Why do programs require Duet?
Higher education programs want to select students who are not only academically excellent, but also aligned with their mission and likely to thrive in their unique environment. Duet is a standardized tool some US undergraduate and graduate medical programs use to identify these candidates.
Please check our Dates and Fees page or your program’s website(s) for information on whether Duet is an admissions requirement.
How do programs use Duet?
Programs use Duet to find alignment between an applicant’s values and desired learning environments and what the program offers. It can be used at multiple stages in the selection process, from interviews to final offers.
When do I need to take Duet?
Although you can take Duet anytime after booking your Casper test, it should be completed within 14 days of taking Casper to ensure your program(s) can consider all your assessments together.
Should individual program requirements change, you can still complete Duet at any time before your earliest program distribution deadline, as shown on the Dates and Fees page.
Please note that only select programs require applicants to complete Duet, and it will not appear in your Acuity Insights account if you only apply to programs that don’t need it.
