$50 - The secondary is online, but they do include a picture request form that you can submit by post or email. Good luck!
 
Hey guys,

I hope the application cycle is going well. I just have a question about the final page on Morehouse School of Medicine's secondary application. The section about a faculty appraisal is completely new to me. I asked a couple of my friends that are med school if they knew what that was. They all said no. Could someone please help explain as to what is expected from the faculty appraisal? Essentially, what is the faculty appraisal?

Thanks

They mean letters of rec. Option A is for a committee letter, Option B is for three individual letters, and Option C is if you're a repeat applicant and you submitted letters to them last year.
 
@parachichi do you know what option to choose for committee letter + individual letters?
Ooh umm, no I don't know. I think they're expecting applicants to send either a committee letter OR three individual letters. I guess if I were in your shoes, I'd choose Option B and list out my recommenders' names. But you can always call and ask!
 
can someone explain how they submitted their picture? I am very confused...
 
@MD/DO_2016 do you know if there is a way to upload the picture directly, without printing it out and pasting it? Like just send the file directly through email?
