Do you guys think that the last question on the secondary about any other relevant information could be considered to be optional? There are just so many questions already on the secondary and i have no idea what to write for this one, especially since it's only 750 characters. This is the only question holding me back from submitting my secondary.

I think it is optional, I didn't write anything for that prompt because I was able to explain everything I wanted to in the previous prompts.

Thanks for your advice! Yeah, that's what I thought too. I felt that all of the other questions already covered what I wanted to include.

I answered the prompt with general information about my favorite hobbies, interests, etc.

Do they screen presecondary? The last update I got from them was that my mcat was not verified but it was. I emailed them asking if they received my mcat or if i was receiving a secondary recently and they responded with "okay thanks for letting us know!" i'm confused

They do. Although, I'm not sure if it's to check if their minimum requirements have been met or something else.
 
Should I be concerned that they still have not received my LOR while other schools already have?
 
Good luck to all interviewees today!

For those who got the pre-interview activity, how close to your actual interview date did they send it out?

About 2-3 days prior. It has nothing to do with your actual interview. It's for their own records. Super simple.

They're running a little behind but I just sent them an email and they marked me complete since it had been over 3 weeks since i sent in my secondary.

My letters are checked off as received on the portal but I never got a complete email?
 
Just got the call...accepted!! Holy moly I did not think this would happen this early in the cycle. As a reapplicant I can just reiterate that this is a long cycle. Stay positive, hang in there, and let me know if you ever need any words of encouragement :)

Anyone else get an alternate list email? I know it’s an achievement still, but it feels like a gut punch...
