and research heavy app, a 518 MCAT, and a 4.0 post bacc - ~80 credit hours - GPA (overall 3.42). Also AFAIK and others can tell, I have no red flags.
It's been so long and it feels like I've probably been screened out but I'd be surprised based on my application.
Should I assume I have been? Keep waiting? Or should I send an email?

I would wait! I surprisingly got one with lower stats than you (MCAT 512, GPA 3.97) but I also don't know their screening process! I did not get one last year and when I emailed them they were like "just wait you're in queue" only to be rejected later on.
Maybe they had a second screening for general pre-medical neuroses that filtered out the contributors to these forums 🥴
/s (but not really)
I received a secondary invite on 8/13, the same day my primary application was considered complete because I finally had an MCAT score. Is this an auto invite?

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it! I was just surprised to receive it the same day that my application was considered complete so I figured they may have some auto invites go out for certain stats etc. Getting a screened secondary invite lets me know no big red flags in my primary app 🙂
They likely reviewed your app without an mcat score and then waited for your MCAT to complete the review
That could totally be! I appreciate your input.

I got it around 11am EST, just hadn't checked my email in a few hours (craaaazy behavior ik)
is it true they only send out like 500 interviews?
please do not attack me if I am tripping hahah I just heard someone say that!

you can check MSAR for interview data. looks like last year they sent 721
Ah, so only about 15% have went out! I hope they make a second pass on other July submitters as they give out more IIs
Is anyone else's calendar not showing any available dates when trying to schedule their interview?
See this comment 2024-2025 Vanderbilt
The calendar just isn't showing any dates. Probably just needs a day to update or something.
Submitted 8/10 and haven’t heard anything! But also LM 72 so who knows
Does vanderbilt send secondaries to all MSTP applicants?
Yes!
+1 OOS II tuesday, only interview slots available were in September, submitted 07/21

congrats! gap or no gap?
no, you are just impatient 😉
Vanderbilt will read your primary & doesn't send secondaries automatically to everyone, like some schools do.

YES, submit it -- never count yourself out. We've got this!
I think they sent an email clarifying that, I think it is some kind of like CASPER-ish thing where you get prompts and then you record your responses. (I think)

Vanderbilt sends interviews every Tuesday, and the number updates after each wave!
On the most recent Tuesday (9/17), it updated from 141 to 167.

Didn't receive an email about that clarification, I'm still confused because I don't think vanderbilt does MMIs

They do a Kira Talent assessment that is asynchronous. You submit a timed response videos to questions they give you.

Did you have anything specific you wanted to know? The interview felt pretty standard to me. The Kira talent portion is basically like the Casper text scenarios.

So was it just some ethical scenarios/questions (sorry I never took Casper)
