Hey everyone. So I just got access to the secondary today, and I'm going to have it filled out by early next week. I'm wondering if it would be ok to go ahead and have my LORs sent now, just to get it out of the way. I know it takes a few weeks to get LORs matched to the application at some schools, so I thought I might get a head start. I'll call in the morning and ask, but I thought I could get a quicker response here! Thanks, peeps.
The 28th.Those of you that got the complete email, when did you send in your forms?
Yeah, I am struggling with this secondary. I might not ever finish it as I keep getting more schools to fill out.I've decided not to finish their secondary... Good luck to all of you applying!
if i were reviewing applications i would favor the application that puts an actual weakness. everyone has them. talk about how you plan on working on fixing it.
i know this is medical school application stuff, but i dont think people should ever be ashamed of who they are or how they are perceived. if the school doesn't like it, then they don't deserve you as a student. i know that's easier said than done when it's your future at stake..
Just call the admissions office to check your status, they are very friendly and quick.
Why are you calling if you got the confirmation email?hey, i got the confirmation email a while ago, but i have been calling them obsessively for over a month now, have left 2 messages (always get the machine!!!) and have not heard from them. i just want to talk to a live person. i'm calling 847-578-3204 is that what you all are calling or am i just the world's biggest idiot, and there is a different number to call?
thanks!
i call schools several times in order to stay on their raidar and to speak with admission people. that way i'm not just an anonymous "verified" applicant.
this sounds spectacularly annoying and is probably not giving you an advantage in any way. If you don't have anything important to ask or tell them (especially if your application is already complete) its probably best to leave them alone.
This was probably the most annoying secondary I've filled out to date... I had to retype my essays 3 times because they wouldn't fit and I had to redo the spacing. Once when I pressed backspace to delete, the webpage went back to the previous page and when I went forward again, everything I had typed was gone. So annoying! They really need to just have an online form like almost every other school I've applied to.
Quick LOR question -
I'm sending my letter electronically via Interfolio. However, neither of my professors uploaded the letter with letterhead, and my work supervisor is a previous supervisor from a year ago who knew me very well and supervised me for a long time.... but no longer works there. So of course that letter is not on letterhead either. Is this going to be a problem? Their secondary says something to the effect of that all letters must be on letterhead, but I've heard that only pertains to letters mailed from the school and not from Interfolio.
Does anyone have the answer?? Anyone sent these electronically without letterhead and had/not had a problem? Thanks
neone did not completely fill the spaces of the questions?
I called with this same question and they told me it was fine- I sent it in a lil over a week ago and haven't heard anything yet though to tell you if it truly worked out though.
this is my last freaking secondary and i hate it!!!!! I cant BS anymore! and wut is with the "inter-professional environment" ? they repeat that like 20 times in the main page (exaggerating )
Quick question...what did you guys put on page 5 of the app, where it asks if you want to release the info provided on the app?

agreed -- schools are going to get pissed off because they're swamped with stuff right now. your application should speak a great deal for itself so hopefully you did it well enough to assure you're not some "anonymous verified applicant"
you should know something about the schools you are applying to. RFU is a health professions school. Interprofessionalism is an important part of your future career. You'll have to work with PA's, PT's, nurses, pathologists, etc.
Hey, if you still feel this way, take a few more days for a breather. It's definitely not a good idea to go into a secondary hating it...especially when you have to write 4 essays about it. That negative attitude will also be present in them. Embrace it. It's your last one!
so i sent in my secondary to rfu over a month ago now, and my letters were uploaded onto Vevals even earlier. have not gotten the complete email and every time i call, its an answering machine. i left a message a week ago but no response. any suggestions?
