There is no formal essay on the secondary application.

Do they have a requirement on the number of science LORs?
I already created the 2008-2009 secondary prompts thread, and I'm creating a school-specific thread for each school (not just the ones I've personally applied to) so that I can link the prompt and LOR requirements back to the main index.
I know that it's particularly unnecessary for a school where there isn't even a prompt, but this thread still provides a place for people who have applied to U Penn to come and meet each other.
Sorry if you found it to be useless
UPenn doesn't screen, do they? I hope not - I'm looking forward to getting a secondary with no essays on it!
...neurotic SDN'ers would revolt.
It is probably unnecessary to start a thread for every school you have applied to (or many of the schools you have applied to), especially for a school like UPenn, who has no secondary prompt (just send money and press a button). A 2008-08 secondary prompts thread will probably be in the works soon enough (or may have already been created).
So does each school get it's own thread? Because if it does, I can't find the SLU one. Personally, I like having a thread for each school...
If it isn't linked in the first post, we don't have it yet.
sweet, thx for the clarification, but you didn't need to go through all that. I can see how individual threads may be helpful, but wonder if they will get lost in the mix, with all the medical schools SDNers are applying to. It's nice that you are starting the threads though.
PS: I am not trying to be a butthole, but I don't see that is irony....
So even though they haven't sent out emails I just wanted to include the website... We should be getting emails tomorrow about the password to log in with.

I picked the most "leadershipy" positions...hope they look at my other activitiesQuick question:
What do you think they mean by this question on the secondary:
Please check up to three (3) activities to which you have demonstrated commitment and leadership. (Your AMCAS application will describe your involvement in detail)
Do they just want us to pick the activities that we devoted the most time to? or had official leadership positions? or were the most important to us?
... are they only going to look at these three activities when reviewing the application? what's the point of the question?
I picked the most "leadershipy" positions...hope they look at my other activities
Yeah I had that debate and was torn by 4 activities... oh well.
They better look at my other activities, but it's fine if they view those activities as the most important to me... since they are.
Hey guys, I just submitted mine and paid for it... but, the submit button is still there. It looks like I didn't even submit it!
I didn't even get a screen saying "thanks for submitting." Is this normal?
Here is the link to the secondary.
I actually haven't received the e-mail inviting me to fill this out yet. I just knew that it was available, knew that they didn't screen, so I used the "forgot your password?" feature to have a new temporary password sent to me.
