I'm sure you know this, but NEOMED accepts 0.2% of its OOS applicants.
Not sure if this would help, but there are major public health issues in Ohio right now that you could address in your secondary/interview.

Are the prompts the same as last year?
They are the exact same as they were last year, 2000 characters max.
NEOMED's secondary is nearing NYU and Duke level of difficulty, damn.
Could you please share it? Thanks.
1: Provide a specific example of how you promoted diversity in your community
2: “A social justice approach should be central to medicine and utilized to be central to public health. This could be very simple: the well should take care of the sick.” – Paul Farmer, M.D.
“Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in healthcare is the most shocking and inhumane.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
How has your view of social justice in medicine been influenced by a specific experience or activity?
3: A physician does many activities during the workday. What physician activity will be most meaningful to you? Provide a specific life experience that affirms the meaningfulness of this activity.
2000 character maximum for all three questions

Me no likely this at all...
I haven't received a secondary yet either. When did you submit your AMCAS application?

Are you applying through the ED program?
I just received the secondary about an hour ago! And no, I'm not applying through the ED program.
Just added this school! Really excited about it! IS applicant!
I just added NEOMED yesterday on AMCAS, and I just received the secondary.
I was verified on July 10th…still have not received the secondary. Anyone in the same boat? IS applicant 30 MCAT 3.95 BCMP
Im in the same boat guys….verified on july 10th. Still no secondary
I would definitely check with them. I was verified in June, but I just added NEOCOM to my schools on Wednesday the 23rd and I received the secondary the next day on the 24th. I'm an IS applicant as well
I wonder if they go based off time of verification rather then when they are added…not sure if that would make sense or not. Maybe they just don't like me
Any update from them?
Nope! I am not sure what step to take next.

I'm assuming the character limit is 2000 for each of the three question prompts, not total...?
Each.
I don't want to sound too forward, but would you mind telling me your MCAT? I wonder if they cut me out because of my 30 which would seem unusual.
I have lower than that and I got a secondary the day after I added the school on AMCAS.
Just called them and apparently if your letters are not yet at AMCAS they will not send a secondary…that is my problem. Hopefully it ends up working out for you!
ah thank you! that helps!
Wow....... No wonder.
I know its a bit early, but has anyone received an interview invite from them yet?
I think NEOMED operates on a later schedule than most schools, so I doubt it
Yeah, they give interviews to those who applied through the Early Decision Program first. They hear about interviews around late August- beginning September, They interview in September and find out by Oct. 1st. And usually interviews are given to non-ED applicants right after. So most likely thee very earliest someone we'll hear about interviews is mid to late September.
Also I called about the supplemental application because I also have not received it yet and am waiting on a LOR... The one lady said just go on the website, create a supp account, and start filling it out. But dont submit it till after the LOR has been sent in. But I guess in the end , it doesn't matter too much since we know the prompts already.
Got an email giving updates. They said they are starting interviews in October. It was a complete and under review email.
Same - keeping this train going. I hope regular interview invites are sent out soon 🙂

Just got that email too...
Same email here too. I wonder why they are so far behind the other medical schools...
I got the email too. And when I spoke with them on the phone, I got the impression that they didn't even start looking at regular-decision applicants until early admissions was complete, so I think that would explain the timing
Ah...I didn't realize so many people applied EDP
Yea I'm not sure if they do, I've just always heard that NEOMED runs on a later schedule, and I was surprised when I hadn't heard anything from them yet so when I recently called they said that they would be reviewing regular decision applicants for the first batch of interviews soon. They can probably afford to start interviewing later since they get relatively less applicants. Just my guess
