I got it yesterday! Didn't see it till today 🫠
You are a saint as per SDN standards.
Are you applying for MSTP or MD only?
Lmfaoooo I literally went on to comment the same thing why do they do this to us???
Hey, look on the bright side! This time the email didn’t start with “invitation” 🙂
MD only! Infinite respect to those who have what it takes for MSTP
I feel stupid but have to ask what this means lol I'm sorry
Were you able to see available interview dates?
I'm not... is anyone else able to?
i was able to couple hours ago?
It is normal for people here to check their emails at least once for every 30 mins while they are awake. For 24 hours, you didn't check your email during these times. What do you do? Just meditate for IIs to manifest?
See their page with specific details here: The Interview: What to Expect - Medical Student Admissions
Thank you!
It was very reminiscent of a Casper-style setup; a couple of scenario-based questions for which you get time to ponder and then a couple of minutes to respond. The Kira website also has 3-4 orientation/practice questions so you get a pretty straightforward idea of what the process is, looks like, feels like, etc. N=1 it was very chill and took about 20-25 minutes.
Were you able to schedule your interview? If so, how?
Yes I was! I just had to wait like 3 days and then dates appeared in the portal
See above; I broke down the Kira interview a few days ago. Pretty chill, tbh
it took like 3 days for dates to appear for me so I would say just wait and you can reach out to them next week if you still don't see dates
Hi, same thing happened to me. Turnaround was 11 days for me (submitted Aug 8, complete Aug 19). I believe it is a manual process where they check your LOR but dont quote me on that
yea i heard something similar, like they manually check off LOR. anyway eh its fine, I don't think WashU is as anal as schools like NYU about submission at this time
It was largely similar to Casper-style. Any interview prep in that vein is fine. It was not a big deal, but comes down to some degree to how comfortable you are with responding to that style of question. Having taken Casper a few months ago I didn't do any special prep for this one; went fine
What do you mean by schools like NYU and submission? Like NYU cares about how soon you submitted secondaries after you received the application?
NYU sent over a third of their interviews in one single wave in July, so early submission very much matters for them. Some schools care a LOT about early submission.
unrelated but every time i see your posts on SDN you have even more interviews! absolutely cooking, dude -- congrats!
No. They meant the early complete date has huge advantage. Not the duration between receiving date and submission date of your secondary.
I appreciate the kind words! 🫶
Any insights on what other schools have a particular emphasis on this? I know early is generally better but I wasn't really aware that there were certain schools where it has a particularly huge advantage
Me... have been waiting for my workplace to get back to me, but now I don't see any available dates T^T
