My AMCAS was verified on 7/10, and I have received secondary invites from everywhere I applied but Loma Linda... How long after verification has it generally taken to receive a secondary invite?
Is this a question from the secondary application? If so, why? If we do drink alcohol and do not see the problem with it, should we state that in our response? I am Christian 100% yet I do not see the harm in moderate alcohol consumption. Some docs even say that a glass of wine a day is a health benefit.
Does LL screen for secondaries?
I called and they said they will not interview until December. 🙁
I applied to Loma Linda this year because I think the values of this institution coincide strongly with my own. However, I am from Utah, and I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons), and I hear that applicants from my demographic do not have much success getting into this school. Basically, I am wondering if I am wasting my time applying here because they may consider my religion to be non-Christian, and/or competitive with the religion of the institution. Is this an issue, or should I go through the application process and see what happens?
Do you think it would be good or bad if I mentioned in my secondary application that my grandfather teaches at Loma Linda?

With regards to "diversity" . . . original class of 2006 here, we had blacks, latinos, asians, and whites, 40% SDA, mostly other christians, including Roman Catholics (not just protestants), some mormons, and atheist or two (don't know if they were completely honest with the application) and two openly and accepted gay guys (and I suspect a lesbian, but if she was gay, she was closeted to my knowledge) - a good number of non-trads too.
I don't remember anythings about sexual activity with regards to policy at LLU when I was going there. It never came up actually. So maybe they have changed something, but until I see otherwise, I think this is a "SDN urban ledgend".
While their take on other races and cultures is indeed encouraging, sexual orientation is noticeably absent. So everyone is equal in the sight of God except those who are not straight? Since LLU was one of my top schools before finding out this information, it would be wonderful to find that my now-negative conceptions about the school are indeed misconceptions. However, although I am straight I have several gay friends and family members, and I could not live with myself if I went to a school that did not view them as equals in every way. Based upon LLUs policies, I must say that it looks like I wont be applying here 🙁.
I'm all about equality and have gay friends myself, but I must agree with this statement. Don't apply if you don't like.Simple: just don't apply if any of that seems unpalatable.......If it doesn't appeal to you, stop complaining and just don't apply. It's a private school that can run itself the way it wants to even if you or I do not agree with it.

Does the college require an ethics or religion class? If so, do they want to see that you have taken it before when you apply, or can you complete it before you get into medical school?
Could someone please post the secondary prompts? Thank you.
So this may be a dumb question, but how do we know when our application is complete? Mine was submitted on 7/25 and all LOE's and such have been received, but I'm looking for an email or section on the status page that says complete, but can't find it...
Is it bad if we put down that we do not attend services of a church or religious group and that we have not religious affiliation?
I received an email from the adcom saying my application was complete. It's the second complete email I've received so far. They said when my file is reviewed, I will be notified by mail.
LLU hasn't received my letters yet. I submitted late last week. How long does it take?
Just to recap: Interviews start in Dec. if you do not got to a SDA college (invites sent in Nov.)? Otherwise, interviews start in Sept. if you go to a SDA college? Correct?
