since the casper isn't required but only encouraged, should I submit it to the school even though I'm 4th quartile? :confused:

Are you thinking 1st quartile? If it's 4th quartile you definitely send lol (90th percentile is higher than 70th percentile, 4th quartile is higher than 2nd quartile) and if you haven't already, then dw about sending it if they only recommend. It genuinely shouldn't hurt you even if you do send it but a lot of places aren't even considering casper this year, they only want it for data

Oh btw I was reading about their CASPer consideration, their MMI interview format is supposedly similar to the test so even though it's not required, preparing for the test should help you during the interview. That's why they encourage it anyway.

Can anyone who previously interviewed at CMU talk about their experience? I saw that last year, it was 6 MMI stations. Were there any regular interviews, or is it just purely MMI?
Also to those who got interviews, have you received any updates or correspondence emails about the schedule? My interview tab still just says my confirmed interview date.

Hey I interviewed at CMU recently. They will send you an email a week or less before your interview date with details and information regarding the interview. They sent a whole prepared video for interviewers to watch beforehand and will give you plenty of time to ensure your webcam and mic and everything are working + how to test them out and such before the interview.

I did sign a contract so im not able to reveal much about the interview itself or how many stations and such but i will say it was a great experience. everyone i met was very kind and the interview day is pretty relaxed overall in my belief. If when you say "regular" you mean traditional interview, keep in mind all MMIs can have a mix of traditional interview questions in them so i would just be ready for both in case.

My status has been "your application is ready" for a while now. Does this mean that they haven't reviewed mine yet?

I've already interviewed with them and my status is the same as yours. This portal does not indicate when and/or if you are being reviewed.

It is an MMI + group interview and i believe they make that info public on their website and they'll tell you in the email you get.

Something like that. I forgot exactly when I got it. Just look up MMI preparation guides here on SDN/Reddit and that’s more than enough! Or some youtube mmi scenarios. Good luck!!

Thanks! :) Also, in these MMI stations, do we have to present a 7 minute speech? Or are there followup questions or feedback throughout these stations?

Are these interviews really only 2 hours?? I’ve been exhausted by other long interview days so far so this seems too good to be true 😅

To anyone who has interviewed recently …

I was in the first group and they were quite vague about when we’d hear back and alluded to mid/late Oct, but didn’t specifically say Oct. 15. In recent interviews, have they been more specific on when we’d hear a decision? TIA

Just got an interview as well. I'm a reapplicant and interviewed with CMU in 2019 when they were still in person. It was a combination of MMI, small and large group activities. I've experienced other virtual MMIs so far this cycle, but I'm wondering what the group activities will be like online.

II 10/13, LM 60, ORM, OOS with no ties

Edit: Does anyone know the chances for OOS acceptance after receiving an interview? OHSU (Oregon) also prefers in-state applicants, but everyone has an equal chance of getting in if they receive an interview regardless of residency. I was wondering if this was also this was also the case at CMU.
