I actually went over 25 lines according to their text box even though it's less than 25 in Word. But everything else was only 10-12 lines.

Duke...very longshot i think.

How much are you guys writing for each prompt? 25 lines for each seems pretty ridiculous.

Quality over quantity.

Write everything you want to say, and if it's over 25 trim it down, if it's under 25 don't worry about it. Or paste everything that could possibly be relevant from other secondaries, and then trim it down to under 25.

I'm assuming they mean lines once you print it out, as that's what they're going to see. While the field you type/paste into makes the margin look like 4.5", it's actually going to be close to standard when you print it out, so just count the lines with standard margins in word. You can double-check in the print preview before your do final "submission."
 
Anyone else find it odd that the Assistant Dean for Admissions and Recruitment for Loyola is a JD and not a MD?
 
I finally got this one, but the attachment doesn't work for me on firefox or IE. anybody had similar problems?
 
just got this one today...conveniently when i was camping in the middle of nowhere alaska...not looking forward to it...by the way when i went to pay it says error please try again later...idk if it will go through eventually so i dont want to keep trying it but i want it to go through...anyone else have this problem?
 
still haven't gotten this one. do they screen/ what do they screen at?
 
I finally just got this one today a few minutes ago! So they must still be sending them out.

Is anyone else having problems getting to the application? I already paid the $75 but it won't take me to the application, it just keeps showing the screen where it asks me to pay.
 
ya i got the supplement the first thursday they were giving it out, and submitted it the monday after,

I just got a complete email from them, I think were the first batch of reviews.
 
The admissions office sent me an e-mail indicating that my file is now complete and under review...
 
I still didn't get one. Does anyone know what they screen for?
 
I'm pretty sure their screen's fairly low. By skimming through MDApplicants, the lowest score MCAT who received a secondary was a 24 and the lowest GPA was a 2.6.

Rest easy...they're just sending them out in batches - your's will come

It kidna sucks not to have it because now I'm put in line behind a bunch of people who already got it and got it complete even though I got my amcas in early enough that I should have it by now.
lame

agreed...i dont understand the hold up. i've been verified w/ letters in for over a month.
 
I noticed that this year's "complete/under review" e-mail no longer has a three week window for an interview/hold decision.
 
Why have I not received this? Loyola, what happened?...!

i know this has been said a million times...

but holy my god this thing is a beast.

this is probably a stupid question...

Do I mail them the application that it forced me to print out?

Yes, and do not forget to sign, fillout, and include the Evaluation Inventory Form...

Good luck!
 
So I am working on the secondary...I don't have any research...what are people putting for the question: 5. Please describe any self-education, research, or independent scholastic work have you undertaken and what do you feel you have accomplished in this work.

Can I put study abroad if it was a structured program? Or how about studying for the mcat??? hahhaha

You've never taught yourself anything? An instrument? Attempt at a language at least? A hobby?

yeah i guess. i mean i played an instrument in high school. i learned spanish when i was studying abroad but it was sort of in a class so does that count? i mean i learned it speaking it with my host family etc so i guess its not totally structured...
 
Hey Guys

So I managed to complete the secondary last night but could not print it because I had no printer available. I figured I when I get to work this morning, I would simply access the app and print it. Anyways, I am told I can no longer access the d*** thing. I did not know once I submitted, it is automatically not available. Advice on what to do, thanks.

My browser crashed before I could print mine. I called the next day (they're open at 9:00 CDT), and they reopened my app to let me print it. (708) 216-3229

Thanks Bryson. Glad to know I could call and get access to it again. Phew... dodged the bullet on that one.
 
can somebody list the essay questions?

i'm trying to pay the secondary fee but they are rejecting my credit card.

dangit. They require letters from ever school you attended?! That sucks. Don't have those, won't even bother with this secondary.

It also states that you can write a letter stating why you do not have a letter from a school (if they cannot provide a meaningful evaluation).....I had to do this because I attended a school for only one semester about 10 years ago.

you actually have to write a letter for that? 😱 i took classes in diff community colleges for two different summers and it just doesnt make sense to need letters from them =/

EDIT: i dont have this yet so it really doesnt matter now 😛

Did you transfer from them though? If not, you don't have to write a letter or get a LOR from them. Stritch's instruction packet clearly states "If you have transferred during you undergraduate career, ...." It is highly unlikely that taking one or two classes at JC qualifies.
 
is loyola a highly ranked school? if it's really highly ranked, i don't think it'll be worth it for me.

can anyone share with me why they want to go to loyola? (basically, what makes loyola unique/awesome? please convince me to do the secondary)

i've completed 22 secondaries already, and i really don't want to write 7x25 lines worth of bs....

my stats are okay, i'm a reapplicant, i'm from california and don't have an overwhelming urge to leave...or to pay for a private school....oh and one more thing, i'm lazy =P
