I know EV screens but I believe you can access the secondary here if any one wants to get a head start

Anyone know the character limit on the prompts, listed below? You can fit as much as you like into the pdf form, but there must be some restriction based on what shows up when you print it right? I got about 750 to show up before the boxes started scrolling. Is it actually more or less?

Thanks!

Does anyone know if EVMS averages multiple MCAT scores or if they take the highest or lastly most recent?

When was your primary approved? And did they contact you at all prior to receiving the secondary?

I was verified by AMCAS in early June. I received no contact from EVMS prior to today's e-mail. Like last year's rejection, it came from no earlier contact.
 
Got the secondary today OOS.

I had some issues with putting courses in since I had some lectures that included lab, some pre-reqs on the quarter system, etc, and you can't proceed with the application until all pre-reqs have information filled in

I called the admissions office and this is what they had to say:
-For quarter sequences, put the first two quarters of the sequence for semesters 1 and 2
-For one semester intensive laboratories, put the same course in for both semesters
-For lectures that include lab, put the same course in the space for the lecture and the lab

They said that they will verify you have completed all requirement on your AMCAS in addition to your secondary application.

Hope that helps anyone in the same boat as I am!

Just saw your MDapps prof..you got an invite to Pitt!? Amazing! At undergrad here and its seriously the best location/school/hospitals. Wouldn't even worry about EVMS if you have a chance here 🙂
 
I cannot proceed past the in-state portion of the application. This portion is to be completed ONLY by in-state students; however, without filling it out, the application will not proceed to the next page.

Please help.
