Has anyone submitted their secondary to NYITCOM? I just logged in, submitted my responses, uploaded my photo, and paid the $80 but there was no "thank you for submitting" message or email. I just got a confirmed payment email from paypal. When I log back into the secondary, it takes me to the...

Hey, guys! Submitted my application on 6/17, verified 6/20. Has anyone in this timeframe received a secondary from WVSOM? I know I was just verified today, but hoping to get an idea on the timeline for secondaries to go out from WVSOM. If you have received one, what were the questions asked...

I wish everyone the best of luck with this cycle! My application is processed/verified, but I do have a couple questions. 1. My second MCAT score comes out in July. Do schools send out secondaries before getting the second MCAT score or do they wait until that second score comes out? 2. Do...

Hey guys, I know this is early to prep but I had a quick question. I don't have any research experience and I feel like I may be asked "Why don't you have this" or something along the lines of if I am competent in terms of research. Do you guys have any advice on how to explain that...

UPDATE: I got my answer by calling DMU-COM. I printed it below. Earlier today, I was filling in as many of the "easy bits" of the AACOMAS 2018 application as I could (aka coursework + Y/N questions), I noticed that under the school-specific button, some schools have, in addition to Prereqs tab...

I was wondering when the latest date to take the MCAT would be in order to still apply in a timely manner for this cycle. I was hoping to take it on June 1st, which would mean the scores would be released on July 6th. Would this delay or hurt my application in any way? I know that many schools...

Would schools look down on using abbreviations of their names (MSU for Michigan State University, Toledo for University of Toledo, MCW for Medical College of Wisconsin, etc.) instead of their full names? Looking to save character space.

I couldn't really find any feedback on this by using the search function, so I thought I'd go ahead and ask.
