Feeling like every school secondaries is kinda similar
 
GUYS why on earth does it ask for ACT and GRE unofficial scores but not MCAT?!
 
The profile section is completely blank on mine too
 
Same! And it won't let me save my "what was changed since last year" essay.
 
I assume you just need to fill in LOr information and they will automatically download it from AACOMAS?

does anyone know if "Have you ever had disciplinary action taken against you by any professional society or professional association?" includes academic probation?

I don't think so, and if your primary shows that you had an academic probation, you are not lying so no need to worry.
 
So, do you guys copy and paste the clinical experience or you actually re-write everything?

That is what I am wondering too. I was thinking I would just copy and paste. I don't want to seem lazy, but I also already pretty much summed everything up and don't have a whole lot of new info to add.
 
Question:

How do you guys submitted the application? In essay part, I left the changes in my AACOMAS blank, and it does not allow me to submit the supplemental application.

Just say that AACOMAS is complete and save.
 
Submitted this secondary today. Anyone know when they start sending out IIs? I might look back at last years thread to see.

Edit: looks like IIs started late July.

Has anyone had any trouble verifying letters of recommendation through AACOMAS to this school.

Im debating just sending to schools via inter folio in order to speed up the process.
 
@cjcarter How did you guys fill out the test scores section?

There is no MCAT section and I have not taken anything on here except the SAT.

I only took the ACT so I filled that part out and left the rest blank. I was able to submit no problem.

Are SAT/ACT scores required? I took the SATs about six years ago and I don't have any idea what my score was. I did take the MCAT though and graduate with a bachelor's degree.
