This might be a stupid question, but does UNECOM send a secondary or are the questions in the primary all the questions we have to answer?

Looks like according to the ACCOM website for UNECOM:
"Supplemental questions are part of the AACOMAS application and must be completed at the time of submission. Applicants meeting minimum requirements will be offered a chance to pay the supplemental application fee and move forward in the process."

Hope this helps

Re-app cycle for me. MCAT coming up on Thursday (6/29). Let's hope for a good score and a little New England magic. UNECOM is my goal school.

 

[trimethylpurine]

Any update regarding mandatory lectures?

 

[AspiringD0c]

How much of a regional preference does UNECOM have? I'm from Georgia and would really like to attend this school (it's in my top 3 choices), but I'm worried that will work against me. My scores are decent (4.0 sGPA, 3.98 cGPA, 508 MCAT), but I'm not heavy on ECs and, like I said, I am not from the area...

 

[BlueChips28]

Primary (with questions) Submitted!

Me too! Good luck!

How do you guys feel about UNECOM asking about the number of DO v MD we have applied to? It makes me a little nervous as I hope that me applying to MD will not make them think anything along the lines of me not really wanting to be a DO.

I'm also wondering-- what if you added more schools after submitting your app to UNECOM? Should we send an update letter, or does it not really matter?

hmm I'm not sure on that one. Its the first time I was ever asked that question for any of the schools I'm applying to.

 

[AspiringD0c]

They probably just don't want to be a fall back school. Plus, in my opinion, it shows how broadly you are applying. Maybe they think lower numbers shows more interest? Purely speculation, though. It is a rather strange question.

 

[kopftonmd]

I vaguely remember reading last year's thread about this question and it seemed like the answer people settled upon was that it's just for the school's data collection and doesn't really matter for acceptance.

Anybody get invited yet to pay the supplemental fee?

Not yet

 

[UmbcPremed]

I really wanna attend this school! i am hoping to submit all my secondaries today ! Hoping to get invited to pay the fee here!!
Anyone wanna help me create a signature with MD, primaries, secondaries etc? Thanks!

 

[AspiringD0c]

Have secondaries started going out?

 

[BombsAway]

please update if anyone receives an invite to pay the fee and/or II

 

[Clarus]

How soon does UNE-COM send interview invites?

 

[UmbcPremed]

Does an invite to pay the fee essentially equate to an II?

 

[bostonsportsfan]

I think it's equivalent to being invited to submit their secondary. But, I may be wrong.

 

[UmbcPremed]

I thought the embedded questions from AACOMAS counted as their supplemental application. The way I understand it, they will ONLY invite you to pay the $55 if you are being considered for admissions. I also may be wrong. I'll check last year's thread and update later.

yea, i think we are both thinking the same thing. i think that UNECOM screens their applicants before letting them complete (for lack of a better term) their secondary and the way to complete it is to submit the fee (if they request you to).

ohh that does makes sense. Let's hope we are all invited to give them our money!

 

[BombsAway]

I like the way they're handling it. I think it's unethical for schools to take your money and then auto reject you an hour later.

 

[Positivevibes5]

Got an e-mail saying my application was received and preliminary review can take up to two weeks.

Anyone received a secondary yet? Does anyone know when they start giving out II?

 

[Positivevibes5]

I believe their secondary was attached to the primary. And they contact you to pay the fee if they so choose to review your file after an initial review.

But to answer your question: no I haven't been asked to pay the fee yet.

Does anybody know how strict they are on not sending out an invitation to pay? Jw if almost everybody gets the link to pay or not

Not everyone gets the link. They screen. See below:

• Step 2: Upon receipt of your verified AACOMAS application, a preliminary review of the application will begin and qualified applicants will be offered invitations to submit payment for the UNE COM supplemental application. The supplemental application fee of $55.00, must be paid to be complete your application file and be considered for admission. Supplemental application questions have been embedded into your primary AACOMAS application and must be completed at time of application for consideration.

Yeah... I know this, I was j/w if anybody knew how much they screened before they sent it out. I received the link to pay, so I was just curious. Thanks tho!!

What does invite to pay the fee actually mean? Does that mean you'll get a II right afterwards or they have to review before getting II? I assume the former of the two.
