when did you get the UVM confirmation / UVM secondary invite?

I didn't get either!

I wouldn't worry. At least one person got it two or three days ago. I got mine an hour ago.
 
In general, I think a lot of schools are sending their secondary invites in waves. This makes sense technically, because I'm sure their servers would be completely overloaded if they sent thousands of secondary requests at once.
 
My application was verified last Wednesday and I applied only to UNMC early decision. I have yet to hear anything from them yet...is this normal?? I am starting to get a little worried, but maybe it takes 2+ weeks to send secondaries out for EDP? Deadline for early decision program isn't till Aug. 1st anyway. Thanks for the help!
 
Just a heads-up for those out there applying to the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. I just received an invite to their online secondary application, and the following appeared on the cover page:

"Application Processing Fee
In compliance with a decision by the Wisconsin State Legislature, the application fee will increase from $45 to $56 as of 12:01 a.m. CDT, September 1, 2008.
If you submit your application on or after September 1, 2008 you will be charged the $56 application fee. "

Their deadline for secondary applications is December 1, but this might be a bit of incentive to get this secondaries in early (or at least before Sept 1)... every dollar counts in this process...
 
any info on duke and boston u?

also, since Wayne State U screens...does anyone know when they start sending secondaries?

much appreciated
 
The Duke website looks brand new. Perhaps they will release their secondary app soon? No word from Tufts or Harvard yet. Good luck to all.
 
Does anyone know if the secondary from Keck School of Medicine is automatic or screened?
 
I got Mayo's secondary last night at like 2:37 am

It was just a payment of 85 dollars.
 
Second weekend in a row with no secondaries to work on. 🙁
 
Anyone else get the EVMS secondary... I got it yesterday and it's just been there

Wow, nice that you finished all of the ones you got! I've got a really hefty backlog right now. More than I can count on my fingers, and all with school-specific essays. Best of luck with the rest of them!:luck:

anyone know the pixel resolution for 2 x 2 inch mug shots/passport photos
 
Hey yall, I saw on Aecoms website that their secondary will be available on July 16th.

They also raised their price to 115 dollars.

So for schools that already have the secondaries up without invites should I start filling those out or wait for an invite?

Anyone have opinions on this?

115?!?! who the f*ck do they think they are? NYU?!
 
Boston U sends out their secondaries without screening, so I think everyone gets it, it's just a matter of when you get the email. My AMCAS isn't verified yet, but I got the BU secondary about 10 days after I submitted AMCAS. The secondary has only 2 essays, both optional, and the questions are at the beginning of this thread. Costs $100.
 
Is anyone getting tired of writing secondaries?
I finished a bunch really quickly (half).. and now I'm getting tired
I want to take a break, but I can't
 
is 5 days a bad turnaround in general? for Georgetown? Cuz that's what I'm looking at cuz I got an extended family function for the past and future couple days... >.<
 
One week is a fast turnaround 2 weeks, I would say is still fast, but bordering on average.

ditto.
i'm trying to keep a turnaround time of about 2 weeks, but it's getting harder and harder.
hang in there 😳
 
Keep working everyone! The faster we get these done, the faster we return to being only marginally neurotic SDNers!👍
 
I think it's officially "mid-July", so I'm crossing my fingers for Duke, UCLA, and UCSD secondaries this week. 👍

I think UCSF and Vandy will be a little bit later, and I haven't called Stanford or Harvard to ask for an estimate yet.
 
Duke's website says they will begin reviewing apps on July 15th... so that would suggest that we should get the app by the 15th.

From browsing the threads from last year, I believe Stanford is not out till early to mid August...

I emailed Harvard yesterday about an estimate.
 
Hey,

do we know if they update/send stuff on weekends? Like, is there no reason for me to be compulsively checking my online status at various schools during the weekends?

I'm pretty sure they don't update anything on weekends.
 
What's really wierd though is that I received the BU secondary on Saturday.

Aw.. I was hoping it would be this upcoming week because they had told me mid-July when I first asked awhile ago 🙁

Ah well, more waiting 👎

VCU updated on the fourth. All it takes is one AdCom working at home who has the authority to make updates/send emails/post secondaries. Not likely, but it could happen.

I only did fall. I don't think you need to list spring courses unless you are planning on taking a pre-req in the spring.
 
Toledo's secondary is available online. I haven't received an e-mail telling me to fill it out, but it is there for 2009 applicants. Exactly the same as last years...

The English requirement sucks for me... I am going to wait until Wednesday for an official invite. Otherwise, I will start it Thursday.
