Thank you very much. Did BCOM send you something after filling out the secondary? I submitted it a few days ago and haven't gotten anything to indicate my application is complete or under review yet.

Has anybody put their immunization records on the secondary? That's not required yet is it
 
My last mcat score from two years ago was a 499 and I have a 3.42 sGPA and 3.7 cGPA. Should I submit now or wait until after August when I take the mcat again?
 
I selected August 21 as well. I have 3.43 cGPA, 3.45 sGPA, 499 MCAT. @Johnny Appleseed......I'm technically a resident of Utah as well. Where are you at right now?
 
Did anyone call about fee waiver for those that received it through AACOMAS?

Just shoot them an email and attach a copy of the fee waiver email AACOMAS sent you and they'll be more than happy to help! They're awesome at taking care of that for you, they turned around my email within a day.

Do they honor the AACOMAS fee waiver? Didn't see this mentioned above - haven't seen anything on the thread.

Yes, they do. You'll have to e-mail them and provide them with the fee waiver approval letter so they can refund you.
 
I also opted to do a written statement. I just wrote a creative "about me" story.

Doing a vid was my first choice, but the only time I could do it was at work, and when I tried all my older co-workers thought I was making a dating video.
LOOOL!
 
II just now... but dang this is a long way from Pennsylvania. Going to fork over some serious cash if I go

I didn't say I wasn't going, i'm just strapped for cash so a plane ride and hotel is going to drain me. But i'm overly excited nonetheless!! The campus looks beautiful and i'm grateful for any II

yes, I did the video, but someone just recently posted saying they got an II without doing any of the optional portion. Do what you'd like with that info lol
