All great schools. I'd say Columbia and Sinai are more similar to each other in terms of culture than Cornell. We interbreed a lot with them.

Member 340795 · 06-09-2011, 04:34 PM

can you expand on that a little?

Does anyone know if legacy plays any part in Mt. Sinai's admissions?

Member 405846 · 06-24-2011, 11:31 AM

anyone receive a secondary yet?

Member 218672 · 06-24-2011, 12:23 PM

Nope not yet.

Member 382572 · 06-30-2011, 02:17 PM

Mt. Sinai prompt is up. Only two essays.

Member 377616 · 06-30-2011, 02:17 PM

I just received an email from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine with the essay prompts -

Thank you for submitting your AMCAS application for the 2012 admissions cycle. As you know your AMCAS application has been verified and we wanted you to know that we will be sending you an email with the link to our supplemental application in the next two weeks and we look forward to receiving your completed application.

In the meantime we would like you to have the essay questions in case you would like to start thinking about them:

What makes you unique, someone who will add to the Mount Sinai community? (suggested 250 words or less)
Indicate the reasons for your specific interest in Mount Sinai. (optional, suggested 200 words or less)

Member 218672 · 06-30-2011, 02:45 PM

Eeeeek I got one too!!!

Member 360422 · 06-30-2011, 02:52 PM

What a tease. I want to submit!

Member 407909 · 06-30-2011, 05:21 PM

I hope I get a secondary here...definitely top choice!

Member 347682 · 06-30-2011, 05:32 PM

According to the MSAR, all applicants are given a secondary. Did they used to screen for secondaries?

Member 273919 · 07-08-2011, 11:11 AM

To Mt. Sinai medical students:

I know a lot of people who have gone to this school for an MD or MD/PhD and they all seemed to do research here many summers. Are they looking for connections with the university? Also, would you say that they value research mroe than the average school? I'm personally very interested in research and that has been a huge reason why I am applying here. Thanks all!

Member 397342 · 07-10-2011, 08:54 PM

On a similar note, how bad would it be to apply to this school with no research? Any idea if I would be completely shooting myself in the foot by applying here?

Member 218672 · 07-11-2011, 12:48 AM

To be honest, I doubt chances are real good without research.

I am still giving it a shot though

Member 314783 · 07-11-2011, 01:02 PM

Secondary is written and ready to go... Send it out already!

When I interviewed they explicitly said they aim to produce academic clinicians, so if you have no research you probably need a lot of teaching or similar experience to make up for it.

Member 332794 · 07-14-2011, 11:21 AM

Due to the very high amount of humanities people who get into sinai I would guess a fair amount of people do not have much research or none at all under their belt. Don't thnk its that bad, but then again my .02

Have the majority of you received the secondary? I do not have my MCAT score or LORs in so maybe that is why...

Member 232548 · 07-15-2011, 10:48 AM

secondaries havent been sent out yet i dont think

Member 332531 · 07-15-2011, 09:48 PM

Research is a must. Don't sleep on humanities majors. Most of us have clinical/bench research too.

Member 278869 · 07-17-2011, 05:41 AM

No secondary here, either.

I just received the Mt. Sinai secondary. MD/PhD applicant. If you are sending letters via AMCAS, do not complete step 4 of the secondary where it asks you to register your recommendation writers. Did not read the bright red, bold notice...oops

Member 390463 · 07-20-2011, 07:55 AM

Just got the (official) secondary invite this morning. MD applicant.

Congrats! That seems super early, when did you receive/submit your secondary?

Member 350795 · 07-20-2011, 08:06 AM

I just received the secondary email which says, "Thank you for starting the official online version of our application." even though I never started it. There's no password given to me and when I click the forgot password and try to email it to myself nothing happens. Anyone else having this issue?

Same here. Password is your AMCAS ID.

Member 360422 · 07-20-2011, 08:21 AM

Thanks...that's very confusing. Page 1 = step 1, page 2 = step 2, page 3-5 = step 3, and then step 4 isn't page 6? Ah well.

Awwww yes there it is. There's also a spot for a photo upload after Essay 2.

Member 217676 · 07-20-2011, 09:43 AM

Would I need to fill in the recommender registration if my LORs have already been received through AMCAS?

When I click on that page red text says, "Note for MD and MD/PHD applicants, your letter of recommendation has been received. Please continue to the next step." So, if yours says this you don't have to.

Member 289705 · 07-20-2011, 10:12 AM

I got the secondary too - and yes that red prompt on the LOR page means that I don't have to complete that section. All my letters are in AMCAS. They should have received it.

Member 407414 · 07-20-2011, 10:50 AM

Has anyone submitted yet? I just did. Feel like I kind of rushed it now.

Member 218672 · 07-20-2011, 10:55 AM

There was nothing to rush, don't worry. Haha, it was only 450 words max!!

Does anybody know about the school? I have never been to New York and I was just wondering what it's like going to school at Mt. Sinai.

I'm not sure if I should spend the $105 or if it's too far a reach.

still no secondary

Member 392909 · 07-20-2011, 11:54 AM

For the essays, I am not getting any text boxes to type them in.

I see that there is a document upload button and am wondering if I am supposed to use that to enter the essays. If so, do I just type them individually in Word documents?

Any help would be appreciated!
