Submitted secondary 🙂. Hope I get in. anyways for organic chemistry i took 3 quarters, but i was only able to listen two of them (first quarter didn't have a lab but second one did), is that ok?
Let me know what they tell you, because I have the same prob.
Please and Thank you
For biology & chemistry -- I have taken upper level classes for both (for intro Bio, I used AP credit) ... Do I list upper level courses or lower level courses? I have better grades in the upper level ones lol
Was wondering the same thing... I took 2 grad biochem courses and did much better than in undergrad. Still can only list the undergrad course right?

I'm using it for a diversity essay.How do you guys answer this question?
What type of information could go here?
Optional: Is there anything you want the admissions committee to know about your qualifications for medical school that is not already represented in your application materials? Note: This space is provided for new information only, not to promote qualifications already highlighted in your other materials.
probably bothAlso is the second question more about explaining why you took time off or what did you do in your time off??

Chromealt, how is the first thing you said a gap (a "five years long program") if you say you studied for 5 years straight? I think #2 is what they're looking for.
I went with the actual year. Not sure though since the instructions aren't terribly clear.Does year mean freshman or the actual year (2011) that you took the course?
Mine's not visible too. Have you figured it out?Confused, my LoR are on AMCAS but not visible in the supplemental application? What should I do...?
Should I bother to say I'm currently in a gap year?
I'm taking a gap year too, so I'm just saying that I am and explaining what I'm doing during that year
Does Oakland accept Online credit? Trying to fill out my secondary but not sure if I should put my online biochem class...

YesIf i applied after graduating from university
as in graduated Jun 2013
applied to AMCAS Jun 2014
matriculate, hopefully, 2015
how many years off is that? 2 or 1?
does the application year 2014-2015 count as a year off?
I did essay 2 as strictly qualifications. Therefore, I feel that everything I had to tell about myself has been portrayed in my primary, and left this essay blank.A penny for everyone's thoughts (lots of pennies!):
For essay 2: did you guys use this as a diversity essay essentially? Or more strictly qualifications for medical schools?
For essay 3: when they say explain any gaps, do they mean time gaps, as in if you took any time off from school? Or is this a super unique new-gen way of saying please explain any discrepancies in your academic performance?
what do you mean by 'strictly qualifications'I did essay 2 as strictly qualifications. Therefore, I feel that everything I had to tell about myself has been portrayed in my primary, and left this essay blank.
Received secondary today as well and am verified.
I have a question regarding the prerequisite coursework. If I had 2 lab courses separate from the lecture component, how would I list that as there is only one row for the lab?
Is essay #3 just asking you to explain any time you weren't in school (e.g. gap year job), or is it asking you to explain odd gaps where you didn't do anything?

did you do the essay or no?
Yeah I had the same question. I emailed the admissions office yesterday, hopefully I will hear back on Monday about it. Gonna crank out these essays today. Best of luck guys!
Anyone know how if the second optional essay is a "only write things if realllllly needed" or is it truly optional?
haha feel weird leaving it blank!
Do we need a photo?
