Hi. I was wondering what are the chances of an II with a 501 MCAT and 3.75 gpa. Strong ties to the area and mission. Haven’t heard anything. Should I send an update letter? This is my number 1 school. Any advice is so greatly appreciated. I know it’s an uphill battle with my score.
501 is pretty low for MD schools if im honest. But shooters shoot. I think send an update letter
 
When did interviewees receive their interview day information? I'm interviewing on Wednesday and was wondering when I should expect to hear!

Two weeks????? I interviewed early September I don't want to wait any longer 😭
Take what I say with a grain of salt please lol! There were a few mix ups on my interview day so it’s possibly not correct. I just know they said we COULD hear back in two weeks or early December.
 
In the same boat and wondering the same... I'm afraid my Casper is going to be the final nail in my coffin (1st Q, but 8/9 on preview, make it make sense). stay strong 🫂
Okay. CASPer asks for what you would actually do in that situation. PREview asks you to assess a situation, which is completely irrelevant from how you would respond in such a situation. Make sense? 🤣

Jokes aside, that and the format (free response vs multiple choice) makes a ton of difference. That's why I'm convinced whoever created PREview was a narcissist who felt they were one upped by the CASPer test and just had to create something just as good and release it ASAP rather than thinking it through to soothe their bruised ego but failed miserably. I cannot think of any other reason anyone would think the PREview test was a good idea.

That theory isn't far-fetched after you watch this video and it makes perfect sense how a narcissist ended up being in a high enough position at the AAMC that no one dared to question their idea with the PREview test.



Edit: I forgot about the $100 registration fee. That makes even more sense.

Does temple always send their IIs in the middle of the night (haven’t received one yet which sucks as they’re my top choice and I’m local)

My guess for September interviews is we’ll hear back tomorrow/tonight at midnight. Thoughts?
I interviewed on 10/22 and they said we should hear back "mid-November." Bc of that wording I am thinking it might be later in the month? Would be so happy if we heard tonight or tomorrow though!!!

interviewing today, they said november decisions are planned to come out next week! Hope that gives some people relief on what to expect!
did they say yours are part of the decisions? I interviewed yesterday and they never mentioned the timeline for us

No they told us we would be part of the december wave of decisions, which they said would be around the 3rd week of December before the holidays
 
Interviewed 10/28. They said our decisions could be either November or December based on our interviewer evaluations.
 
The past few years, first As have been sent out on Tuesdays at midnight. Either this week (tonight) or next week, from the looks of previous comments

The longer they edge us the more we will cherish the A. It’s a strategy they use to lure in the best applicants.
