Is there a character/word limit for this section?
And do they set it up so that each selection is separate or do you summarize all selections in one area?

 

[Chicharito123]

it is in one area. Item 12 comprises all the answers of questions a, b, c, and d. After that question they ask to explain the reason of your chosises

Hey guys,

I hope the application cycle is going well. I just have a question about the final page on Morehouse School of Medicine's secondary application. The section about a faculty appraisal is completely new to me. I asked a couple of my friends that are med school if they knew what that was. They all said no. Could someone please help explain as to what is expected from the faculty appraisal? Essentially, what is the faculty appraisal?

Thanks

They mean letters of rec. Option A is for a committee letter, Option B is for three individual letters, and Option C is if you're a repeat applicant and you submitted letters to them last year.

 

[Precious]

@parachichi do you know what option to choose for committee letter + individual letters?

 

[OwlPower92]

Complete and ready for review email

 

[parachichi]

@parachichi do you know what option to choose for committee letter + individual letters?

Ooh umm, no I don't know. I think they're expecting applicants to send either a committee letter OR three individual letters. I guess if I were in your shoes, I'd choose Option B and list out my recommenders' names. But you can always call and ask!

Does Morehouse SOM take Canadian students?

[MD/DO_2016]

can someone explain how they submitted their picture? I am very confused...

You print it out, passport style, no larger than 2x2, then glue it on the printed out picture form (could be found on the secondary application portal) and then e-mail it to

[email protected]

 

[Precious]

@MD/DO_2016 do you know if there is a way to upload the picture directly, without printing it out and pasting it? Like just send the file directly through email?
