This thread is a great idea! I'll bump this one up and start on a couple now 🙂
 
Did you guys already get the invitations for filling out the supplementaries or you just making a list of URLs?
 
Looks like a list, I have been working on Creighton and Wash U today.
 
beware when working on the creighton secondary....it is still for entry into the fall 2004 class

Probably will be very similar. What do you think?
 
i imagine many of the questions will be the same...no harm is starting....just remember to transfer them to the 2005 form when its available

no invitations, just making a list to get an idea of what the secondaries are like and to hopefully start working on some of the more difficult essay type questions that are on some of them! 😎
 
Is this Columbia app for this year? Because it is a mini AMCAS. I heard they switched over this year...maybe I wasn't suppossed to fill all of this stuff out.
Anyone know anything?
 
i am not 100 % sure if columbia's is for this years. however, it did say that an amcas id was required in order to start the secondary, and this is the first year that columbia is using amcas, so i suppose yes.

That is what I was thinking. Also, before it was up, it said that it would be available starting 6/15. I guess they are trying to smooth out the kinks between the old and new ways by having this complicated secondary...

Thanks everyone for adding to the list, and Dr. Thom for keeping it tidy! 👍

I want to get to started so that I am not overwhelmed later this summer 🙂

Nice work...I still don't understand why they even use it with an app like that.

I was going to add this to the list but when I visited the website I found out it is a screened secordary (no party crashers ahead of time). Keep searching though, you might get a cookie.

When you go to this website, click on the link for Secondary Application Instructions underneath the Guide to Admissions heading instead of the other Sec. App Form link. This way you can get the info and required essay topics, etc. But beware, it's still for 2004 apps.
 
The links with the elipses are dead because the ellipses cut out part of the URL. I'll go and find the links myself. It's good to know which ones are out, though.

Thanks.

Yes, this happens during housekeeping when the list is cut-and-pasted. I usually went back and repaired the broken links and I'll do it again next time there is an addition.
 
Is the Columbia secondary pissing anyone else off? Why oh why do I have to re-enter all of my course work? Keep in mind that I have 4 years undergrad, 4 years grad. Ugh! I hope that this is the worst of it 🙁

out of state with a 30+ you will get a secondary
, that is only real screen...in state people have to get 8 7 8 at least, with a certain gpa...but no one on here is a cheesehead but me and akpete
 
adamj61 - congrats on completing and submitting your first secondary. 👍 did P&S already download your primary amcas application, or did they notify you to complete the secondary via email?

Also, does the Rush link work for anyone? I was unable to create a new user account. I'm guessing it's because they haven't made it available yet?

You'll be able to create a new account starting july 1st
 
adam...did you sent another set of transcripts to Columbia? I sort of got the impression that they wanted a transcript sent to them.
 
I just talked to Columbia on the phone today, they said nothing about extra transcripts. I do need to mail letters and a pic to them. She said everyone who has an ID number can apply, so get it in!
 
what kind of letters? just the LOR's?
 
LOR are needed seperate from the online app. They also told me to submit address changes over mail.

Also note, my secondary at Wash U was accepted (only $50!), so they are ready to rock and roll.
 
Hiya everyone..

just a note..i just tried to do some work on my supp. for COlumbia and there is an error on the page. just giving a heads up..

~L 😕
