Did anyone apply here? Did anyone get secondaries yet?

 

[Borinkén]

My husband has applied to SJBSM, I believe this year they are not sending out secondaries.

Thank you. How are they collecting applications then? if secondaries are not being sent out.

Hey! So I'm not sure honestly, I've been seeing a lot of conflicting information. I first saw earlier this year on their website that they wouldn't be sending out secondaries this year, but I no longer see that info on their homepage? Regardless, I do know they seem to start later so if we were to hear back from them it wouldn't be until August-September

 

[elietero]

I applied last year and have friends that are current students and graduated recently. They don't review their applications until late october/november and they start their II around december/ january. they take their time with the apps so hang tight

 

[Borinkén]

Hubby just got an email from SJBSM saying they received his AMCAS and will be reviewing his application. It said that they will be sending supplementary applications to qualified applicants 😯. I thought they sent out secondaries to everyone. That's new to me!

How did you all do on the Casper test? If you don't mind me asking

I got 3rd quartile if im not mistaken

 

[deomnibusdubitandum]

I got 3rd quartile if im not mistaken

Any idea if SJB takes Casper pretty seriously? I'd hate to get shut out over something (that I consider to be) so trivial.

I have no clue since in reality every school uses the Casper test as a metric in a different way. The likelihood is that if you have other enticing parts of your app then a bad Casper score wont tank you at all.

 

[Stephen A. Smith Burner]

II, completed 09/21. Good luck everyone

 

[deomnibusdubitandum]

Looks like I've overcome my Casper score, II as well.

 

[Readytogo8]

Spanish isn't my first language so I'm a bit nervous about the interview

 

[itsprobablylupus]

1st quartile

Same, I grade my Spanish 80% fluency on a good day. I just ocassionally mix up genders for words or tenses. We got this!

 

[arnim]

Did anyone get a date with their interview invite? They let me know I would be e-mailed later with a zoom link but I'm concerned since I need to ask for days off of work ahead of time

Is anyone else only having a student interview or is there going to be a second portion?

 

[deomnibusdubitandum]

Is anyone else only having a student interview or is there going to be a second portion?

I had both a student interview as well as a 10 minute interview with faculty. The student interview was tough for me, I definitely feel like I struggled so I'm hoping that doesn't affect my acceptance decision..

Yeah, it was all Spanish for me

Hello everyone, I am a first year MS at SJBSM, hit me up if you have any questions. Good luck on the app cycle.

 

[kittymeg]

I just got a secondary invite, is it too late to submit? Or do they have their own timeline going?

Don't the PR schools run on PR time? Anyone have any insight..

 

[deomnibusdubitandum]

It's worth submitting. They interview fairly late if I recall, at least until April. Maybe later.

 

[kittymeg]

Does this school require all 3 sections of the Casper test? Including the duet? I only completed the actual test and snapshot not duet.
Thank you all!

 

[wecawrecka]

anyone heard anything after interviewing? Nada?

Hey everyone, SJBSM MS1 from CA here. PM me if you have any questions.

Hey everyone, SJBSM MS1 from CA here. PM me if you have any questions.

What are clinical rotations like? Do students go through academic hospitals and work with residents and get good opportunities to learn (put in art lines etc.)

 

[deomnibusdubitandum]

Does anyone know why SJB starts classes nearly a month before anywhere else? Just curious
