hello, did they address your stats or any grades during interviews?
 
Put on hold post-interview :( I'm in state too.

What does this exactly mean? Would I be on a waitlist?
 
I'm pretty sure they do that with the majority of people. I was put on hold post-II last year and while I eventually got an R, I know a lot of people went from hold to A. I think it just means they're still thinking about you/you're still under consideration, they just haven't made a final decision yet.

Honestly not sure. Completed Semptember 7th and have also heard nothing back. Last year I got an II about a month and a half after submitting so I wouldn't be surprised if we hear back very soon.
 
IS II about 30 mins ago! Complete 9/14!

This is an appeal to applicants who have taken Casper for admission to East Tennessee State University SOM.

Complete the 2023 Situational Judgment Test Experience survey.

HPSA/SDN has the 2023 SJT Experience Survey available to anyone preparing for SJTs (especially Casper and PREview). If you completed the 2022 survey, you are welcome to go ahead and complete the survey again. This survey consists of multiple pages and will take up to 10 minutes. You can also place yourself on a waitlist for a study focusing more on school-run SJTs run through platforms like Kira Talent, to be released later in the year.

Your feedback matters!
We learned a lot about how applicants prepared for Casper and PREview last year, but the number of PREview schools has almost doubled this cycle! Over 20% of all AMCAS applicants will likely have taken PREview, and up to 90% of all medical school applicants will likely have taken Casper this cycle (according to Acuity Insights). This does not include applicants in non-medical professions who have had to take these assessments for admission to physician assistant, anesthesiology assistant, dental, veterinary, pharmacy, or physical therapy programs, where we see a trend that applicants with higher Casper results are preferred. Medical residency applicants are also being asked to complete Acuity Insights Assessments, and very little is known about how program directors use these data. Your responses are vital to get objective insights on how admissions committees value the results of these exams.

Your feedback matters!
We want to hear from as many people as possible, especially those attending or applying outside of medicine (MD/DO). This year saw an expansion of SJTs in admissions, and more information has been made available on preparing for these assessments. We want to stay current with these trends to guide future applicants and students facing these SJTs.

Many of our findings from the 2022 survey align with the NAAHP Testing Task Force report released last summer. This includes concerns about proctoring, consistency of scoring, and concern that applicants are paying for validity research. But we need more student voices to gain a louder voice to advocate for future health professional school applicants.

Your feedback has helped HPSA develop a workshop focused on preparing for SJTs like Casper and PREview. This workshop is part of our Becoming a Student Doctor preparation course, and we have already had some positive results among those who have participated in our mock interview workshops. An updated workshop will be presented at the UC Davis Prehealth Conference on October 14, and we welcome opportunities to present the full-length SJT workshop to your campus!

Fill out this survey and help future applicants become physicians in their chosen profession!
 
Can anyone who has had an interview share their experience? What type of questions were asked? How was your experience and takeaways?

It was highly relaxed and they are truly trying to just to get to know you better. First interview goes by quick, but the second is truly a conversation where you ask questions and also get a few questions asked. There is no script for the second.

The interview was super chill. They asked 5 very stereotypical interview questions for the structured interview and the unstructured interview was a conversation to get to know you better. I loved my experience!

For those of us placed on active hold yesterday, do we wait until the next committee meeting to potentially receive an update/decision?

Why don't you just ask ETSU?

Do they accept or look at letters of interest pre II?

You get 2 pre-planned excused days a semester with an additional 1 excused day per month. No rollovers, you have to use them each month/semester. The total excused days off is about 7 per semester.

Attendance is strictly mandatory
