Congrats! stats?+1 OOS URM. I've been verified since June but I've added the school to my amcas on 8/17 and my primary was received yesterday (7/18)
Yeah it appears to be exactly the same! Sorry I can't post it rn I'm currently using my phone.For those with secondaries, are the questions exactly the same as last year?
Thanks! GPA/sGPA/MCAT is 3.42/3.47/514Congrats! stats?
No worries, thanks for the response!Yeah it appears to be exactly the same! Sorry I can't post it rn I'm currently using my phone.
Hey everyone sorry I got caught up, same as last year plus COVID essay. 3.3 undergrad/ 3.9 post-bac / whopping 504 MCAT.Congratulations!!! Do you mind sharing your stats?
What is the COVID essay? Is asking about application interruptions, reflections on the pandemic, what have you been up to, etc?Hey everyone sorry I got caught up, same as last year plus COVID essay. 3.3 undergrad/ 3.9 post-bac / whopping 504 MCAT.

Congrats stats?Secondary received! I was worried I wouldn’t get one, but I also received Geffen so I hoped I would here!
If you are currently not a full-time student, please list and describe your current activities. (800 characters maximum)
how are you guys answering this question? I've got a LOT of things I'm doing, but the "describe" word makes me think they want details. any help? No way I can fit it all in with just 800 characters to work with.
When I have a short space for this question, I usually just write sentence after sentence of job titles and duration/time period to grasp my full timeline as a non trad. For me personally, I’d rather share everything I’ve done so they get the full picture and then if they like me, we can discuss the details of each during an interview lol. I’m too afraid of leaving things out and looking like I haven’t used my time wisely. For unheard of things, obv you should elaborate. But I don’t see the point forcing details of common activities like being a scribe or medical assistant for example or even volunteering activities that are well known (shelters, soup kitchens, tutoring, etc). It’s tricky bc of the “describe” but I would go with what will present your complete profile. Hope this gives you an idea on how to approach it!
Yeah, I think I'm considered low stats. 3.3 undergrad 3.9 post bacc and 504Did anyone with low stats get a secondary? Still trying to figure out if I even should bother
I don't think so. On the secondary portal after you submit, it reminds you to make sure that you send in all of your LORsDo we need to assign LOR before they send us a secondary?
Same problem for me tooI can't get my picture to upload. Anyone else having the same issue?
Same problem for me too
I believe its the same as last year + covid essay but here it is to save everyone a few clicks!Would anyone happen to know pre-screen cut off? Also if anyone could post secondary prompts, it'd be much appreciated!
Maybe there's a glitch or something but I had no problems and my image was a .jpg and 35KB if that helps.I’ve tried three different file types now and nothing works.
Stats?So I've now submitted the secondary. In the e-mail it says that my secondary fee is waived (I received FAP). Are we supposed to receive a confirmation?
Holistic screen with emphasis on mission fit most likely.Can someone please explain how this program screens for secondaries? I have not received one yet, but I would love to receive one
Yeah, it was probably a glitch. I tried the same photo today and it worked. Was a .jpg and 2.31MB for mineMaybe there's a glitch or something but I had no problems and my image was a .jpg and 35KB if that helps.
Don't count yourself out just yet.Should we assume that if we were verified early and haven’t received a secondary by now that we won’t be getting one?
@mdman26 my stats are LOWER than this and I received a secondary today. Yes, I have an upward trend and lots of work experience but still. Go for it. Don't know unless you applyYeah, I think I'm considered low stats. 3.3 undergrad 3.9 post bacc and 504
Do you mind sharing you stats?@mdman26 my stats are LOWER than this and I received a secondary today. Yes, I have an upward trend and lots of work experience but still. Go for it. Don't know unless you apply
I'm not going to go into exact details but <500 , <3.0 gpa.Do you mind sharing you stats?
Just received a secondary! OOS URM verified 8/18
They definitely screen holistically because I almost passed out at work when I got my email lol
Don't count yourself out! I was verified and sent in my primary like earliest possible date in july, was told that they had my application 8/15 and JUST received secondary today: URM 3.5 3.45sgpa 514 HYP undergrad. Def holistic screen and probably takes time to read through regardless of order.This is reassuring because I was just verified 8/21

Have you resolved this? I think its also a glitch when schools have similar portals, try signing in then logging out of NYMC, then opening a new browser and try the link again, or try logging on incognito (if your on chrome) and see if that works too.Hey just received the secondary but when I click on the link it takes me to my NYMC secondary anybody else have this issue?
Thank you for sharing ❤I'm not going to go into exact details but <500 , <3.0 gpa.
Multiple degrees. I know, it's vague but don't want to reveal too much.
Keep faithThank you for sharing ❤
I was using safari initially but then used crome and didn’t have an issue. ThanksHave you resolved this?

I didn't get a secondary 2 years ago when I applied. So trust this was a shocker for me. Just do it. Unless, money is an issueI am debating reapplying. I didn’t even get a secondary last time so I am not sure tho lol

Good question. I didn't even realize it wasn't on their website until now but I sent to 2 from professors and 1 from an MD. All of my LOR weren't in but I had them assigned on AMCASCan someone who received a secondary please share the LOR requirements since it's not on their site?
