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!
I received an email today with instructions/
ok

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.
thanks!
Thank you @malamia!

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..
I only noticed because a couple of friends were also applying and recieved the email. The fee is $75. Ask for that email, though. It has some important info in it like the fact that you also have to send in transcripts.
No actual secondary application, though! Just a fee.
Yep. Classes will be in both Spanish and English.
In their initial communication with the applicant they state:
"Classes are taught either in English or Spanish. You must be able to speak, understand, read and write both languages. If you do not comply, we kindly suggest that you discontinue your application process by replying to this email."
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!

New! How about you?
Wepa! Well good luck!
How was your experience last year?
Does anybody know if out-of-state (mainland) applicants are interviewed in English or Spanish?
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!
Got an interview for next month! OOS, kind of nervous because my Spanish is not perfect :/ Those who interviewed or are interviewing soon please let me know how it goes!

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?
Lol, just your nervous self. I called today and asked. I am bringing a small notebook.
Gracias!!

Gracias!!
Hey guys,
the interview went very well. Four of us (all puertoricans) got interviewed by a panel of three. Questions were English and Spanish but predominantly Spanish. To me it seems that if you are OOS they WILL test your spanish.
They will notify me and the whole first batch in Mid-November.. Hopefully with good news!!
Congrats to all interviewees and good luck!

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!
