I wouldn't panic about this if you have already submitted your secondary online OR already received an email with a working link. I am just relaying what I received....so it is probably just a recent change.
 
Does anyone have a clue what size it needs to be? I submitted my application and will send my money order tomorrow?

Good luck everyone. 👍

Could you please let me know where the picture form can be downloaded or how to get it? Thank you.
 
Got another email today re-inviting me to fill out another secondary and pay ANOTHER 50$... They're now using the same portal as Meharry.

Anyone else get this? I tried calling but the number is disconnected? Lol?

EDIT: Called again later today. They said their ENTIRE old system messed up and everyone will have to resubmit a secondary again...

I have FAP too so I resubmitted. If I didn't have it though I'd feel awfully fishy about paying again...


btw, my non-medical friends nearly died laughing when I told them i qualified for FAP. XD

I received email from Admission office asking to redo secondary application. However, the email states that MSM received my application fee and there is no need to pay it again.
 
I just got the supplemental thru email that we are supposed to redo.
Anybody get this message when trying to save it to their computer.
"data typed into this form will not be saved. Adobe Reader can only save a blank copy of this form"

WTF 😕

Yep. I believe everyone must re-submit. You can type on the form then print it out but cannot save. So keep your print out!
 
Yeah but Brandon the person who emailed it said to send it to him through email.
so we are supposed to print it and snail mail it now??
 
How long does its take to receive a secondary invite? I submitted my application 7/11 and it was verified 8/17. It's still early and I am waiting for MCAT score next week, so I guess I shouldn't be overly concerned. Or should I?

Print it out then scan to your email. Then email the scan to him.

Don't get too worried. It's still early. If October rolls around and you still haven't heard anything, then I would be concerned! LOL! Good luck everyone!
 
did anyone else have problems with # 12 about why you want to attend morehouse because I am having trouble typing it in correctly
 
I just typed mine in Word then copied and pasted it to the space provided. Didn't have a problem at all.

Im also having the same problem as koliver4, when I copy and paste mine from Word, it only shows up as one line of text so anything beyond my first sentence is gone. Tried it on my Mac and work PC and neither is working. Did you use Adobe Reader to fill it out?
 
Yea that's exactly what's happening to me have u emailed Mr. Hunter I did earlier but he hasn't got back to me yet
 
Just got an interview invite. Actually I got to two, one telling me to go on "Friday 9/22" (9/22 is a Saturday) and another telling me to go Friday 9/28...

Haha wanna give me one?
 
Still no word from MSM. I bombed my MCAT, so I don't expect much out this cycle. Good luck everyone.

PS: I guess I shouldn't say it like that. I will remain positive! MSM screens right?

i got an email saying that their online system got messed up, and that I should submit a paper secondary that was sent via email. Is this the most updated info on the Morehouse app. Or is there old system back up and running, and I havent recieved an invite to fill their online secondary???

Thanks

They say it is back up and running I got a complete email.
 
Do they screen or send to all verified applicants? Thanks!
 
I still haven't received a secondary from them and I've been verified for over a month now. They're the only school I haven't received a secondary from. Should I email them? With my stats, I shouldn't be screened out...even if I was, shouldn't I get a rejection email?

Not sure what others would say, but I'd definitely give them a call..
 
You guys think I can snap a picture of myself (headshot), crop it to the right size and use it as a "professional quality photograph"? Or are they strict about the picture quality?

I haven't received a secondary. What I did for other schools: I fancied up, went to the public library and had my sister take pictures against their off white walls. I just cut it to the size I wanted or you can try and upload on walmart photo as passport size photo.

Do y'all think I should call about secondary? My MCAT wasn't great and I don't know if I would even be considered.



****UPDATE: Just called and was told my application is still under review and to look out for an e-mail soon. I'm interested in their MD/MSCR or hopefully MD and MS in Biomed Research.

Does anyone know how long it takes for them to review the secondary and send out invites. I've been verified for almost two weeks and I"m getting worried.
 
Just to be clear, Morehouse requires two pictures, correct? One for the first page on the supplemental and one on the picture form?

What is the purpose of two photos 😕

My secondary had no place for a photo...it was just on the picture form.


Photograph: One photograph not larger than 2 ½" X 2 ½". Please download the Picture form, attach your photograph and mail to our office. Please put your name, Social Security number, and AAMC ID in the appropriate spaces and mail to the indicated address. The photograph is of great value to members of the Committee and Admissions Office staff in recalling previous meetings with you or in review of your application.
 
Do we need to wait for a secondary invite to send LORs or can we go ahead and send them? I am being reviewed to determine if I get a secondary, so do you think it may help my case to send my LORs?
 
Got an interview invite yesterday for 10/5!!!

I was not accepted for EDP and thought it was over for me but it's looking good so far for regular admissions. MSM is my top choice so im super excited!!

Just when things aren't looking so good, it turns around quick so being patient and keeping faith will work wonders. Good luck to all!!

Complete for 'regular admissions' status 9/12
Interview invite 9/26😍

Congrats to you! That's coming up fast. Be sure to let us know how it goes!
 
does anyone know if we can scan the picture form and email it to them instead of mailing it?

From my understanding they want you to send the picture form by mail, but if you wanted to make sure you should call or email the admissions team. They are very helpful.

Hope that helps!

That may be what is holding your application up. They usually want the LOR's in the original screening. I sent my LOR's through AMCAS before i was invited for a secondary. They won't notify you of any missing material in your file so if you havent already,i would suggest calling or emailing Brandon Hunter to check on your status.
 
I called and they said that you can scan and email the picture form and photo, but if you have not sent it to them yet, it will not keep your application from being complete. He said your application is complete as soon as you send in the secondary. It's just a matter of them updating the system to reflect it.

I assumed most schools want LORs if and only if they decide to send you secondaries. When I get a secondary, then I send the LORs. I will send them now and e-mail him to follow-up. Thanks for the info.
 
II Complete 09/14 First MD invite!
 
I haven't sent my picture in but I was completed for them about 2 weeks ago. I wonder why it's taking so long to get an invite/ rejection.

My stats are 30R and right now I don't remember what my individual GPAs are but my cGPA is a 3.54.
