those that got interview invites, do you mind sharing your stats?
3.9 / 39

And you're sure it's not in your spam box?
Does anyone what days of the week Fienberg interviews applicants?
M/W/F if I remember correctly.
Thanks, one more questions if you don't mind. You were probably the first batch of II's. When is the earliest date that you can interview on?
II! So excited!
are the cut offs strict for the secondary? will it cut you off right at 250 words?
I also have not received a secondary. My AMCAS application was verified/processed on 7/9.

Sorry if you answered this already but did you check your spam folder? That's where the email seemed to have gone for a lot of people.
Still no secondary here either. Checked spam folder everyday and still nothing. Primary verified in mid July :/
Sent an in the area. Got a response. No dice ....
Worth the try. 😛
What did they say?
took 3 days for me, but be sure to check your spam folder because mine was hiding in there!Did it take a while to get the link to secondary once verified?
Hi everyone I just had a wanted a quick clarification on their policy on letter of recommendations
On their website it says:
"Your letters may be written by your college's pre-medical advisory committee, or they may come from three faculty members, at least two of whom are science faculty members, who have taught you."
This means that I can not include a letter of reference from my research PI correct? Because he has never taught me in an undergraduate course.
Two of them have to have taught you, so the third could be your PI. If you're invited for an interview you are also allowed to send in more letters.

Was just thinking about sending an "in the area" email a few days ago, but decided not to.
II yesterday!!! Complete 8/9! This is an absolute dream!
For all those who got interviews-
Did you guys all do the optional diversity essay?
Can anyone comment on how many interviewees are there per each interview day? And also, after receiving an II, does that mean we are allowed to add more LORs? Because on their website, it says additional LORs can be uploaded via electronically after receiving an II. Though it says on ''the day'' of the interview, so idk. Anyone?
Can any current FSM students comment on how they think a small bit of humour in the essay on coping strategies would be received by the admissions folk? Are they generally open to something of this nature? Or is the dynamic more formal?
THANKS, Y'ALL! 🙂
Humor is always risky. I think it would be okay if it's classy, subtle and actually funny... but it's hard to tell what other people will find funny. It's a coin toss.
I used blatant humor in my essay to UChicago. Rejected. Never again.
It may not necessarily have been your humor. A lot of well qualified applicants get rejected by UChicago. Though blatant humor is certainly very risky.I used blatant humor in my essay to UChicago. Rejected. Never again.
But then again, I bet it was not your humor that got you the full ride 😉Again it's kind of a coin toss. I used humor in one--first interview, first acceptance and a full ride.
I can't tell you anything about your chances (in fact, you should open a "What are my chances" thread rather than ask the same question in multiple school-specific threads), but the thing is, it's not only about the numbers. There is a lot of "numbers talk" on SDN simply because numbers are easy to compare. Unless you have terribly low stats (which you don't), you may have a chance at most schools if you have good ECs and LORs and a good personal story which you can tell really well.Should I apply my MCAT is low (30), but I have a 3.9 gpa from a big well known school? I am white. Also can anyone suggest top schools that I might have a chance at just not a waste of money reach school where I won't even get a secondary?
No, they don't screen, but, as you can see from this thread, it may take them a while to send a secondary.I just got verified on the 9th, I got my secondaries from most schools. Northwestern is one of the few I still haven't received. I've been checking the spam folder too. This is my top choice, so making me a little nervous. any idea on how long it takes after verification to receive the secondary from them? because as far as i know they don't screen.
