No but according to last years forum they sent out interview invites on August 28th for their September 29th interview date. Since this year the interview date is the 28th of September I anticipate hat we will hear roughly around the same time.

I was looking at that too! Okay that sounds good, feels like it can’t come soon enough!! But fingers crossed for the both of us! Good luck!

Got one as well! I’m from TX! Any hotel recommendations?

Yes! I also got an invite on Friday, I am local to Pittsburgh. It depends on your price point. The Ace Hotel in East Liberty is not too far from the East End campus, they have some modest rooms that are relatively affordable: https://www.acehotel.com/pittsburgh/. The Hotel Indigo in East Liberty is also close, not sure of the pricing: https://www.ihg.com/hotelindigo/hotels/us/en/pittsburgh/pithb/hoteldetail. There is also a Spring Hill Suites that is practically next door to the East End campus: https://www.marriott.com/hotels/hotel-photos/pitel-springhill-suites-pittsburgh-bakery-square/

Hi everyone!  For those who were offered an interview, did you take the CASPER exam/test? 

Hey! No, I haven't heard of it until now honestly. It looks like an ethics/ people skills test? Might be helpful but I'm sure you'll be fine without it. They really want to see your personality in person at the interview I'm sure!

Yes- it is a situational judgement test. It consists of scenarios that involve behavioral or ethical conflicts, which you either watch or read, and then you have a short time frame to answer prompts about each scenario. It is very similar to things you’d find in a MMI style interview format or even situation based questions in traditional interviews. I took it because it was a requirement for a couple other schools where I applied.
