Does anyone know when they start interview regular decision applicants?
 
hey guys.. any insight on the last question? trying to figure out what to put for "realization of your professional ambitions"
 
Hey! Has anyone had any problems getting the site itself to work for the secondary? I have been working on the essays from the prompts posted on here, but I can't get the page to load. I'm on Internet Explorer and a PC (because it's what they suggested) but I can't get it to open. There's not even a sign in page.

So for time between interview invite and completing your secondary, do people think it might get a little shorter since they just started sending invites to non ED applicants? Just submitted earlier this week finally and know it's going to be a while but having a general idea might help make the wait less stressful!

Good luck to everyone! Love this school, went there for undergraduate and the campus is really nice and continues to get better every year. Plus they're the best football team in the nation. 😉

When was your status "preliminary review complete" or something like that. Mine has been "application under review" for over a week. This wait is killing me.

It doesn't have any other status after application under review unless you do get an interview and then it says interview invitation but they send you an email for that
 
its probably gonna hurt my chances if I never shadowed a primary care doc, right?
 
I just emailed 70 primary care docs at my school to see if I could shadow them
 
Finally submitted my secondary! Ended up re-writing some of it (read: all of it LOL). Like many of you guys, this school is my top choice so wanted to make sure everything was perfect. Hopefully they won't frown on the fact it took me a little over 2 weeks to submit it.

Do you have any clinical experience (volunteering, work, etc.)? I never shadowed but I have worked in the ER and also volunteer at hospice

Oh gotcha.. then yeah I would try to get some shadowing in soon. I'm not sure if it'll hurt your app, but if you indicated you want to go into primary care they'll want to know why you decided to go into that field
 
there doesn't seem to be a good place on the secondary to talk about ties to FL...argh!

Interviewed Monday. Accepted this afternoon! I was a reapplicant Early Decision, but I also waited a year to reapply, so my LOR and additional experience was pretty solid by the time I submitted my application in June. Best of Luck!
