How are my fellow DR applicants doing interview wise

How are my fellow DR applicants doing interview wise

3 DR invites, 1 prelim

 

[sunshinefl]

2:30am update: just went through IM Excel sheet and marked dates of programs that had sent interviews out onto my own personal excel file. If it is accurate, or even approximately accurate, only 54% of my programs have even sent out any invites at all. So between that and my Level 2 CE score release on Monday, I will try to hold on to some hope.

I’m telling ya, when your Lv2 goes out you can bet you’ll get invites.

How are my fellow DR applicants doing interview wise

1 DR ii from home program. Step 1 230-235 Step 2 260-265. Am I screwed? Debating adding more programs, IDK if it would be worth it at this point

I’m telling ya, when your Lv2 goes out you can bet you’ll get invites.

I've been wondering something about that: When our L2 scores are released next week, do programs automatically see them or do we need to send an email to the PCs to inform them? I also hope to have my 3rd LOR soon and if I submit it should I notify the PCs about that or do they see them?

I have a strange feeling today is going to be a very quiet interview day across the board, even if ERAS is closed this weekend.

I could honestly use a couple days away from ERAS and the spreadsheets. The anxiety is real

Be real nice to get 1-2 today and then relax for a couple days. A completely quiet day heading into the weekend is not anxiolytic haha

 

[Oligodinero]

Just because ERAS will be down doesn't mean you can't get an invite via another scheduling service. I got one through interview broker yesterday. Keep an eye on your emails, folks.

Still cool because I’ll have football on Sunday to distract me all day. Will keep my phone on just in case

3 DR 2 prelim 0 TY. Hopefully next week picks up

A lot of DR programs have yet to begin sending out their first wave of invites. As long as you applied to a mix of academic programs and community programs, I wouldn't stress about it just yet. I have no doubt interviews will continue to trickle in here and there over the next 3-4 weeks.

 

[KarlFranz]

Sitting on 5 interviews and just hoping next week brings at least another 5.

Ya it might slow over the weekend but most programs (I think) have at least downloaded their apps by now. They don’t need ERAS after that download unless they send IIs through ERAS as well. Idk about ya’ll but I’ve had most of my communication through 3rd party/direct email.

I've literally had maybe 20% of all communication through ERAS, almost everything has been direct email or 3rd party. Was not expecting that at all haha so now I'm just constantly refreshing email because stupid iphone doesn't always notify me of new messages

 

[DefinitelyNotMatt]

Just did the duet and snapshot for casper. About to do the casper suite test shortly. God help me lol

[LatteColoredDO]

[PathoMD]

DR/IR applicant: 7 DR, 1 IR, 1 prelim

Can anyone explain what Casper/Duet is?

 

[Matthew9Thirtyfive]

In a nut shell. Theres 3 exams in the Casper Suite for GME. Casper which gives you 12 scenarios in which you have 5 minutes to write out a response to 3 questions. Basically what would you do scenarios. Snapshot is you being asked 3 interview style questions while being recorded. 2 minutes to answer each question. Duet has you pick between 2 characteristics that are more important to you about 135 times. Whole process takes about 2 hours to finish.

y tho

 

[veebo]

Gearing up to be a really dull day thus far. I need some dopamine and serotonin hits pls.

 

[LatteColoredDO]

Yeah this the Creighton University program satellite site in Phoenix. And then Abrazo is a community health program.

My soul dies a little when people say it’s a slow day, but it’s been slow every day for you 🙂

Does anyone know how long it takes to hear back from IM programs? I am a DO student. I have good scores but still have yet to hear back.

Thank you!

Either the ones you applied to havent sent invites out yet or you missed their first wave. Either way just wait for next week. After that if you have no invites I would start reaching out ASAP.

Another question, on the ERAS app that asked, was your education extended, I answered YES since I did a year long research fellowship. Do you guys think I may be getting screened out???????

Thank you

No you are not getting screened out. Thats just a prompt to give applicants an opportunity to address any date inconsistencies.

Definitely recommend if you need a distraction from refreshing email haha. Takes a game or two to figure out but it's fun.

This is what happens when Step 1 goes P/F and programs desperate for metrics and wanting early change begin experimenting with some crap
