That seems like an awesome program.

For "grades," do I put in a letter grade or numerical grade based on 4.0 scale?

 

[DreamSquid]

For "grades," do I put in a letter grade or numerical grade based on 4.0 scale?

I put my letter grade, since that is what I reported on my AMCAS and what is on my transcripts.

I'd do whatever shows on your transcript. I went with letter grade.

 

[ThisIsNotMyRealName2]

My transcript actually shows both...

Also, what do you think Biochemistry falls under? Biology? Organic Chemistry? General/inorganic Chemistry? The class definitely felt very biology-centered, so I'm tempted to put it under biology, but the course is still offered as a part of the chemistry department...

Edit: But I did report it as letter grade on AMCAS, so I think I'll go with that. Thanks!

I'm ready to submit my application - but I wasn't sure about the course work section. Do I put just the course number? Or do they want the name AND number?

I put course name/course number. For example Organic Chemistry I/CHEMXXX.

 

[DBC03]

Thanks! I heard from UPSOM and they said to include the name, so I'll do that

md or mstp?

 

[mellie0]

I'm filling out the secondary and I'm struggling about the "interests" section. I'm interested in a specialty that I have NO experience in, so I don't want to be all "I like this field" when I have nothing in my app to back it up. What do you guys think? Go with my interest or go with something more in line with what my app has?

 

[fingerscrossed14]

My status in the portal still says "Invited to complete supplemental application" even though everything is either submitted or complete. Anyone else? I submitted July 9

Just put what you're interested in. I put that I was interested in Peds and ob/gyn and my research was in neuroscience. I think they just try to use it to match you up with someone in a field you could be interested if you get an interview invite.

II this morning, OOS Complete 7/6.

 

[AlmostADoctor1996]

Do you think that they are handing out interviews as they read through the applications? It seems like all II have been from people who were finished on 7/5 and 7/6.

[maedae17]

For the cultural diversity/talent prompt I wanted to discuss being a Mexican American, but I mentioned that in my personal statement already. Would it be better to expand on that or talk about something different?
