I believe that's preferable. You wouldn't believe the incredible mix of talents and hobbies I have seen in the class of 2019. The key for me is that not only are they great in class, but they're people you really want to talk to outside of class as well.

for another perspective, i wrote the unique aspect prompt on explaining a W i have on my transcript.
congrats, when were you complete?
When were you complete? If you don't mind me asking...
Oh someone already asked. Oops.
Since they don't submit complete emails... (and it showed I was complete upon submission via checks): 7/29.
Does anyone know an alternative / cost effective airport other than Harrisburg? I'm not too sure how I'd get to Philly and back on my schedule (and I'm sub 25 so rental cars will kill me softly)

When were you complete? And LizzyM if you don't mind....
Best. Feeling. Ever.
yay II 8/18, IS, secondary submitted on 8/9.
PSU undergrad. 🙂 Anyone with interviews on 10/5 pm?

Congrats! Mind sharing your stats?
Here's my stats, 127, 124, 131, 128 (in the order of MCAT sections). Scores aren't everything though. I think they screen for those who are good fits for their mission.
I thought I would have never got any II with that unbalanced score. But so far I have got 2 IIs: PSCOM and WVU

I went and got myself a 0% apr for 12 months , I have pretty good credit, so if I get blasted with back to back invites I'm not scrambling. I think I found the best route (I'm working on the WC) which is JFK, hang with the fam over the week end, and amtrak it up 🙂
Saves approx. 2-350$.
im interested in applying here but idk how strict they are about the LORs. I am a non trad and will not be able to obtain a non science or comittee letter. Do I just explain my reasons on the secondary?? not sure what the separate letter to adcom is supposed to be
Hmm application marked complete on the portal as of 7/27, but no email or anything in my communication status tab. Should I call?
Sounds like a plan, thank you!
congrats!! IS? mind sharing stats?
If you don't submit all the required LOR's, your secondary application will be incomplete, and they won't even read your secondary essays. I suggest you call/e-mail the admissions office to see if they can waive the LOR requirement. Good luck!
Congrats! Did you ever receive a complete email?
I'm looking back at my email, and I honestly can't find a complete email, so I'm guessing no? I don't remember getting one either.
Ok thank you! I got a received email but never a complete email. Best of luck to you!
Meh submitted secondary 7/31... Guessing I'm a silent rejection at this point 🙁

Man, who else just cringes reading these melodramatic posts? Chill tf out man and stop making assumptions like you know how the process works from the inside out..

Oh please. That's not even melodramatic by SDN standards. Go check out some of the Caribbean or Post-bacc forums.
I don't go by sdn standards, I go by adult, normal life standards..
Cool bro. Welcome to the internet.
Last cycle, I submitted secondary in Oct, received II in Feb, accepted in Apr. Don't lose hope.
Lmao omg let people be dramatic if they want to be. What others consider dramatic might be normal for someone to feel and not dramatic from their standards. I think being encouraging to others will be a better way to handle their negativity, instead of calling them out and making them feel stupid!
Well ****. Nvm then.
I wonder how hectic admissions committee's daily schedules are during application season. The process just seems so random school to school.
congrats!! mind sharing stats and IS?
IS and PSU Undergrad. URM with 3.5 gpa and 501 mcat
It's still August man. Interviews run until the spring so don't sweat silence right now. At least I try not to🙂.
When did you submit your secondary? Also IS and URM with similar stats so hoping for some love!

Me too, oh so much..
Wonder if going to PSU vs Temple game Saturday will keep my mind off applications, or continually remind me I haven't heard back from either school.......Go State!
