Nobody else received an ii??
Hello,I noticed on last years thread that a lot of student took the Casper do you guys know if it’s necessary for this application cycle too for DPMS ? Because I thought it was only mandatory if your are applying for medical school not the DPMS program. I’ve tried looking on there website and couldn’t find any information on it.
Thank you!Hello,
Yes, it is required to take Casper for DPMS .
Best Regards,
The program will be held at the new health sciences building in Philadelphia.Which campus will the DPMS program be at? And if we matriculate into the medical school, do we have a choice which campus to attend or are DPMS students typically assigned somewhere?
Thank you so much! This was really helpfulThe program will be held at the new health sciences building in Philadelphia.
I asked past students and they said the placement is based on a lottery system. Students rank which campus they prefer and the lottery will decide who goes where. But I think if you prefer to go to the Reading campus, you will most likely be placed there as most students choose to remain in Philadelphia.
If y don’t mind sharing but When did you submit your app?interview invite received at 11:48 AM today
I applied like around NovemberIf y don’t mind sharing but When did you submit your app?
Did you need to take Casper again if you have already taken it this cycle? I took it in October…Also for ppl getting ii's you will need to take CASPer. The last day to take it for this admission cycle is May 2nd. I just reserved my test and the only test they have before the deadline in May 2nd. So make sure you reserve as soon as you get the ii's! Costs $85. If you have fee waiver provided by AAMC its free!
Seems like most of these folks applied early. It’s not rolling admissions so you’ll have an equal chance at a spot even if you interview later. Stay hopeful.Wish I was one of those first set of interview invites —- staying hopeful though it just begun 🥺🙏🏾
I applied in right when it openedSeems like most of these folks applied early. It’s not rolling admissions so you’ll have an equal chance at a spot even if you interview later. Stay hopeful.

Edit: They said interviews are sent out through March and April regardless of when it was completed. I was complete March 15th

However, I didn’t even get interview email yet just a response to my email to them. So I think they’re going to send out a batch soon
Nope so I’m anxiously waiting for them to change it or send emailsDid your status change on the portal?
Congrats! What are the dates? If u don’t mind sharing them!Received interview invite. There are 4 interview dates for the month of April.
If you dont can you DM??Congrats! What are the dates? If u don’t mind sharing them!
Thank you! Appreciate you! That’s really long for an interview.. I wonder if it’s going to be a group interview and individual interviews maybe that’s why it’s so long?Yeah, should be fine. They have dates open for April 15, 17, 22, and 24. They said that it’s on zoom, from 8:30AM to either 2PM at the earliest or latest at 4PM.
They said it’s a traditional interview with just one faculty member! They also said more information about the program will be discussed and we will be meeting current students. That’s probably why it takes so long.Thank you! Appreciate you! That’s really long for an interview..

Hi! Can I ask when did you submit your app? And did you see it update on your portal or just email or both? Tysm!They said it’s a traditional interview with just one faculty member!

I submitted my application in early March. I just checked my portal and it's not updated, still says under review but I received an email this morning to schedule the interview.Hi! Can I ask when did you submit your app? And did you see it update on your portal or just email or both? Tysm!
Did your status change on your portal? Did the interview invite come from [email protected] ? Thank you!My application was complete on 11/10. I received an interview invite yesterday around 9:48 pm.
So if I already took the CASPER for this past application cycle, do I now have to retake it?
Who did you email to get this response??Nope so I’m anxiously waiting for them to change it or send emails
I attached the full email in case u were wondering how they phrased it
Hi!Hey there,
I'm debating whether I should reserve my CASPer test date now or wait until I potentially receive an interview invitation. Do you think it's better to reserve it now just in case or should I hold off until I secure an interview? I'm not sure if Casper will remove that test date like a week in advance or if it will be available until the day before the test. Would love to hear your thoughts or if anyone has been in a similar situation before!

When you say "this past application cycle" are you referring to 2023-2024 because if that is the case then yes you will have to take CASPer for the 2024-25 cycle.My application was complete on 11/10. I received an interview invite yesterday around 9:48 pm.
So if I already took the CASPER for this past application cycle, do I now have to retake it?
I emailed [email protected] but I still haven’t gotten the interview email they said I’d getWho did you email to get this response??
I emailed them as well regarding any updates on my application and they sent me the same exact email that you have about "DPMS decisions will be sent in early May regardless of when the application was completed. Interview invitations will be sent throughout March and April." But I don't have the interview invite part that's on your email. I have my fingers crossed, hopefully that will change.Nope so I’m anxiously waiting for them to change it or send emails
