+1 OOS Secondary, Submitted on 7/16
+1OOS Secondary Received
I am wondering the same thingThese are the two questions that pop up if you indicate an interest in the Colorado Spring Branch:
1. Please submit a short statement regarding your interest in the Colorado Springs Branch. You may address characteristics of the Branch that would be a fit for your strengths, experiences, and/or career plans. You may also note your ties to or interest in Colorado Springs or other similar communities. Limit the essay to 1500 characters, including spaces (approximately 300 words).
2. In the Colorado Springs Branch LIC, students work in multiple health systems across Southern Colorado (e.g. Colorado Springs, Cañon City, Pueblo) to understand the interface between academic and community medicine and participate in a curriculum focused on how physician leadership in quality improvement and community engagement can impact health equity. Please describe how participation in the Colorado Springs Branch LIC would advance your career goals, and how your life experiences have led you to an interest in our program. You may also note any ties to Colorado Springs or the Southern Colorado community, if applicable. Please limit your statement to 300 words.
Is it just me or do these questions ask for exactly the same thing? How are you guys approaching this?
go for itHi, there! would I be able to PM?
Hello, I am wondering if Colorado has a cadaver/gross anatomy lab? They list the classes that we take but I didn't see an anatomy lab. I'm assuming there is, how much time is spend in the lab? Also, what percentage of your classes are in-person/on-campus? Lastly, do you use the simulation center at Anschutz? There isn't a ton of info on the website about it. Thanks for your help and offering to answer questions!Hey everyone - rising MS2 checking in here. Happy to answer any questions about the school (less experienced with the branches) and parts of the application process that I can address.
There is a cadaver lab, but it is prosection based. You'll have anatomy for about 4 hours/week for about 2/3 of the curriculum and you'll have 3 anatomy practicals.Hello, I am wondering if Colorado has a cadaver/gross anatomy lab?

I just received an email with a secondary invite. In that same email, they mentioned that they received my primaryWas there any email to indicate they received your primary? Or did y'all just receive a secondary invite after verification?
I've taken it and there's no time limit or scheduled date for the Duet. You just log in and take it at your own pace, kinda like a personality testFor those who took duet, how long does it take to get a test date
I just noticed this as well. The two prompts were very similar so I think one of them was a mistake and they just removed it.Hello! For those of you who applied to the Colorado Springs Branch, I swear there were two prompts to fill out! But when I logged in to submit my application, one of the prompts was gone. Am I the only one experiencing this, or have they just removed the prompt altogether?
I answered both prompts, and now they deleted one of them.Hello! For those of you who applied to the Colorado Springs Branch, I swear there were two prompts to fill out!

Same. I kinda spilt my answer between the two prompts so it kinda sucks that they're only going to be reading half of my reply.I answered both prompts, and now they deleted one of them.

I was gonna lay out the examples that are not elsewhere on my application or add a new layer of depth to an activity mentioned on AMCAS and then figure out which of the pillars they support and then which one needs the most work. With personal growth, I was gonna recognize the importance of the pillar I chose in a medical context and then, if I have space put it in the context of how I would grow/how I see it at the school to do like a demonstrated fit.how are you guys answering #1? especially with the one pillar talking about personal growth
got secondary, is it worth writing the extra essay since it does not really impact your chances?
Damn. I thought 44 was bad… I kept adding more because I have 0 interviews and no committee letter and average stats 😭yea, same here. ORM applying to 60MDs so a lil burnt out
60! Wow, that's a lot. I thought applying to 42 MD + DO Schools was a lot.yea, same here. ORM applying to 60MDs so a lil burnt out

Do you know to what extent the school weighs Casper scores?Hey everyone - rising MS2 checking in here. Happy to answer any questions about the school (less experienced with the branches) and parts of the application process that I can address.
Didn't get an email but my portal said this as soon as my app was complete, IIRC.Did anyone else get an email saying "your application is ready and under review?" Sheesh. That's fast and scary!
Yeah it was automatic and mine said it at midnight, which I’m guessing wasn’t when they started reviewing it.Didn't get an email but my portal said this as soon as my app was complete, IIRC.
Go back to the portal where you submitted the secondary and hit status on the left hand side!How do you check the online portal?
So frustrated! I submitted everything but didn’t realize I had to take duet as well so despite finishing the essays in five days they are just now reviewing my application 19 days later. There goes my “two week window”
Um if I take duet now will it be sent right now or no
How do I know if it was sent? I just did it and clicked random answers LOLI think so! I took it for another school and it was sent right away. Takes 15 minutes super easy
