Yeah, this one was a whale! Took me all day and part of today to complete it.
Try not to fret too much; I haven't gotten mine yet either. It seems from these threads that you and I get our secondaries a little later than others; I don't know if it's our stats or position in the alphabet, or what.

Yea it was just this one and UIC for me. All other secondaries have come on time, so I am guessing it is just coincidence. All we can do is wait 🙂.
When they say "Passport Photo", do you think they actually require a white background, neutral expression, etc??
maximum allowed number of characters is 2000. if you write more than that, a message pops up
Rejection Email Received 🙁
rejected too. sometimes i wonder if any of this effort is ever goign to work out for me. this process has only just begun and i already feel like i'm being bullied.
I'm having issues with them receiving my primary application from AMCAS. It looks like it is going to delay my app a bit :\ .
Sorry to hear that 🙁.
Sorry to hear that 🙁.
How did you find this out? Did you email/call?
I had to call. They said they never got it, AMCAS said they sent it when they sent everyone else's. I'm just happy I caught it this early. Imagine if I didn't use SDN- I would've been delayed way longer.
Hmm..but I wasn't verified until 6/28 so probably still too early for me to call and check..
Same. I haven't even taken the mcat yet, so I assumed they would just put me on hold like all the other schools.
Yes, probably. I was verified 6/2, so I was a bit worried. FYI: they get applications every Tuesday via a hard copy sent through the mail.
i found it very interesting that wake and vcu would screen me in but not evms. is evms a very virginia friendly school?

Wake screened me out, but got the EVMS secondary yesterday. I wasn't aware VCU screened.
EVM screens out OOS applicants with below 30 MCAT.
Are you sure that this is the only criteria?
not sure if this is the only criteria but below 30 mcat is one for sure.
Not True. I got the secondary. 29er representing 😎
Good luck to all who are still waiting on a secondary!
My god man. How does one get verified so early. Your sense of urgency is unmatched.
Haha- check out the verification thread- some people were verified within hours! I submitted on 6/1 around 1.5 hours after the system opened up for submission. I wouldn't say that I have a sense of urgency; more so, I am determined to get everything in early to maximize my chances.
How much is the fee for EVMS?
Ugh, you have me worried now. I was verified on 6/1 at 11:30 am, and still no secondary... I've already tried emailing their admissions office with an unrelated question, with no response, so I guess I'll have to try calling, though I'm willing to bet they're only open during the hours I'm at work. Sighhhhh
I think it is clear that there was an issue with AMCAS getting the primaries to them. It's definitely a shame. Hopefully it gets resolved soon.
I called and left a message. I tried calling over the course of an hour or so, and kept getting "all circuits are busy" ...SDNERS FLOODIN THE PHONEZZZ?!!?
Haha, I only got through once, either Verizon or EVMS had too many calls. I'm no monster! But you probably did create 320582308 small SDN freak-outs like mine 😛 But it's a good thing to find this stuff out early!
That it is. All we can do is stay on top of things. Everything else is out of our control.

sorry to hear that. was this pre-secondary?
wait what is your ethnicity? I personally called them and they said 30 below are rejected.
I am white... 😕
Idk if it matters but my GPA is above their 90th percentile, maybe they consider both.

I got a secondary too, also a 29 on MCAT, OOS
+1 Representing
solved?
Would have been nice to know there was a character limit BEFORE trying to submit my long essays. 😡
from msar, $100
how is everyone missing this??? my post above clearly says there is a 2000 character limit

Well, in the thread the numbers 750, 500, 2000 and 2500 have all been floating around. So I wanted to get a concrete answer.
Thanks for the help
For those of you that were rejected, what were your stats? And why do you think it was? I have a slightly less than average GPA, and haven't taken the MCAT yet :/ I am hoping that I do well enough to at least avoid getting pre-screened out.
Also, since I haven't taken the MCAT yet, my primary app probably wont get looked at until the scores are recieved, is that correct? How long after your MCAT did it take to recieve your scores?
