Do you know how long it took to hear back? I really wanted to stay in state (sick dad) and MSU is the only school I’ve heard back from. Super sad about being on the waitlist.

My buddy heard back April-May ish. I don’t know if they take off the waitlist throughout the cycle or not like Wayne does. Surprised you didn’t hear anything from Wayne though
 
Is the post interview day student panel invite sent to everyone? Or just those waitlisted?
 
If waitlisted, when is the best idea to send out the letter of intent and how would you guys suggest going about it? I also plan on getting an additional letter of rec but im not exactly sure if i should get one or two.. any advice?

Does anyone have any opinion on if this post-interview student panel day would make a difference for people that are waitlisted?

It won’t hurt. Shows that you’re still committed to the program. I would recommend bringing some good questions about the program and maybe waitlist questions too.

They said today in their session that they typically do not take students off the waitlist prior to April 30th despite working on a rolling admissions timeline.

The way I understood was that they probably make an internal decision on a rolling basis but notification isn’t made until April 30th or later

Hey guys. Very likely too late but any thoughts on adding MSU at this stage in the process? Hadn't considered it prior to meeting an M2 there who highly recommended it. LM 68.5
 
My interview is 11/16, does anyone think I'll get a decision before Christmas? Do they stop their admissions process like between Thanksgiving-christmas? it seems like everyone has a different timeline
 
I feel like people get answers in 2 weeks after 10/15. But not a one size fits all

Even tho you see alot of people getting their A's its def not too late.. I didn't submit my secondary until 10/02/22 .. II in January, interviewed in February.. referred to ABLE around April!
Click to expand...
were you on the waitlist before being referred to ABLE? or do people get referred to ABLE or get waitlisted or rejected?
 
spartychm28 said:
I was directly referred to ABLE after my interview - no waitlist. then you go through a process of getting accepted into ABLE.

After your interview there are 4 potential outcomes:
1. Accepted
2. Waitlist
3. Referred to ABLE
4. Rejection

dang, I'm on the waitlist but would be fine with ABLE at this point LOL. I really want to go here.

totally get that its an awesome school and a great program!
dont quote me but I think - could be wrong - the only time they would pull off the waitlist is if there are free seats in the program.. typically only around 9-10 seats tho!

I wish you luck! hopefully you get pulled off that list and make it to CHM!!

Any idea of how many waitlist spots there are?

Appeal to school-specific thread: Michigan State University required an SJT for the 2023-2024 cycle.

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!
 
Got the A call last night! Over the moon happy! LM 70, IS, interviewed 10/25!!!

sorry are you saying there are 9-10 seats for ABLE or 9-10 seats get pulled from the waitlist/alternate list?
