question for those of you who already interviewed how did you go about answering the why medicine for your open file vs closed file interviewer? Did you say the same thing for both? I feel like I just want to recap my personal statement but it feels a bit weird to do that with an open-file interviewer.

For MSTP interviewees, how long before your interview date did they contact you? Trying to understand what they meant by "85% of interviews selected by September 30th" (does this mean they've already sent out 85% or have they just chosen and not sent out some of the November and December dates?).

That is some good news! it seems like they probably haven't sent 85% of their interviews out by this point then - also, congrats!

Thank you all for sharing your info! :)

Just out of curiosity...does the mstp cycle move faster?? 85% of interviews by october is such a daunting thought
