Once your AMCAS app has been verified and sent to GWU you can access secondary here:
https://portal.smhs.gwu.edu/AdmissionsOfficeWeb/
(i havent had verification yet, but I found the link so figured I'd help out those who already have verification). Please send essay questions to the rest of us who are waiting to be verified 🙂

We have to wait until AAMC sends our info to GW. But with GW they might notify you that you can do the secondary even if you aren't verified.
GWU will email you with login instructions after 27 June. Mine came last year on 28 June, but that's a Saturday this year so you may have to wait until 30 June for the email. Either way, you'll know when to get started 🙂
Are we allowed to be in more than one track program? Or are we only allowed to take one?
You can't be in more than one. You do have time to sit in on track lectures for more than one program to help you decide, but ultimately you have to pick one.
yo @talinnlove do u think for the 1st question we can answer it in the form of a list or paragraph, i haven't received the secondary yet, but I'm prewriting.

This is n=1, but I opted for paragraph format since this is technically formal writing. That said, it's a small amount of space, so don't worry about writing an introduction sentence or anything.
Secondary Received.
Lol haven't even written them yet
This question: "Please provide the Admissions Committee with a brief summary of your activities, academics, employment or other occupations to account for full-time activity (approx. 30-40 hours/week) for the 2014-2015 application cycle, or from the point of application through matriculation in 2015. (750 characters)"
Does "academics" account for being a student? Should I seriously mention that I spend over 40 hours a week on school work?

Just got my secondary and submitted it! 🙂 Gotta love schools that don't change their prompts.
That's what it says on the website!
Yes it's on website
Submitted a while ago... I find it quite interesting that this was sent out on a saturday evening. Anyways, thankfully I was in front of my computer (i.e., on SDN) so I could submit it. Where did my life go, lol?
me, too!
Submitted!
Probably because if you're willing to cough up the $125 to give to their school, they really don't care what's on your app yet.
submitted! 🙂
Yeah, I don't think GW screens your primary before sending the secondary...

I agree. I'm strongly considering not completing and submitting this secondary and fee.
Well, I know you're supposed to submit secondaries within a week. But in this case, it won't be considered late if we don't submit today and just wait until we're verified, right?
Might as well get on it now while you probably don't have too many on your plate.
