gosh this secondary was super thorough, but the 1500/1200/900 character count was stressful!

You can apply to both independently, but Duluth had a pretty specific mission. They focus on rural medicine and will reject anyone who doesn't fit that mission.

Does anyone know if you get a confirmation email after everything is in? They have my letters, I submitted the secondary Friday, and the fee got processed today, so I wasn't sure if I would be getting an email since everything is checked off on the homepage now
The admissions process is separately done. Duluth decides Duluth, TC decides TC. You also have to fill out different secondaries for both med schools. As @Hopeful_vet said, if you are not focused on rural med and can demonstrate that by having grown up in a small town, are Native American Indian, or have extensive volunteering in small rural cities, you will likely not get accepted.
Anyone who applied to TC hear back or has everyone receiving secondaries applied to Duluth?
I received and submitted the TC secondary, but haven't heard anything since
Same here...submitted secondary about 2 weeks ago. Waiting anxiously for interview invite.
When you get an email from the University of Minnesota but it's just an alumni association newsletter...

It was actually on 08-03. This should be the week that we start seeing II!

First wave appeared to be just IS
Secondaries were sent out later last year too. Really hoping for good news this week.

Still haven't gotten secondary from here after submitting primary mid june... Should I call and ask what's up?
OOS here. Just got the secondary. Anyone know how stringent the screening process is?
Their screen is for a minimum of 495/25 MCAT... so essentially no screen
I was complete on 7/14 and meet the criteria, but still haven't gotten my secondary? Anyone have any info on the matter?
They send out secondaries in batches. I submitted AMCAS the day it became available, so you may be 3 weeks or so back in the queue. You're not late though!
Before UMN sends a secondary, they send you a link to fill out which campus (both or one) you want to apply to. The secondary is sent after you have completed this form, but not immediately.

Did anybody get the confirmation emails for their chosen II dates yet?
They will likely wait till most people have chosen their preferred date and they figure out how to group them for each date.

Did anyone who has already received an II just get the same email again? I'm confused. It's asking me to select days to interview but I have already done that and they sent me a confirmation of those dates earlier...
Yeah, I got the exact same thing, same situation. Should we email them?
I was thinking of calling them but I don't want to come across as a bother. It was probably just a mistake but it makes me nervous
UPDATE just called and they said there was a glitch in the system so they couldn't see everyone's responses. But they have fixed it so you don't need to reenter your dates. Everything has been worked out so ignore the second email.
Anybody get an II today? Nothing here. The last batch was on Monday, so I'm trying to figure out if they go out weekly, or on some other schedule. I'd rather not be "that guy" and pester the admissions office to find out.
Yeah I got an II today!
Congrats! IS? Complete date?
Did everyone answer the "personal background/identity" question? I know on other secondaries I have been instructed to not answer that question if I don't have a notable race/SES/gender. Here, should I just focus on the "lived experiences" part and just continue to expand upon how my activities or maybe medical conditions of family members have influenced me? I kind of covered that pretty well in my personal statement/AMCAS activities, but I could probably think of more info for this question if that would be better than leaving it blank, but not sure if that's what they really intended for this question.
Thank you. IS and complete 7/24. LizzyM 68
Does the UMN send a completion email? I submitted 7/20 but only got the transaction receipt email.

I have three green check marks when I log in to the supplemental, but there was no completion confirmation email.
