I'm not sure if anyone else is having difficulty separating paragraphs, but I found that by inserting this in place of just pressing "return" will give me the desired newline character:
<br />
I am placing two of these between paragraphs.
Good luck to everyone!

Received secondary today. Don't think I've ever had a secondary arrive on a weekend before.
So, it seems a few have received the secondary now, huh? Looks like my break will be over soon...
About how many words is 25 lines supposed to be?
my first essay was about 18 lines and it was 1100 characters.
This is a pretty beast secondary. Since they are not extending II until September, probably going to hold off on doing this right now.
Wait, so if we didn't get one now, we won't get on until September?
I have this same question, and also, does AMCAS Letter Service make sure our names and AMCAS ID are on all our letters of rec that we uploaded through them? Because I'm 100% sure my letter writers did not put my AMCAS ID on my letters...
Not too high. I got one on the 19th, and I'm pretty average. (Check my MDapps.)

I'm going to guess that they started sending them out bit by bit later this week, and that no one will get anything today. Probably will start seeing a bunch more tomorrow. Their screens are very low for secondaries (maybe 3.0/25 variety).
If they were uploaded on AMCAS (and not interfolio) it shouldn't be a problem. The AMCAS ID on the letter is mostly so AMCAS can identify which application to upload it to. Schools don't care so long as it gets sent to them by AMCAS.
Submitted just now.
Not too bad of a secondary at all IMHO.

How long were your essays? I'm just wondering how you figured out what "25 lines" should be.
Ugh, is it so hard to just give us a character or word limit...
Agreed, although, if you press "Print my Application", then the application comes up. I had like 35ish-40ish lines when typing it in, but the printed application had like 25ish.
I keep on seeing references to this "Letter of Recommendation Inventory Form." Where do we see or fill out this form? Is it available in one of the later stages of submitting the secondary? I'm confused, I would appreciate some help.
This is what my status says:
As of today, Sunday, July 22, 2012, your application status is:
Application status:
We have received your supplemental application. We ask that you please allow at least one month for downloading letters and completion of your file. Thank you.
I interpret this to mean that no further action on my part is required. The references to a letters inventory may be some legacy reference to a recently changed application procedure?
So I guess there is no LOR inventory form? If anyone else knows of such a form please let me know.
Before you submit your secondary the last page is the LOR inventory form. It asks you to select between committee letter or 2 science faculty + 1 non-science faculty.
Oh got it, thanks.
When did you get it? I still haven't received the email..
I got mine on saturday morning. Weird, I know.

So on question #9, where they ask if we permit them to notify our academic adviser of decisions on our application, does anyone know if we are penalized for answering "no?" I'm a non-trad and it just seems a little strange/irrelevant to me to notify my academic adviser, who I rarely used and don't even know if they are still the adviser at my school.
Thoughts anyone?
Thoughts anyone?
I've always said no on this, and I would HOPE you don't get penalized. I don't think you would though, I think universities might just like to hear where some of their students end up, so medical schools will ask.
I haven't gotten it, but for those who have it, how are you answering the "diversity" question. I have plenty of experiences in that regard, but I'm using it as an opportunity to talk in general about my volunteer experiences. However, I feel like that's not what the question is asking for, and I'm wasting time talking about my volunteer experiences when it's already on the AMCAS. Any advice?
Answering that was pretty easy for me. I spent a summer in S. Africa studying and volunteering 😛

Just received the secondary 🙂
I am having the same issue. Has anyone dealt with this?
I use a windows PC and originally the file-selector that pops up defaults to uploading GIFs. I had to change the dropdown to make it show "All Files" in order to select my jpegs
I answered NO on my application last year and didn't have any problems. Don't worry about it.

Me too
Has everyone received the secondary that applied for one?
I have.. The email address that sends them has the word auto in it and I got mine on Saturday morning, so I'm going to assume it's computer generated. I'm sure yours is coming!

Glad to hear, sorry you had to wait so long.
Guys for the next to last prompt, did you write significantly less?
I found it hard to fill up even 15 lines, and I read up on some ethics and discussed both sides etc.
I had 22-25 for the first 3...
