This emoji bug on reposts is annoying!

@TheHelper74 if you are using the Tapatalk app for SDN posting, try deleting the app and re-installing it.

If that still doesn't help, try responding to a comment without "quoting" it.
You can address your comment to a specific SDM member by putting the @ symbol before their username, no space after the @

I’m really sorry to hear that. I know how uncertain the waiting can be, and totally understand the anxiety.

I would argue that there is still plenty of reason to have hope! We just hit the halfway point in the cycle.

However, if it would help, I would be happy to talk over your app with you in DMs.

 

[Mr. Macrophage]

You’re collecting interview invites like Thanos collected Infinity Stones. What’s your secret?

I have no idea 💀

 

[TheDeadrok]

Let everyone know that Dr. Hagermann is a funny dude

 

[Gurububus]

Let everyone know that Dr. Hagermann is a funny

I was just telling my wife how funny he was

 

[thunderlight8]

I have no idea 💀

bro cured cancer and raised 10 billion dollars for the homeless

 

[NemoNero]

What kinds of questions should I prepare for Kira? Ethical, MMI, situational, traditional stuff like “tell me about yourself? I feel like I’m going in blind

 

[kttm]

[thunderlight8]

@thunderlight8 It should be in the same confirmation email you got after you scheduled your interview! Both the student session + dean session.


Quick question: when did/where did you get information about the interviewers for your interview day + times of your interviews?

Found it, thank you!

I got mine early morning (around 7am central) the day before the interview

For those who interviewed already, how did the Kira portion go? what was the format?

 

[TheDeadrok]

it was cars basically, except with more medicine focused questions

 

[deleted1198104]

Any idea what is the yield of this school?

 

[deleted1200309]

Any idea what is the yield of this school?

They have a video on their YouTube channel “state of medical school” or something like that. It’s somewhere around 33 percent or something

 

[deleted1200309]

For those who interviewed already, how did the Kira portion go? what was the format?

Very easy with practice included to get you warm. Format is Casper like but not as weird feeling.

 

[gradientfactor]

If I have my interview on Tuesday, do I attend the deans welcome the week prior or attend it on the same day?

I attended same day

For anyone who did the kira portion: is it basically just ethical scenarios? or not necessarily ethical but like conflict resolution and all the other casper stuff. this is my only interview and i really dont wanna mess this up.

When do we hear back after interviews?

 

[TheDeadrok]

When do we hear back after interviews?

They mentioned the first day was like mid December? I have it written down but I don’t have the date on me rn. Then there is a date each month after that when they will release decisions

 

[deleted1200309]

When do we hear back after interviews?

As early as week of Christmas and as late as 3/6/25 is what I remember from Deans Welcome

 

[deleted1180326]

When do we hear back after interviews?

according to the deans welcome, decision dates are 12/19, 1/16 (MSTP focused), 2/13, 3/6

 

[fellow_applicant]

Does anyone know if attending the Dean's Greeting was mandatory? I unfortunately could not attend due to an emergency.

 

[deleted1180326]

I attended the Dean's Greeting on 10/22 for MD interviewees, the decision dates on the slideshow were 12/23, 1/20, 2/17, and 3/20.

LOL ig we were all told dif. these might be more correct and updated perhaps, as I was told in Sept

 

[TheDeadrok]

Just checked my notes and this is what I have as well

[thundershock2513]

Is the Dean's session the same for both days? I only need to go to one right

 

[youmatter:)]

I just logged on and saw there are no interview dates. Has anyone been able to register today, or did they fill up already?

 

[BigtimeFoodie]

Yeah. I think Dr. Hagemann said if you don't get accepted during any of the four waves, you just get waitlisted in March.

So there aren’t Post-II rejections?

 

[flowfish]

yes they are the same both days and you only need to go to one

 

[flowfish]

when i got the invite back in August it took several days for the portal to update with dates so just keep checking back

 

[dbz_gohan]

I'm probably missing it because I'm blind but does anyone know where to find the interview day schedule? I've got my interview times sent to me but other than that and the Dean's Welcome I'm not seeing anything? Is that normal?

 

[deleted1085576]

According to MSAR, it seems that WashU interviews more than 1/4 of their applicants? Is this still true/does anyone who has attended an interview know if they are still interviewing this percentage of applicants?

This has been the case for many years, so I imagine it is still the case this year!

WashU is famous for interviewing nearly everyone with a high MCAT score. It’s also why they have a low post-interview acceptance rate.
