So jealous of you guys! I'm freaking out here wondering if my application will even get looked at if I won't be complete until the beginning of August :/
^You submitted yours already? I kind of want to, but I also just wanna wait for the e-mail.
I'm just excited because it's one of the few I actually pre-wrote
I think he's just saying the transmission from AMCAS to UM worked, and that he was able to log into the supplemental application. Could be wrong though.
Same.
Just wait. My pre-health advisor has actually told me that it looks bad if you submit it before the email.
I've been mulling over this prompt and did some pre-outlining, but are there hobbies or passions or fun facts that are like... Too weird? Because in any one of those I could mention/want to mention that I really love reptiles. I have a snake now (not my avatar, that's an eyelash viper at the zoo). But some people think reptiles are gross and people who keep them are creepy weirdos, so I tend to not want to mention it to people. I don't want them to suspect I actually want to be a vet, either.
I mean surely they've seen stranger stuff, right?
Just got my secondary invite today. Prompts are the same as last year.

Thanks for letting me know! They are good pretty good if I may say so! I lucked out on letters, but I will try to choose a top 4....I just wish his letter were part of the top 4 :\ sigh6 might be a little too much. If each of your letters will say something different about you, then by all means, go for it. If they may be redundant, try to pick the 4 you like best. Have 4 good letters is better than having 5 good ones+1 bad one.
But to answer your question, they'll only review your file once, once they have all the letters you have listed.
I didn't. Other secondaries specifically say employment in general, so for those I put the 8 hours a week I work. However, I didn't put that money toward my education, so I didn't put anything down for the Michigan secondary.Can anyone clarify the "employment to finance your education" question. I had a few jobs but I wouldn't say that the money was funding my education. What wasn't covered by my athletic scholarship was paid for by my parents. Do I still add hours from whatever jobs I had?

Hmmmm I'm not sure about the last part. I think they meant money that would directly be going to your college through a tutition payment or a work study program. That would be my conservative statement. I mean either way in terms of my AMCAS primary they will learn about the jobs I held in college anyways but in terms of that blank for my situation because I got scholarships and loans for my expenses for school even though I worked eight hours a week.Yeah I think if you took out no loans and didn't pay any college expenses whatsoever then you should put zero. But if you took loans out and you have a job, I would still put those hours down because that's money that even if you aren't immediately paying the loans back, will eventually go towards your education.
^Wait before you worry! I called the UMich admissions office last Thursday about this and the nice representative I talked to said my file indicated that I submitted and paid already.
I think that was their secondary interface for last year that automatically populated fields for this year, and they made the switch to ApplyWeb this year. I'm guessing here, but Georgetown has the same issue with this year's secondary (they switched from ApplyYourself to AMP, they sent out an e-mail to applicants about it).
