secondaries

I will be out of the country from July 3-July 19th without electricity or access to my email. My application was verified June 8th. Will this mess up my timeline of applying early if I am unable to submit or write secondaries during this time? When do secondaries typically arrive?

So I have a specific interest in global health policy and management. I intend to pursue an MPH and indicated as much for several schools on my primary (I'm hoping it won't have some sort of negative impact on my likelihood of getting an interview). While filling out secondary applications for...

Hello all, I am just wondering whether it'd be okay to write about my relationship with my boyfriend of 15 months if I ever need to, e.g. on a secondary prompt that asks about difficulties interacting with people / learning to embrace differences? Is it a big no-no, or is it allowed in...

So I'm perusing through the supplemental applications of the schools for which I've submitted my primary and I notice a lot of questions that I very clearly and specifically addressed in my work/activities. For example, I'm working on one supplemental that asks: " Are you currently volunteering...

Hi SDN! I am starting to pre-write some secondaries, and I have a question regarding the common "challenging experience" prompt. Some schools ask "what has been your most challenging experience" or "describe a personal challenge". Do you think in general it's okay to talk about an experience...

I submitted my AMCAS on June 10th, and just found out today (June 14th) I had a first author paper accepted for publishing to a major journal. I didn't make any reference to this in my app, so how do I update schools on this? And how early is too early? I imagine I can do it mostly in...

I didn't think this would be cause for concern given how early I submitted (I was thinking that maybe schools took a little while in June to send back secondaries), but my friend said I should be expecting a lot already. Thoughts???

Hi all, I'm planning out my secondaries and I know that one of the common questions is concerning the biggest challenge you have faced. In high school I was raped and struggled for years to come to terms with the trauma that occurred to me. I sought out therapy, got an emotional support dog...

Hi everyone, I took my DAT 2 years ago and got a 17AA. I've been studying to retake it August 2 or July 28. First question, does it matter which of these days I take it? Second, should I submit my app before August so I can get the supplemental apps out of the way? Will schools look at my app...

Just wondering when secondaries normally go out for osteopathic schools? I understand the cycle opened in May, and I've already submitted primaries. I haven't received any secondaries yet.

Hello all, I am applying to MD schools this cycle with an arrest record, although I was never convicted I was charged for a few things. However, I had them dropped through a diversion program. I am aware that schools ask different questions regarding criminal background on their secondary...
