I would simply submit as soon as possible. Typically you should aim to get your secondaries in within two weeks of receiving them, but sometimes life happens and as long as you get it in within the school's deadline you will be fine!
I think I would interpret this as if you have a formal supervisor from anything on your application you should obtain a letter from that person. I think the "should be" is meant for students that actually didn't have a formal supervisor in any position leading up to this point and so they simply can not provide a letter. I would say medical schools prefer letters from supervisors because they want to know how you are viewed in the professional realm and having only letters from science faculty will most likely result in repetitive recommendations. If you did research with a science professor, that could be considered a formal supervisor too. Hope this helps!
Congrats on the II! When were you complete?
Thank you! Complete 7/18.
Do you mean Jan 20? When I logged in, the 20th was the last date. I definitely would have taken the 21st if it had been available
I also got 21st. But from the looks of it you can reschedule if 21st becomes available?
You might be able to search the UND underground for a ride, too. Something like underground.und.edu…
Nope I got the 21st! It's a Saturday
I'm so glad I saw this! I rescheduled for the 21st.
Did you read the letter attached to the interview information that says that there are medical students who available who volunteer to give people rides?
Just received that email yesterday! Thank you for your help!
interview was super conversational and enjoyable despite how intimidating the concept may sound.
Thank you for posting this! I interview this coming week, so this helps a lot.For what it's worth and to hopefully calm some nerves:
My buddy interviewed here this weekend. She said the facilities were very impressive, everyone was welcoming and helpful, and even the panel
The website says end of January, they told me and a few of my friends by the end of this week (meaning they should tell us today), and now everyone's saying it'll be next week. I'm pretty confident they'll tell us next week. I don't know how they could possibly need two more months!
No problem! But don't blame me if it does wind up being two months
I'm no expert.
I was told Jan 31st; don't know of anyone who has heard anything yet.
I know of a few who've been accepted post-interview but that's it.
You're totally in.
From searching through threads of past years, it appears to move between 7 and 25 spots. That's ND spots, though. There is a different waitlist for out-of-state, and that one doesn't move quite as much
Reading that makes me sooooooooo happy!
Honestly I would start preparing for next cycle. Ask what their reason for waitlisting you was and go from there. Not to sound discouraging but it's better to be ready for next year than to try and bank on a spot and have time wasted on an application
I am not sure if they have an official visit day, you could always call admissions and ask, very nice people! It's great to hear you have been accepted, I am hoping at least 3 people in front of me decide to go elsewhere so we can both be in the same class next year!
Maybe this is a dumb question, but why would they make accepted people write a letter of intent? Isn't that the purpose of the personal statement, secondary essays, and interview? Maybe I'm missing something.
I don't know for a fact but I think it is more of a "Sign here" letter of intent, and not "Please write us a letter of intent" if that makes sense
