Has anyone invited for PSTP interview gotten an email about scheduling? I still haven't gotten it...
 
OOS II omg cannot believe it.

Also, does any know what they mean by "extenuating circumstances" when talking about possibly rescheduling the interview? the date that was offered conflicts with another interview i have and do not want to give up either since they are both my top choices. 🙁

When did you submit? Also, I think someone earlier in the thread mentioned that AdCom was not accommodating conflicting interviews.

tread lightly, someone earlier this year who asked to move their interview to a different day was told, "no"

when were you complete🙂 congrats!
 
Has anyone gotten an email about registering for the Zoom info session that'll happen before the actual interview? I haven't gotten it...
 
Have my PSTP interview in a few weeks and I starting to get nervous. Worried they're going to rip my research apart. Hoping it's just a conversation of finding out why i want to become a physician scientist.

be proud and happy to talk about your research and how much it means to you and your future ambitions/goals. It's really a core tenet of who you are so don't feel stressed!
 
Can anyone who has interviewed here speak on the atmosphere of the MMIs + one on one?
 
I thought everyone was extremely friendly, particularly the one on one that was just a chill conversation. The MMIs are MMIs in the sense that you don't feel amazing after (or I didn't, but I hope that's normal!) but they make it clear that they are doing it for the best interest of us/to limit bias. Did not get bad vibes from anyone and thought they were truly trying to help me get to a well-rounded answer if that makes sense.

I agree. I think it went well, but I'm not a fan of the MMI format (this was my first MMI). Traditional interview felt nice.

Yep, super interesting. The topics were genuinely cool and higher-order iykyk lmaoo. I think my responses were concise ~2 min, then follow-up qs till the end of time. And most of my ppl were super helpful, and I think agreed with how I chose to respond. Trad interview all smiles and my guy wasn't that conversational but he was glazing rip lmaoo. I am def sending my update letter this week.
