Please use this space to write an essay in which you discuss your interest in the Yale University School of Medicine. (500 words)
arent questions like so silly? why do we want to go there? well, he*l! we just want to go somewhere. ugh!
i have ~300 words, think that will be ok?
I'm at 550 words, but since there's no actual word counter, I'm going to leave it as it is. It's a standard 5 paragraph essay and it doesn't look or feel any longer than a 500 word essay. (What do you guys think? Is it okay to exceed the suggested word limit by a smidge?)
I've found the admissions office at yale to be extremely kind and responsive. I would write and ask, I bet they'd answer today.
I finished my supplementary yesterday, it feels so anal to have done that. Thanks for all the info you've shared on this Shemarty.
"If you wanted to leave it at 550 words, that would be up to you. The requirement is no more than 500"
Hmm... I don't think they're actually going to count all the words, but now I feel like I should shave off 50 more words.
Hmm, yeah, sounds like proceed with caution.
Okay, I managed to take off 50 words. I guess if I want to go to Yale, the very least I can do is follow their instructions.
where did you get this prompt.
is it online?
I just got this e-mail from Yale. I actually submitted the Yale secondary yesterday, so maybe this e-mail is because of that. But it doesn't sound like it. It sounds like AMCAS sent my primary to Yale and Yale sent me the auto-secondary invite. I'm confused.
What do you guys think is going on?

"Thank you for applying to the Yale University School of Medicine via
AMCAS. You may now submit your online Yale Supplemental Application... If you have already submitted your Yale Supplemental Application, do not
be concerned. It has not gone astray. This e-mail is sent
automatically to all AMCAS applicants in the order in which AMCAS
transmits data to us."

I submitted the secondary yesterday but am not amcas verified yet, and I didn't get the email. Evidently AMCAS is transmitting early...which is kind of cool for you early submitters.
when they ask you for activities, did you guys list your hobbies?

hmm yeah, my amcas is verified but i did not turn in a secondary yet so i guess amcas sent primaries out alreayd? but then what about the other school secondaries? and for amcas, did most ppl have 15 activites? or more like 8ish-10ish?..

I also got that email, but I am still waiting for AMCAS to verify my application. I assumed the email from Yale was just a result of making an account on their secondary webpage... (I haven't submitted my secondary yet either)
Just wondering-- how are clerkships graded at Yale?
Since yale is not a rolling admissions school I am going to take the time to really do my homework before I write my essay. I would feel more pressured with a rolling admissions policy. There are already a lot of wonderful things about the school and I'm sure many people are applying to yale for similar reasons.
I still haven't sent in my photo or my LORs
I don't have a decent picture that I can use, so I need to go take one sometime soon. I'm also still waiting on my last LOR to show up at my school's career center.
