Still haven't received a secondary.
I actually enjoyed the essays. I write more quickly when the prompt is an interesting challenge as opposed to a formulaic "Why X School" prompt.

The first prompt basically was a "Why X School" prompt though.
But I agree about the second prompt, when I finally got to thinking about all the health professions and how they make a "team" it wasn't too bad and I wrote a page relatively easily.
is the only way to check our application status to call/wait for an email? anyone have any idea when we should start hearing anything?
my insides are churning with anxiety..

Me too! I worked really hard on this secondary so I would be ecstatic if I heard any good news..
Just submitted the secondary! This was my last one, it feels good to be finished
Finally submitted this...only took two weeks. The second essay sucked. I don't think mine turned out too great but I decided it was time to just submit it. I think my first essay turned out okay so hopefully that will help.

Is the Chicago Medical School Vision different from their admissions vision?
Chicago Medical School Vision
To be an outstanding community based medical school with excellence & innovation in medical education, scientific discovery and clinical care.
Admissions Vision
Matriculate individuals to CMS who become physicians serving diverse populations globally and locally, addressing issues of health inequities through interprofessional teams.

I assume you are supposed to write about the one that popped up next to the text box.
Haha. You're a radical thinker for sure. I agree.

+1 Got the same e-mail today
+2, submitted secondary 8/14.
They're working on it. Be patient. Patient.
It's early in the process. This school gets a crap ton of applications. Take the opportunity to relax until the end of the summer before invites start rolling in.
Does anyone know how receptive they are to in the area e-mails? I have an interview at Northwestern on September 27th 🙂
Worth a try, but I don't think anyone was successful last year
I just realized it said initials for the submission... This may be a silly question, but will they screen me out if I put my full name instead?
I would be shocked if this had any bearing whatsoever (they probably won't even look at it).
Only if your name is Mohamed Atta.
Send it. If you're going to get an interview here, they may look at it and try to give you a September interview date close to the one you have. MAY. Just be polite and make sure your letter asks for a concession so that you don't sound entitled.
If you're not going to get an interview here, then send them as many letters as you want; it won't change your lot.
Stop panicking. Listen to this entire song seven times and come back once you're feeling more calm.

I got it too, and that's exactly what it was. One step closer!
Complete email date?
I was complete 8/1 as well.
Aug. 1st!
I think I got small pooled too.. holy sh**.
Hoping an II will be coming along soon..
Also complete 8/1.

Also complete 8/1.
Those of you small-pooled already, where are you located regionally? No need for specifics, but I'd be interested to see what that looks like as their class profile shows a slight preference for mid-west students..
I'm from the mountain west, although I went to school in the mid west. Not sure if that would have made a difference though.
when were you complete?
8/1

Also received an II 🙂 small pooled yesterday too
For those with interviews, did you get a choice of 3 interview dates in mid-late September?
Does anyone know how many people interview each day ?
EDIT: Also, perhaps some med students can share their interview experiences too? 🙂

Yup! Got a choice of 3 dates. Anybody going to be there on the 16th?
I opted for the 23rd. The link they provided about travel recommendations has some good hotels and ways of getting to the school - just a heads up
Does anyone know how many they accept? According to MSAR: they interview 632 and 190 matriculate - which is 30% (not bad). But of course, I'm sure they accept way more than 190
