Oy... Just to know what to expect, where's the link to the thread from last year which included prompts from different schools?

Dear

Your file is complete and has been preliminarily reviewed. You are within a pool of applicants from which an interview may be extended. Please note that this does not guarantee you will be offered an interview and you may not see an update to your status for several months.

Our interview season runs from September through April and you will be contacted via email if you have been selected to interview.

Drexel is an actual printout of an application?? if thats the case im going to scan it and edit it in pdf. Or is it an online app?

Also, sooooooo i dont want to make another poll, but so far to date, what do you guys think. which secondary has been the most frustrating, tedious, and annoying to date??
i nominate RFU or UIC.


I am pretty sure that it will be online this year. I believe they have a section on their website setup for this purpose. Unfortunitely, you need a password to access it.

can someone please confirm the Stanford secondary? They send secondaries to all applicants (msar and school website confirm this) and I haven't received it yet...(AMCAS verified in late June)


I just got Stanford's secondary a few moments ago, so its possible they did start sending them earlier this weekend.

Why does the Stanford welcome page say 'congratulations on being invited to fill out our secondary application?'

I thought they don't screen.

Stanford. I was poking fun at my teenage angsty-ness while I waited for their e-mail.


Oh, Stanford was the part I didn't get..

Crap, I was just that kid. The one who is the last to get the joke.

My RUSH status says my letter packet isn't in yet, but it says the rest of my app was complete July 28, and I know my letters were available to them on virtualeval a couple days before that. Are they being this slow with everyone or do I need to call and ask what's up?

IT is a screen application. Good job :D
 
Is there a list someone that indicates which schools screen ? And by screening does that mean they are looking for certain scores/gpas ? They can only screen if you're verified, right ?

Dude, Where's my Verification?
Can I get a status check, pretty please?
 
For anybody who's been fretting about this like I have...

I just called the UCSF admissions office, and they said that only half of the people who have submitted AMCAS to UCSF are in the UCSF database. So, don't worry if their status page says they don't have your data, and you should be getting a confirmation of receipt email within about a week.
 
Seriously, where the f is Drexel's secondary? They are testing my patience. Not that I've written RFU, I'm just bitching. :D

List lookin' good, kids. :love:

Anyone care to share the questions in the official question thread? I haven't received the secondary yet :oops:

I didn't see anyone posting the questions so I added toledo's secondary questions on the thread. Here are they just in case:


Using the back of this page or a separate sheet of paper, briefly discuss any extenuating circumstances which you feel are pertinent to your application (poor grades, course withdrawals, etc).


The University of Toledo College of Medicine is committed to excellence in education which prepares graduates to deliver quality health care. Developing cultural competence is an important goal in our curriculum. Cultural competence is defined as an awareness, understanding and ability to use specific methods to deal effectively with cultural issues and its role in health and health care. Please discuss a life experience in which you feel you demonstrated cultural competence. You may use the back of this page or attach an additional sheet of paper.

Yeah, I am reading it now. That is one hell of a prompt...cultural competence for MUO and now attributes for OHSU. I am already having a brain freeze :eek:
 
Is toledo a screener?
 
Toledo, baby. I got it too. :) First thing this morning. And I added them to AMCAS on 7-20. :luck: all
 
I submitted the Yale secondary and LORs several weeks ago, and the status page has yet to change. Has anyone's Yale status page been updated?
 
I emailed Yale regarding the same thing. They said they take a long time to update their status page and told me they had my information. You can email them also, even though it says you cant check your status via email...you can.
 
btw, this is my 100th post! score, it only took me 2 years to get here...hehe
