[AllThatRacket]

[Ruby109]

You guys are my favorites! Keep the support coming!! 11 done, 11 to go!

 

[sundancing]

Can you imagine how good it's going to feel when we are done with all of them?! For me, I can come home from work and actually relax which has been unheard of the past several weeks.

[ADAUC]

[ADAUC]

17 of 17?? im on 8 for 10 received 🙁

 

[trailblazer518]

Submitted 20 MD so far.

 

[zdoc9]

Does anyone know if 3 LORs is the max amount? (4 if you took a yr off in between college and med school?)

 

[Osteoth]

how many have you all completed so far

13 sent, 7 more on the docket.

 

[Ace Khalifa]

how many have you all completed so far

Completed 16 out of 22 I applied to. All submitted within 1-2 days of receipt except one that needed 4 days. Currently waiting for the other 6. No rejections pre or post secondary yet. No II's yet.

 

[sunflower18]

I haven't gotten any rejections either! So that's a plus haha 🙂 I wonder when rejections start going out. I think most probably silent-reject, but I haven't made a list or anything.

I heard U Chicago makes decisions fast, including rejections.

 

[hoihaie]

22 completed so far.

 

[blackkrim]

Completed 7, have 7 more to do so far. I'm writing them in batches and taking my time with the essays. No sense rushing this early in the game.

 

[JingleChips]

I'm at 17 received and submitted so far too, waiting on 8 more for a total of 25

Exactly the same as me! 😀 Waiting for Drexel as well.

 

[Omppu27]

To anybody freaking out while reading how many secondaries these guys have completed, don't worry, I'm right there with you... 🙁 In my defense, I haven't received too many.

 

[kl0117]

5 sent out of 11

 

[AdventureDub]

18 sent and submitted! averaging about 2/day and waiting on 5 more

 

[Ace Khalifa]

LOL I think it's silly how Drexel thread became the "Updates on secondary receipt and submission" thread.

Sorry I got us started on that.

my bad haha

 

[kl0117]

I don't mind I want to know when the secondary is out

 

[pink/\floyd]

13 sent, 7 more on the docket.

12 sent, 8 more to do -_-

 

[bumpbumped]

7/20. I am slow.

It gets easier after you write a few essays, trust me. Your turnaround time will literally drop from a week to a few hours.

Yeah! It's starting to pick up. I'm starting to cut and paste old essays into new essays. It's just hard keeping everything straight so I let them sit a day or two before rereading, editing or need be, and submitting them.

 

[AspiringERMD]

20 sent, 2-5 more to go, depending on possible pre-secondary rejections from Wake Forest, Indiana, and UCSF. I'm so glad to be almost done. My wallet isn't.

 

[AspiringERMD]

Was wondering how late I am in the process if I'm still awaiting to submit my application to AMCAS? I'm waiting for two rec letters to be received as well, I don't want to submit the application if this one science professor forgot to write me the letter (i've emailed her and no reply twice now).

Also, my stats are on the lower end of applicants OOS (3.5 cGPA 3.2sGPA, first MCAT 25, retaking in september). I have about 100+ hours of volunteer work at an outpatient pharmacy in a hospital (and growing), 50+ hours of volunteer work at my parish, 8 hours of volunteer work for Alliance of the Great Lakes, and 5 hours of shadowing an ophthalmologist (the dr. really liked me and seems to be offering me a technician job this week).

On the whole what do some of you think about my application at face value?

You should probably post in "What Are My Chances" once instead of many times in school-specific threads.

 

[ridiculysses]

8 sent, but still a bunch left 🙁

Didn't know there was such a thread. Thanks

[stickshifthonda]

Where oh where did my secondary go?

 

[minion16]

Has anyone received the secondary? My AMCAS was verified on the 15th, but no secondary yet! 😵

 

[DrPotter]

No secondary yet .......

 

[Dr Turkelton]

Come on Drexel this is getting a bit excessive...

 

[Ruby109]

Last year they didn't send out the secondary until early August so I think we've got some time.

 

[halfwaycrooks]

I usually love the summer, but this whole process is making this one less enjoyable. I'm ready to finish secondaries, chill for a bit, then check my statuses and email obsessively.

 

[virginiayankee]

Yea between working in a lab all day and then going home to write secondaries, this has definitely been my least enjoyable summer.

 

[stickshifthonda]

Yeah, I'm definitely going to be working on secondaries on vacation but such is life. We're going into a field that requires dedication, odd hours, and putting others before yourself!

I'm thrilled I've made it this far in the cycle- it takes mad organizational and planning skills to get this application together!

 

[funtertaining15]

Only school I have yet to hear from. Just confirmation that they have my application would be nice. I'd like to be done with secondaries before school starts.

Thank you for making my day. I still have...4 more schools to submit for, but I'm not complaining, really.

 

[keevwu]
