anyone else still waiting on the secondary, I have received every other school

+1 secondary IS (sub june 4th + verified july 15th)

I am! Did you manage to fix this? I am just getting an error message when it is at 71% completion

yes I am having this issue

I answered all question prompts including reapplicant as "not reapplicant" and it worked

Anyone else still waiting on secondary?

I am😃and I was verified 7/13

still waiting on secondaries and was verified july 9th...

I was verified the 6th and got it the 17th so that's interesting. IS.

saw some II's recently. Is this for mdphd, ed, regular md? Any ties to the school?

anyone else who got an interview invite know if it is traditional or mmi??

My message from SDN:
(I did a little digging and found that FAU’s interview is closed-file/blinded and has two parts: an asynchronous SparkHire portion with prerecorded situational/behavioral prompts, followed by a live virtual interview day with short behavioral/MMI-style interviews, student panels, and school presentations. Past applicants said the live interviews were pretty short and focused more on scenarios and behavioral questions than on going through your application. Hope that helps!)

i interviewed last year. it is exactly that, an asynchronous part (think casper questions) that you do prob like a week before i think and then the live interview day is like a couple hours. the actual interview part is very short, also mmi/casper like. very interesting set up, and then the rest of the day is a virtual tour, info, student panel, etc.

so u would say the actual live interview part is pretty chill and non stressful?

yes! i really felt very relaxed during the live interview day. it was pleasant. honestly felt way more stressed during the asynch part

For the asynch part was it strictly situational/behavioral questions, or was there also a mix of more traditional questions?
Like were they all casper-like or mostly?

Also curious about this does anyone know!

i do not remember any traditional questions for mine. i studied casper questions before hand!

Good to know thank you so much!

They were all like Casper!

Thank you so much for the reassurance!

of course! best of luck :)

Anyone who interviewed having trouble accessing the COM Scholarship Application link?

for people who received II, how long did you wait between scheduling your interview and getting the email about the asynch interview part?

A few days for me

Has anyone done the SparkHire interview? If so, what should be expected (i.e., types of questions)?

Literally pure Casper, with follow ups, it’s 3 questions.

Yeah I am too, I'm not too sure why though

Is there a benefit to applying prior to hearing back, thought I'd just wait till oct 15, thoughts?

I'm not sure if there is or isn't. I'd imagine that it gets your financial aid set faster but honestly I have no clue. Is your link working?

Haven't tried yet but will try tonight and lyk!

Ok bet
