Is there anyone who was verified in early July that still hasn't gotten a secondary yet? I received secondaries from all of the UCs almost immediately except for UCLA...
alma - mater, verified 6/29, nothing yet besides receipt email...
Same here and I'm a california resident. Maybe I should give them a call?
Me too! What's going on??
would any of you start pre-writing the essay questions, if you were almost caught up with other secondaries?
Still no secondary, verified 6/9/12 with high stats and IS. Should I give them a call? I received the receipt email.
Were/are you an undergrad at UCLA by any chance?Still no secondary, verified 6/9/12 with high stats and IS. Should I give them a call? I received the receipt email.

.What's everyone doing for "What has been the ONE most unique leadership, entrepreneurial or creative activity in which you participated?"
I'm debating between my teaching experience or a book drive that I ran. The teaching experience isn't really 'unique', but it would involve leadership/entrepreneurial/creative aspects, and I've been doing it for nearly 8 years so its pretty significant. Besides the "where do you see yourself in 10 years" question, I don't mention teaching/tutoring elsewhere in the 2ndary even though its been a big part of my life.
The book drive is more 'unique', but isn't nearly as significant. What do you guys think?

Same here. Got secondaries from all UCs except LA!
Teaching is clearly a bigger part of your life, and something you would be able to talk more in depth about in your secondary and when you potentially interview. Based on that, I would go with teaching!

You sure your stats protected you from auto screen? 9 in verbal is quite low for UCLA
Does anyone know if UCLA is still sending out secondaries? I received the "AMCAS received" email a while ago, and have been verified since ~6/10. Stats are high enough to avoid auto screen out, and am a CA resident.
Last secondary left and a top choice, has me worried!
They just marked that they got my letters of recommendation. Does this mean they plan on sending me a secondary or am I reading too far into this?
They've had my LORs since 8/2 and still haven't heard from them, I think you might be reading a little too much into it.
Does anyone know about the English pre req. I emailed the admissions office over a week ago to ask if a writing intensive class could substitute. No answer.
Anyone else have an answer to this question?
One year of college level literature and composition. Writing I and Writing II courses, select general education literature courses, and any upper division English literature or English Composition courses will satisfy this requirement. Please see the English requirement for health professions schools sheet for a complete list of suggested courses. These courses will prepare you for the Verbal Reasoning and Writing Sample sections of the MCAT.

I didn't ask that exact question, because my situation was minorly different. But I think they screen out any pre-req questions, so feel free to call them, they are quite nice.
But you can take a post-bacc English course at a CC to fulfill this requirement prior to matriculation. So if I get interviewed/accepted... I'm going to love taking a freshman English class at a CC.
I just feel awful saying "no" on the secondary to "have you completed a year of college English".
Anyone still waiting on secondary here? Or is it something like a silent rejection if you still haven't gotten one yet (AMCAS complete 7/17)?
Have you received an email with the subject "Medical School Application Receipt" from David Geffen UCLA yet? I believe everyone gets that email first, so if you haven't received that email yet, they probably haven't processed your application yet.
Has anyone received the secondary in August? I don't see anyone rejoicing about getting it this month, maybe they send them out in really big batches? *hoping*
I don't even understand why they care if you've been to college in England.
Me too. Hate to waste my pre-written essays
The lack of secondary from UCLA is really tanking my spirits. One of my top choices and I might get rejected pre-secondary.
I don't think it has to be academically related, though it can be. I wrote about a position I was elected to and how I was honored my peers were confident in my abilities to fulfill that role.For those that have already filled out the secondary, how did you guys answer the "most important honor" question, generally speaking?
It was under the scholastic area of the secondary so does it have to be academically related? Anyone take a different approach?
