Up to last year this school didn't require a secondary, but things might be different with the new administration.
On the website, it says there is no secondary app, but they'll request LORs and application fee after the AMCAS is received. My AMCAS has been verified for almost a month but I haven't been contacted by them yet. How long did it take for people to get contacted?
I emailed them last week and they said they were not contacting anyone until September!
Ahh okay thanks so much for the info!
They'll send you an email requesting a $75 fee, transcripts and saying that you must speak, read, and write spanish. I don't know about the email. Maybe call?After sending our AMCAS application to Ponce SOM, what is next? Also, what email should I use to contact admissions? I sent an email on 7/24 to [email protected] with no response yet.
Basically.I am confused about Ponce's transcript request. Everyone needed to send AMCAS transcripts in order to be verified so shouldn't Ponce already have access to our transcripts? Basically, Is Ponce asking to send the same transcripts from AMCAS directly to their school?
They sent an email acknowledging that they received my app. I spoke with them 2-3 weeks ago and was told that they usually begin reviewing applications late september but with the new MCAT it's taking them a bit longer. I wouldn't be worried. Did you already pay the fee?
I did not initially recieve it either..
No actual secondary application, though! Just a fee.
Yep. Classes will be in both Spanish and English.
When is your interview? I'm interviewing on Oct 27!
Congrats! I'm interviewing the 20th. Are you from PR or the mainland?
You guys apply with the old or new MCAT?
PR. This is my second time interviewing. I was waitlisted last year so hopefully I get it this year!
I have a friend that already interviewed. They do group interviews and, at least, his was all spanish. I'm going this tuesday and will be sure to let you know how it went!
Éxito @malamia! I'm going this tuesday aswell, you going at the AM or PM?
AM! Gracias, igual! Te voy a enviar un mensaje ahora a ver si nos conocemos allí!
Will do! And congrats on the II! I gotta tell you, your chances are looking very good. If you check MSAR, Ponce interviewed 16 OOS applicants of which 11 matriculated. Take into account acceptees that didn't matriculate and that leaves an almost 100% interviewee-acceptance rate.
They've just called me and I'm interviewing this Friday. Do I have to bring a portfolio or just my nervous self?
So no portfolio? I ask again because I called today and asked. They told me they didn't require it, but some interviewers liked or asked if you had one... Please confirm 🙂 thank you!
