I submitted my secondary on July 4 and was just marked complete this morning.

Also, my picture is cropped. I cut someone out of it (from a poster presentation) but you can't tell there was another person in the picture. If they rejected me over a cropped picture that would be weird...but an excellent story haha.
 
Anyone having issues logging into the application page? I've submitted and received the complete email, but when I tried to log in earlier today, it said I hadn't made an account yet.

Mine is working fine
 
I can't login to the secondary application page at all. When I type the url, it simply won't load any webpage. I haven't submitted yet, but I would like to complete it today. Is anyone else having this problem?

Just type, "I have nothing new to report right now" or something like that.

But is it normal for most people to have nothing new to say or am I missing something?
 
Hello! So I am writing because I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else. I received an email from the multicultural medical student affairs saying that they are encouraging me to apply. I am assuming that it is because I am Colombian-Iranian but my statistics are nowhere near the school's averages as I have a 29 mcat and a 3.9 gpa.. I'm just wondering if there is an actual chance I would even get looked at or if this is a routine email they send to everyone.

If you're on the med-MAR (which I am assuming you are--you sign up when you register for the MCAT), it's a standard e-mail the school has sent to a bunch of people within a certain score range. I'm a URM on the med-MAR and I've gotten a few e-mails from diversity committees (etc) at a range of schools encouraging me to apply. Take it with a grain of salt. They know nothing about you personally besides your score and your ethnicity. If you like the school, you should just apply. There's no guarantee they'll interview you and I have friends who were outright rejected pre-interview by schools who sent them recruitment e-mails. Your MCAT is ok, particularly since you're URM. I think it's worth the gamble. You can never really tell what's going to pan out.

I think you should be fine! I just emailed them and the lady checked my photo. she said " lovely photo. you should be just fine."
LOL I guess as long as you are not wearing bra or bikini in a bar you should be just fine! 😉

Was your photo outdoors? Cropped?

Just curious because the photo I have been sending to schools is outdoors, in front of a tree, but I'm wearing professional attire and it's from the waist up. The background is blurred, so it's not distracting.

Got the same email. Stats a little lower than yours, but all the same.
I'd go with with the other person responded with.
 
Still no secondary from Emory. Does this mean I am up for a rejection? AMCAS verified on June 18th. Yet to receive MCAT scores.
 
@RT14 do you mean your MCAT scores have not come back yet or Emory hasn't received them? If it's the former, some schools don't send out secondaries until they get your MCAT score. This seems especially likely since I believe Emory has a minimum MCAT cutoff.

Thanks! My MCAT scores have not come back yet. I expect them next week.
 
Can someone post link to the applicant login for supplemental?
I am pretty sure I received secondary invite but I think it got lost in the spam folder...
 
Are there others who haven't received a secondary? I can't find anything in spam or trash or inbox. AMCAS verified 7/7/14, MCAT>30 GPA>3.8. Shouldn't have been screened out I don't think. Still waiting on LoR's but that shouldn't hold up the secondary should it?

I'd give them a call, don't want to wait too long for interview spots to start filing up,

I am wondering if any current med students can shed some light on what it's like having the medical school on the same campus as the undergraduate school.
Click to expand...
Undergrad hasn't started back, but I can imagine traffic will get pretty bad. I ride a bike, but with the CDC, Emory, and EUH all on the same road, I see a lot of congestion on the roads. I'll try to remember to let you know my impression of the combined campus when they get here. PS all, I couldn't be happier at Emory 😉

There's mandatory attendance at Emory right guys?

Does anyone know if they still do not record lectures? I know there has been a student run transcript service.
Click to expand...
Mandatory-ish. Only when patients are present in lectures, at small groups, and few other such times. Lectures are not video recorded, but the transcript, audio, and learning objectives are covered by current students and the year prior. Also, so far, class has been great. They are very big on making class a valuable use of time IMO

Anyone know when II's will start coming out?
 
Emory does have an MCAT cutoff. You need to have at least a 27 overall and no lower than 7 in any section
 
To me evaluating two sets makes it seem like they view them as separate scores and do not take the best subscores

I keep trying to access the secondary app link to check my status but on all browsers I've tried it states the page is not available or just stays frozen trying to download. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

I'm having the same problem. I've tried on IE, Mozilla, and Chrome. Nothing works. Let me know if you get it to work!
 
Has anybody had a problem with the payment? I go to it and it says it cannot be processed at this time. I tried yesterday and it was the same problem.
