Are applicants to complete the asynchronous interview before they receive an invite to interview with faculty?

My impression was that when you get invited to interview, you also are invited to do the asynchronous.

That's what I would have imagined, but

Both a COA faculty member and a trained 4th year (senior) medical student will review your asynchronous responses, using rubrics established by COA leadership. In this initial year of requiring asynchronous interviews, ratings from these interviews may influence our final admissions decisions, but will not impact who is invited to participate in interviews with faculty.

 

[SoccerKeeper00]

That's what I would have imagined, but

That's weird. Definitely ambiguous. But if they don't influence interview decisions, what would be the point of sending them pre-II? It would be pretty messed up if they made everyone do it, but then only looked at the ones that they decided to interview.

 

[SiberianIris]

That's what I would have imagined, but

To me it sounds like they’re going to issue IIs like normal, those people will do the asynchronous interview and the regular interviews as one thing this year, but that in the future they anticipate using the asynchronous responses as an intermediate screen between secondary and in-person interview.

[SoccerKeeper00]

They're trying to see how many of us they can get to withdrawal without having to review our apps. Lol

 

[deleted1054719]

I'm heated lol PLEASE

 

[premedguy12]

Have they released II's yet?

 

[sammyboy123]

Why does WashU keep doing this lmao

They’re trolling us hahaha

 

[deleted897300]

What goes through their mind when they do this?

 

[deleted1053887]

Perhaps they want to eliminate the weak by seeing who gets a heart attack from these emails....

 

[NaijaBoy98]

II just now! Complete 8/14

 

[mvsrocks]

II just now! Complete 8/14

For once not a spam email! Looks like WashU is starting

 

[TB12-Goat]

II, Complete 8/12 LM 79. Is the scheduling portal running slowly for anyone else?

 

[NaijaBoy98]

II, Complete 8/12 LM 79. Is the scheduling portal running slowly for anyone else?

Running super slow! And I don't see any available dates... My guess is there still like putting it up? I'll give it until tomorrow before I write an email I guess. They likely won't do anything about it until Monday

 

[jim_free]

II, Complete 8/12 LM 79. Is the scheduling portal running slowly for anyone else?

Running super slow for me right now too. Also, there are no dates, so I am confusion.

Yeah I'm wondering if they sent a bunch out at once and are getting overrun?

 

[TB12-Goat]

Update, I was able to schedule so just be patient and keep trying I suppose

 

[phrasse]

II!!! Completed 8/8, LM 81.4, ties to school

 

[PoliticalDoc]

Did a lot of dates show up? It looks like they're either already full or the system is just weird lol

II. Complete 8/7, LM 80, OOS. There was one date in September and two in October when I scheduled.

 

[jim_free]

If you waited for a couple of minutes, dates eventually showed up, and there were multiple October dates (at least 10 I think). I was complete 7/20, LM 77.5, WARS 93, OOS.

 

[NaijaBoy98]

Has anyone else still not been able to pick an interview date?

 

[TB12-Goat]

Anyone done the video interview yet? If so, how was it?

 

[duck_sauce]

Has anyone else still not been able to pick an interview date?

I couldn't get the dates on the calendar either so I just emailed them and had them schedule manually for me

 

[NaijaBoy98]

I did the same thing!

 

[TB12-Goat]

For anyone who's nervous - had my WashU interviews today and both interviewers were amazingly kind and genuine. Quickly became my top choice school.

 

[Orims]

Just got an II!!! So excited as I have friends at WashU and they love it there!

 

[KatsuCurry]

Is this an II?

Crying in the club rn. Doesn't feel real. I've gotta say that the first line saying "You're invited for a video assessment" is the strangest II opener I've ever heard.

I thought it was fake for a solid 5 mins (also the e-mail address it was sent from is not from WashU either) until I looked at my portal.

 

[Orims]

Anyone else having problems trying to pick a date for the interview?

 

[Lifeblood_20]

Got an II just now. OOS complete 8/29, no ties.

 

[PotatoSquare]

Anyone else having problems trying to pick a date for the interview?

Same problem here...

 

[Orims]

Same problem here...

Just sent the Office of Admissions an e-mail, will update once I get a reply.

 

[plebienrebels]

II (online assessment thing) Complete 07/29.

 

[KatsuCurry]

I got the interview tab to load, but I'm only seeing two dates very soon, October 8 and October 10. Strange that they don't have more availability, yeah? (@jim_free also mentioned that they saw like 10 dates)

Also does anyone know if WashU is rolling with their admission decisions? Or do they release all at once in March or something (i.e. how much of an advantage is it to interview early?)

MSAR says earliest acceptances will be issued on October 19th...although I'm better few if any will be that early considering they are just now releasing IIs

 

[Baloo123]

Congrats to everyone on receiving your interviews! Would you mind sharing your complete dates?

Yeah, I'm getting two dates very soon too. My guess is they are asking people to interview ASAP because they are behind on admissions this year.
