Higher education programs are looking to make sure that students are not only academically capable but also possess suitable personal and professional qualities that make them more likely to succeed in the profession. For some US undergraduate and graduate medical programs, they’re leveraging Duet, which is a standardized approach to finding applicants whose values and priorities align with those of the program. Please check our Dates and fees page or your program’s website(s) for information on whether Duet is an admissions requirement or not.

Duet is used to find alignment between what the applicant values in a program and what the program has to offer. Duet can be used by programs at multiple stages in the process, including refining the candidate pool for interviews or during the process of ranking or deciding offers.

You can complete Duet anytime after logging in to your Acuity Insights account to reserve your Casper test date, and no later than 14 days after completing the Casper test. This will ensure that all of your Acuity assessments are available together to be considered by your program(s), if they are an admissions requirement as per the program website(s).

Should individual program requirements change, you will still be able to 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.
