Does this school give silent rejections post secondary or can we expect to hear a definite no

i have a 3.53 and 3.29 ..same mcat exactly so we are pretty similar applicants
 
Math minor? Props to you. I was math first, and Linear Algebra kicked my butt. I should have been psych from the get go, I like it a lot more, and it is a lot more applicable. I also have more fun in this major.

it was tough to finish it and it def hurt my gpa more than it helped my application but hindsight is 20/20 i guess haha I wish I had started with applied physiology & kinesiology instead of biochem
 
one of my top 3 schools. 3.5/33 URM non-trad. Gods of Pre-Allo, please grant me an II!
 
Just submitted the secondary (woot!). They say we can expect to hear anytime between July and...March? Haha. Good luck everyone!
 
I was complete 7/6 but I haven't heard anything yet. My stats are pretty high relative to the school's average, so I hope they don't think I'm applying as a safety -- the location is great as an IS applicant and I love their emphasis on getting faculty who teach well.

Fingers still crossed 🙁
 
bulls fan here?

jokes aside, have they started sending out invites?
and also, do they put you on hold if youre planning on retaking the mcat?
 
I have a question about filling out courses, and this applies to some other schools' secondaries as well. Quinnipiac requires 1 year of English, but I placed out of Composition 1 and was placed right into Composition 2 my freshman year. I didn't take AP English in high school, though. So technically, I have one semester (or 1/2 year) of English. Any advice on how to fill it out?
Thanks and good luck to all!

BTW I'm a Nets fan (lol born and raised in NJ)

Hello,
You have a couple options.
1. You can call them up and just ask them what they prefer. I'm sure some schools are more lenient about their academic requirements than others.
2. Most schools care about the credit you got on your transcript. Do you have credit for both English classes (total of 6-8 credits)?
3. If you are still in school and are a senior this year you can always pick up an easy English class to fill the spot in.

Good luck!

URM? I've been freaking out lately because of my MCAT (29 12p/8v/9b) but my GPA is 3.93c/3.98s and have very good ECs and LOR. Non URM here.
 
Have any of you guys gotten complete emails?

Mine says the application is complete on the online web portal but I didn't get a complete email.

I am not URM. I honestly wouldn't worry now and just try to be patient. If you look through last years threads, they gave out II as late as March.
 
So for the first question, are we just supposed to what field of medicine we are interested in? So if I'm interested in EM, do I say that and state my reasons? I've always thought you weren't' supposed to speak about a specific specialty.

So I wrote about a specific interest in oncology and global health and what I could want to do with that. I know that it was really specific, but they asked for how I envision myself. I know people get worried about not writing primary care for quinnipiac, but I got an II, so I think they just want you to be honest and have reasons for what you want to do.
