Same here.
Same! I'm way too scared to put filler stuff though, so I'm just going to work on this bad boy first.
And to everyone who hasn't gotten a secondary, I'm sure they're just going out in batches, don't worry!
For the first question of the secondary, did you guys just write down a bulleted list of expected classes? Or did you guys contextualize your classes in a paragraph form?
Thanks!
Edit: And if a list is appropriate, should we include class numbers or just names?

Is the max # of LoRs really only 3?
I think you can probably submit additional, but it seems as if they wouldn't appreciate it very much. I would limit myself to 4.
For the health related experiences, does that include things like medically related research and health education? Or just clinical experience as defined on SDN?
I'm taking it as the former
this would only be for clinical, not bench research right?
Depends if your research has clinical/ health implications I would say. Bench research, but on disease processes... I would probably count that. Unrelated ecology research on lizard habitats or something like that... more of a stretch.
my research has health implications, I'll probably include it then! still haven't gotten this secondary though 🙁
@Dr. Retractor did you get yours?

FYI - MSAR lists 8 LORs max for Emory.
they don't pre screen though, I don't think that has anything to do with it
I read somewhere that the screen out below 27, but I can't find it on the admissions website anywhere now. @Softballgal96, where did you get those numbers?
http://www.med.emory.edu/education/admissions/md/faq.html#Applying_to_Emory8 says up here that they screen out anyone with under a 27 (or 500 on the new scale), or with any subscore under a 7 (or 123)
I haven't gotten a supplemental either and my score is fine. Honestly its probably a good thing, I'm already slightly behind on my essays anyway

At this point, I'm also behind, with a goal of getting one out a day. The more the med schools procastinate getting to me, the happier I am!!

No, not that I think they screened me out, just that they're sending it out based on stats. Like @heywhatsuphello said, I'm okay with it because I'm kind of behind as well.
Yay! My application was just processed today so let the waiting begin...
Ugh, another one in my inbox. If I don't open the email, does the 2 week clock not start?? I prewrote some, but not this one.
Means they will do with it as they please!! I have 2 scores, hopefully they will take the most recent, and see that the old one I took 2 years ago, and discount it.
The Emory ones are pretty short, I wouldn't sweat it too much!
Still waiting on a secondary... Fingers crossed!
I'm waiting as well. When were you verified/when did you add them to your AMCAS?
STILL no secondary omg.
They might be understaffed at the moment, their secondaries are going out in smaller batches that are farther apart than they intended I think. If you haven't gotten a secondary, my advice would be to sit tight because you'll be getting one soon.

This happened to me with Columbia but turned out ok in the end bc I had pre-written - I felt soooooo stupid though lol
Also - received secondary this morning around 10 AM PST
No worries, my first MCAT was a 26, second was a 34, and I have a secondary. Hang tight.
we are very nearly identical applicants mcat-wise. thank you for the info.
No secondary here yet. I am starting to think that MD/PhDs follow a different pattern for certain schools . ..This is the second school that it seems like a lot of people have received secondaries and I haven't in spite of pretty good numbers and June 4 verification with all LORs already in. If anyone has any different insight, I would appreciate it.
does having your letters turned in affect whether you receive a secondary (at this school or other schools)?
I don't think so, I guess my point is just that I have everything possible in place and am just wondering if the MD/PhD applications get looked at in a different order than regular MD. It is not that I haven't heard from anyone, but was just wondering.
Finally got this bad boy. Throwing it onto the pile 😕
I applied MD/PhD here too and still haven't received a secondary, so maybe Emory looks at these differently before sending secondaries?
just received my secondary, MSTP.
That's what I am hoping! Good luck!
Waiting for this secondary is truly a test of my patience!
just got it this morning!

Same, I listed my classes for the fall said I'd be graduating. Told them of an interesting trip I have planned and where I will be working after the trip.
