Hey all, thinking about throwing my hat in here. I couldn't find anywhere on BU's website how much the secondary fee is, could someone who's applied post it?

$110

Thanks! Complete 7/1/16, LizzyM ~70. I also did the MAMS program so that probably had an influence.

congrats!

Thank you! I'm pretty excited, except judging by last year's thread, this school seems incredibly selective. Looking forward to the interview, though.

Do you think that I should write something for the "Are you expecting to go on to medical school directly after completing your undergraduate degree?" prompt? I am graduating in 3.5 years, so I will have December-August off of school where I will be working for a while in biotech. Worth mentioning?

Hi, a bit of an odd question but where can you find the secondary essay prompt on the portal? The prompts are not listed on the side bar at all.. I'm not verified, does that matter? Thanks in advance

 

[HopefulHardWorker]

Hi, frchuatritons: Does BUSOM offer campus visit, like speak with a current medical student? I am talking about before the interview date. Online website only give out info about where to go, where to park.

BU told me when one of mine wasn't signed. They were the only school that did. You're fine.

Hey would you happen to know the process of resubmitting a letter with a letterhead to AMCAS? I basically just redelivered the updated letter to AMCAS but I wasn't sure if that was the right procedure...

Have your letter writer or service resend the letter to AMCAS. AMCAS automatically replaces the letter if it has the same letter ID and makes it available to the school. It takes a few days for BU to receive it and correct the hold.
