Hey folks, how long is everyone's response to the "Why Meharry" secondary question?
I don't think so. It's the quality of what you write. My response last year was short, bout a paragraph an I still got an I interview within 10 days of my file being complete. Don't worry.PrAy
My AMCAS application is not verified yet 🙁 since I sent in a bit late..August 10.. I praying that they'll send me a secondary once my application is verified. Does anyone know if Meharry has a website where we can check our status? 😕
Everybody gets a secondary. So, you shouldn't worry about that. 🙂
So submitted my secondary like a week ago. Still haven't gotten a complete email. I wonder how long it takes to get one. They should have gotten everything. Anybody know?
I am complete and I did not send a photo. I thought it was odd because most of the other schools asked for them. Did I miss that part of the secondary for Meharry? I'm so confused 😵
The prompt is why MeharryStill waiting on my secondaries 🙁 I am new to the thread and haven't seen the prompt posted yet.
Can someone please post the questions from the secondary? Tnx
The prompt is why Meharry
reading last year's thread, it's looking like interview invites don't start until october. so maybe we should all relax a little bit.
why meharryHi guys. Anyone has the secondary app essay topic for this year. it would be very helpful. thanks.
I believe the five year program starts in late june while the four year starts in august. In june they give you basic biochem and such. I dont think its up to the applicant to choose between 4 and 5 but dont quote me on that. I have a friend who is doing the five year and she started in june.Anyone read up on the four vs. five year MD program?
I'm a newbie sdn so bare with me. Does anyone know why the medical schools require photographs of applicants as part of the secondary process? I just think its a little odd when each school claims to be "equal opportunity".
That's because they're not. They want to see what you look like so they can put you in a box based on the photograph. What else would they possibly do with a picture?
There are plenty of forums all about "equal opportunity" and med school. Trust.
America. Land of the free, home of the brave enough to blog on the internet about "equal opportunity," but not in real life.
to make sure that its you who comes for the interview and not someone else thats my theoryEqual opportunity? Thats a joke when it comes to applying to med school. Majority of the schools that I applied to require a recent pic, why else would they need it if it wouldnt affect your application. I am assuming that based on your pic, they can come up with certain conclusions about who you are and whether whats on your application is true or not. lol thats why I had a great pic taken at fedex, good luck to everyone!

some schools say its not required at time of secondary but will be required if extended an invite. so i think to just make things easier they want to have everything at once but i have no doubt that the picture might play a role but hey ppl are always bias no matter how much they tryBut if thats the case, then they would request a pic if you are invited for an interview. Most schools said that a pic is not required but "Strongly suggested", so they base part of their decision on the pics.
I took the MCAT today *Whew* I just wanna go! I don't care if it's 4 years. 5 years. 6! Hopefully not 6, but after blogging with some pretty nasty folks today, it reminded me that being a Meharry graduate would mean having all the assumptions that go along with the dreaded phrase: You-ARRA-EMM! Dun-Dun-Dun!😱
Seriously, I love this school mission. That stigma is one I would carry like a cape from my neck's nape. Just waiting to be complete. I believe, I believe, I believe!!!
May I ask what you mean regarding this stigma? I heard a few things but I am not sure.
