+1 I'm a NYS resident and haven't gotten it yet
Make sure you add [email protected] to your trusted email addresses, because it looks like their account is unauthenticated which could make their emails end up in your spam folder.
Im from NYS too but got mine already
Hopefully mine comes soon! I know they're getting sent out in batches so I'm just waiting it out
Im in the same situation (altho a MN resident). Its weird though because I submitted the first day and verified early June. Checked my spam box and nothing so not sure what that means...we shall wait in agony together!
I think that could work, as long as you had some specific challenge resulting from that job (difficulty balancing schoolwork with tutoring, conflicts that arose during tutoring sessions, etc.)
+1, OOS, verified 6/4
I would think that they'd want you to write about what you've been up to if it'll be two years since graduation until your matriculation. It seems to be worded in a way that they aren't asking for an explanation if you are currently in your first gap year, so I'd write something if you're going into your second gap. But again that's just my interpretation of the question
Anything in your life that has made you see or think about what people deserve (justice due to inherent dignity) versus what they actually get in our society. Could be volunteering, an inspiring role model, etc.
I had this issue before submitting. Nothing I tried fixed that even if I pasted from plain text. I just chalked it up to the dinosaur-era platform they use for secondaries
I just put my gap year plans/any quick covid updates since I just graduated. It's optional so you'd be fine to leave it blank. Also just a side-note but I would change your avi/username to maintain anonymity on this site since there's real adcom members and staff on here
Pretty sure Loyola doesn't screen, because their website says they send secondaries to everyone: "Candidates who complete the AMCAS primary application and select Stritch as an option to receive their primary will be sent the Stritch Supplemental Application." Double-check that it didn't end up in your spam folder, the email is from [email protected].
I didn’t yet. OOS and also transmitted on July 10
minimum 100, maximum 500
Ahh. I thought it meant maximum 500 words for all 5 prompts
I was contemplating reaching out to them soon too. I haven't received anything, submitted AMCAS on 6/1
It wouldn’t hurt to ask. I suppose it might be possible that they release the secondaries in batches, but you would think that since they don’t screen it would just be all at once.
For some of them I only wrote about 400 max. I’d say try to do at least 200-300, unless you really can’t think of anything and it’s all fluff.
Just be patient
If it was a job and not related to your school work, then I think you could make the argument it's non-academic. It wasn't tied to your grades. It was a job.
My print application also just has one massive paragraph. I think we can't really do anything about it haha
Stop emailing them. They get 10s of thousands of emails. You’re not gonna get a response within a day. If it’s about waiting for the secondary just keep waiting it’s coming!!Was anyone able to reach the admissions office via email and get a response? I emailed them yesterday and today as well but no one has responded yet.
I mean it will definitely hurt you to not be complete until the end of September. But is it something that will give you no chance? Absolutely not. This cycles timeline is ****ed.
Don’t use the same for both
I definitely don't think the only form of "concrete" social justice experience is participation in advocacy groups. It can be ANY time in which you've encountered something relating to social justice. Examples could be: volunteering at hospitals, you might notice that sometimes those of certain SES or ethnicity seem to be treated differently by nurses/doctors; similarly, discrimination you've encountered or witnessed while at school, work, etc. It could be a positive example too: a role model in your life or even a celebrity you admire who goes above and beyond to do more for others.
