ties and stats?

My ties are more minimal. I have a few family members who live in Lexington and have therefore visited the state several times, but otherwise no other ties. LM 61.5. First Gen, low SES, very non-traditional student. I have well over 10,000 clinical hours, over 1,000 volunteer hours, and I would like to think I'm a good mission fit.

I was complete 7/21, for those wondering!
 
For those currently here and those to come, I am a current student at ULSOM and am happy to answer any questions that you may have!

I had my interview in September and it was all virtual.

They started with introduction and icebreakers, going over what to expect out of the interviews. Then they paired groups of us with an M2 to talk about UofL from the perspective of the medical students. The interviews were next and were set for a 2 hour block. There are two interviews, each 30 minutes. Make sure to have your "tell me about yourself" locked and loaded, but the rest of the interview qs were pretty standard. You also get two 30 minute breaks during the interview block. The last portion was just a review of the med school curriculum.

Interviewed in August. The 4th of this month means you've probably got a couple of weeks before they let you know your decision.

Sure enough, as @aightmanokay had mentioned, no decision on me yet! Just got the email saying further updates will come out on Wednesdays after committee meetings. I'll keep my fingers crossed

Congratulations to all of you awesome folks with As!

Some more decisions will be rolling out tomorrow, right? Likely the early October interviews?

Oh, is there a committee meeting today? Are the dates for those listed somewhere?

The dates are not listed but they said they meet every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month, with decisions to come out the Wednesday's following. The first set of decisions went out on a Monday because that was the earliest date it was possible for medical schools to release them.

Appeal to school-specific thread: University of Louisville SOM recommended PREview 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!
 
Does anyone know the approximate post-interview acceptance rate?
