do they screen their secondaries?
I just got this today. I submitted my AMCAS on July 4th and still not verified... so does this mean tufts sends secondaries to everyone even before their primary is verified?
nodo they screen their secondaries?
do they screen their secondaries?
anyone else having problems with the character limit and saving? Mine is going berserk.... When I have like 100 characters it says 1000!
It's not unheard of at other schools. Not sure about Tufts though.
Ok... I'll see what everyone else have to say.
Anyways, does the photo have to be one in which you're professionally dressed? or Does it really not matter? Because I was thinking of dressing like I would if I were going to a tufts interview so that afterwards when they're reviewing my profile, they'll be able to recognize me easily. What you guys say?
totally applying and got the secondary via email invite today! 3 days after amacs was submitted.
me. no need to write a why tufts essay, i never believe in that strategy, if they wanted that, schools would ask for it like many do.Anyone leaving the optional question blank?
1000 chars or less if answered yes
1. Do you wish to include any comments (in addition to those already provided in your AMCAS application) to the Admissions Committee at Tufts University School of Medicine?
2. Do you consider yourself a person who would contribute to the diversity of the student body of Tufts University School of Medicine?
lol i dare someone to answer no for question #2
And MCW. And SLU. (And I'm pretty sure there's more. In fact, why isn't everyone using it? So easy to use.)I like how whoever designed the Georgetown Secondary Webstie also did the Tufts website lol

i think like 10 schools ive filled out have used this format, its so damn awesome, should petition all schools to just use this...especially schools like boston who try to make stuff as confusing as possible lol.And MCW.

Working on Tufts...MD application submitted + MD/MBA + MD/MA
Need to do MD/MPH still.
Who else is doing combined degrees or the Maine track?
it means certified, i.e you submitted you 2ndary app and certified the 2ndaryHmm in the top right corner of my app it says "MD Application: NOT YET CERTIFIED" when I've been verified for more than a month? Anyone else having this issue?

most people leaving #1 blank?
i wish the character counts were a bit higher and i would do some lovely cutting+pasting from previous essays 😛
for question 2, anyones character count ridiculously high? It says its 1768 while in word its 999....i copy and pasted from notepad and it still says its 1768...wth
yes, i had the same problem when i was using mozilla. now that is switched to internet explorer, everything works fine. good luck!
hmm but none of my other 2ndaries had that problem...does that mean my formating is messed up on everything ive done?yes, i had the same problem when i was using mozilla. now that is switched to internet explorer, everything works fine. good luck!

Ummm that is for the secondary dude... you have to submit to get that to change.
They mean the secondary.
I left the diversity question blank. I think they are asking if you are a minority and can add to their diversity in that department. Was that dumb of me? I submitted it before I read this forum, and now I'm having regrets...
Id say it was dumb as everyone has something to add. You dont have to be black or a minority to add diversity. There are many socioeconomic and other factors to add in that can equal diversity. Theres a billion ways to spin this essay but everyone has something to add. By not filling it out you are essentially saying there is nothing interesting i can add to your class, im typical and have nothing that stands out. Thats my take on it anyways. Maybe its not a huge deal? Only an adcom at tufts would be able to tell you for a fact if thats true, but id say in the future always fill out these essays if possible. I do agree somewhat with the guy above who said strong stats could override this, furthermore, I wouldnt worry as you already submitted. Just move onto the next 2ndary and hope for the best.I left the diversity question blank. I think they are asking if you are a minority and can add to their diversity in that department.

So I filled out my diversity essay and can see it under "preview" but there is no formatting whatsoever. It is just a block of text. Is it supposed to be like this or does anyone know how to add a new paragraph? Nothing I try in notepad or in the textbox seems to work. Thanks in advance.
Also, even though I'm turning this secondary around in one day, it does not mean anything if my primary isn't verified and my LOR are not in yet right? I mean there's no point in not submitting it if it's done but is there any benefit to it?
If anyone is having issues with the field still registering characters when you've deleted everything, try hitting Ctrl+A, then Delete to get rid of all the macros (if you've forgotten to paste from notepad and tried MS Word first). I had that problem for Creighton's app...don't know if that's what Elijah05 and others were referring to, but for future reference it might come in handy.
