i am...
 
me too... probably more that a few, really... arg. off to write essays 🙂
 
I'm still holding on to one, which has several essays. Ever since my interviews started, I've been too lazy to write them.
 
Take heart -- I'm holding on a few, too!
 
you guys are the best 😍

i've been freaked out ever since i got an interview 2 days ago that the earliest possible date i could schedule was jan 24th! i felt (still feel) so behind in the whole process. 🙁
 
I have some, i just got a letter than one school is closing my file. Something to do with a 4 week max time. I guess waiting almost 3 months was too long. Oh well.
 
I still have university of Maryland's secondary. I am just too lazy to fill out those essays. 😡
 
I have 5 left... well actually 8 left... I may not submit all though... losing hopes at dream schools

i would turn them all in within a day or two. you are ridiculously late. start with rolling schools first. seriously, pump them out as fast as you can.

this is the kind of negativity i didn't want in this thread. this thread is for people who have not turned in secondaries yet - run along.
 
I have three left. I don't know if I'm going to submit them all at this point though.
 
I've been sitting on UCLA and UAB's secondaries and probably quite a few more that I haven't gotten around to yet.
 
i bet several of you are sitting on the duke secondary (which is a BEAST!). I just finished mine this past week and submitted. However, since they extended the due dates, I'd say you can fill others out first and then get to Duke. They know they're late and are even expecting secondaries to come late (a friend of mine who knows admissions ppl said this). I also have know several pre-meds at my university who haven't even started looking at the Duke secondary. So don't worry 🙂
 
I'm still sitting on 2 applications, both for California schools - I lost my essay writing motivation about a month ago. :/

Good luck with those secondaries, everyone!
 
Im Sitting on NEOUCOM (bad idea probbably, since theyre both in-state and a school where I have a good shot), and well ... I guess Wake. I think I'm gonna withdraw that bad boy anyway. Maybe my at my interview at Wright State next week they will offer me a full scholarship and an acceptance right after I flash them a wink and a shy grin so I wont have to worry about this process anymore.
yea ...
 
Oh yeah ... my roommate just AMCAS verified last friday ... but then again, he scored 9 points higher on the Mcat than I did, so I guess he can afford to be a little late. But maybe his lateness will make ya feel a little better
 
hey buckeye, when will you be at wright? i'm interviewing there on wed.
 
6 here...5 by the end of the night...no dinner or Desperate Housewives until it's done! I've saved the ones with many/unique essays and schools that I am not as interested in for last. The amount of time I've held onto Georgetown's is just shameless--will have been a month by the time I submit it.

Halloween Baby. Hopefully I'll remember to wash off all of the Ultimate Warrior makeup that I'll have on for my costume. But then again ... who wouldnt want to accept a member of the Warrior Nation? I'll have to remember to wear a tie that complements the hot pink and hot green face paint.

Good luck Coco. Another fellow SDNer (DPS something or other) had his interview earlier this month (around the 10th), but has yet to hear anything. Let me know how it goes.

I just got verified early last week and have made it a personal goal to get all of them done by november! Hopefully we'll be alright. Goodluck all.

You're right. I am sitting on Duke. Such a monster.... I want to finish it ASAP, but everytime I stare at the questions my mind go blank.

To the OP: I think many of us are in the same boat, so I hope you're not freaking out anymore. GL with finishing yours. :luck:

Yup, duke is a killer. Although I may not even send it.
 
I still have at least one that I'm definitely going to fill out. The other few I may scrap at this point.
 
5 here...not because I don't want to turn them in or because I'm lazy but because I'm broke. These remaining 5 apps total about $285 in sec app fees 😱
 
17 here! Hope this would make you feel better
 
still sitting on Georgetown and UConn....undecided about submitting...
 
I have serveral. I have a couple interviews coming up, so I'm not even sure that I am going to finish all of them due to $$$. I need to do: George Washington, Loyola, Rosalind F, Albany, and Drexel. I just finished the one for Rush last week. It was a bugger!
 
I have finished most secondaries in August EXCEPT one.

It's so hard to work on the last one... maybe I will work on it this weekend. 😳
 
OK and Stony Brook is just absurd!! The seconday question thread just said something about a question re: your most important non-medically related experience. No. Three questions, up to a page each 😱

1. In your opinion, what contemporary medical issue needs to be addressed in the US healthcare system and why?
2. What non-medically related experience has been most influential in your life?
3. In your intellectual development and preparation for a medical career, which non-science college courses have been most valuable and why?

It's nice to have a place to give them a better sense of me, but !!!

I am going to go post this in the secondary question thread....

I'm in the same situation. Maybe I subconsciously hate that last school. Are you an August MCATer?
 
Still sitting on UCONN...🙁 my bank account is depressed😱

Yes, I'm still sitting on this one because I haven't had a free week in which to write three one-page essays. And one of them bullst, too (needs of the US healthcare system, all I can do is mindlessly repeat what other people say! I'm applying to medical school because I want to become an expert, not because I already am one! /rant) My last non-science course was a decade ago! I've borrowed some books on the subject of my favorite lit class from the library, because my notes hit the trash can years ago...
