+1 These are piling up! :scared:

EDIT: Prompts below:
If it was not included on your AMCAS application, please list your entire curriculum plan for the 2013-2014 academic year. If you are not currently in school, please briefly describe (in 100 words or less) what you are doing now.

All these 1000 character and 100 word essays are so darn limiting
 
Received and submitted today!
 
Submitted!

They really don't change the prompts much from year to year.
 
Hey for "briefly describe your health related experiences", did you all just write one big list? 100 words is challenging to say the least...

Yup, plus the low word counts kind of make these essays "don't say something stupid". It's hard to fit anything overly profound into 100 words.
 
So jealous of you submitting the secondaries! Emory is one of my top choices, but I'm still not verified 🙁
 
submitted. Echo bauman's sentiments in re not saying something stupid
 
Just submitted. The deans, students and facilities at Emory are really amazing. The undergraduates at this school are super friendly too 😉
 
Does anyone know if the adcom reads the dual-degree essays, or do those just get forwarded on to the School of Public Health?
 
Does anyone know what the maximum of LORs they accept? Do they accept a minimum of 3? or do they only take 3?

If I recall, I remember seeing 3 as max on MSAR. Please let me know so I can decide on whether to assign two more LORs to Emory!!!

From Emory's FAQ:

How many letters of recommendation do I need?
Applicants are required to submit either:

One letter from a Pre-Health or Pre-Medical Committee; or,
Three letters from individuals, two of whom should be your professors in the sciences
We strongly suggest you submit two letters from the professors who taught you in the hard sciences (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) in your undergraduate or post-baccalaureate education or from someone familiar with your research and knowledge in the sciences.

If you are unable to submit letters from two science professors, you may substitute letters from other educators, advisors, or employers, but keep in mind that Emory is an extremely competitive school. The Admissions Committee will look for applicants who demonstrate a sound knowledge in the hard sciences, prior to attending medical school, and are able to provide recommendation letters to attest that knowledge.

May I send additional letters of recommendations?
You may submit additional letters of recommendation, but keep in mind that the Admissions Committee may not be able to read an excessive amount of letters. Please limit additional letters to just a few.

Looks like extras are allowed, but they might not look at them from the sound of it.
 
anybody know if the prompts are the same for MD/PhD applicants?
 
Does anyone think 118 words is too long for one of the approximate essays?
 
I got an invite to complete the secondary, but submitted my secondary a few days ago. Has this happened to anyone?
 
submitted, big up for my home town atlanta
 
i got the complete email....but my health committee letter hasn't been sent yet...i added some addition letters though that did arrive.

Hey Guys,
I've been verified since 7/11 and have still yet to receive a secondary or even an acknowledgement of receipt of my primary. Anyone else sharing my boat?

Sorry to hear that. I submitted 7/12 and have a secondary.
 
OOS, AMCAS verified 7/17, Emory secondary received 7/18. From what I understand, Emory only sends secondaries to those whose AMCAS were verified.
 
For those of you who have already received a completion email from Emory after submitting your secondary, how long did it take for you to get the email after submitting?

I still haven't gotten a completion email even though my last letter of recommendation was received on 7/2, and my supplemental application says submitted, and my fee was submitted, but for completed, it says "not at this time. Is anyone else having this problem?

OOS. and I've been verified for almost two weeks.

Wondering if I should call.

You sure you're not mixing amcas submitted and verified up? Sorry to ask but I just realized that I have been, oops. But I would call, it wouldn't hurt anything 🙂

Yeah, I'm sure. I submitted 6/14 and was verified 7/11.

I sent an email tonight. If no response by Thursday I'll call.
 
Just a heads up - it's Orientation week for the M1's.

The same people who do Admissions are heavily involved in Orientation, so everything goes a lot slower for you all this week. By Monday/Tuesday of next week, there will be a flood of completion emails going out.

Same thing happened last year.

Good to know! Thanks Snuke!
 
Not a huge fan of Atlanta, but absolutely love Emory. So excited to apply 🙂
 
Same same. They must've just reviewed a bunch and mass emailed everyone at once. :laugh:
 
ewelling, is the prompt the same as last year's? If not, would you past the questions please? Thanks!

JK, someone already did, sorry!
 
Got the complete email yesterday! Anyone been invited to interview/how soon after does this usually occur? Those who received invites, stats?
