Submitted my secondary a few days ago, shows as "submitted" on the secondary app link now. But never got confirmation email. Anyone know how to check your application status?
Thank you for your input!! Why did you choose VTC?
And why VTC over Mayo?

I got mine I was verified on day 1, got the invite for the secondary on 06/29@everyone who received a secondary, how long after you were verified on AMCAS did it take for you to get one from here?
Just got this email. Gosh darn it! I have a Mac and whenever a number appears on my email app (to tell me how unread emails I have), I jump up in hope. I have been let down every single time.TFW you think you got an interview invite but really its just the school marking your app as complete 2 weeks after you submitted the secondary![]()
Damn, thats early! Good luck everybody!
I am OS, 3.7/33, tons of research
Any current students on here able to give some insight/advice about the MMI here? How did you guys prepare?
Lizzy M of 65, lots of research, teaching assistant, volunteering, and I'm a first Gen immigrant from Canada and a second Gen immigrant from ItalyCongrats to all IIs stats please, did all of you have a lot of research ?
Yea, I have been reading two actually. Just wondering if there is anything unique about VTC. Btw, congrats to you as well! I suppose I'll see you on 08/13They have a lot of books about it on amazon that have good reviews!

I would say if you don't fit the profile here (high MCAT, lots of research) it might make sense to look elsewhere. I agree that being from VA doesn't seem to be a huge factor at this one.
How strict are they on that 500-600 words for the secondary? I have said about all I can say in about 200 words.
Well...I definitely have other points I can discuss, but they specifically ask for one event or experience in the first essay. I have plenty of stuff for the 2nd prompt, it is just the first that is giving me issues.

The rural background is great to focus on, but the way you can approach this essay is to think what your peers would say about you if asked "What is cool about him/her?". This could be that you are great at a sport or maybe you have a knack for collecting something. What is unique about you that you can make the population diverse.I am the exact opposite, I am a middle class white male, so the diversity essay is by far the most difficult for me. I have mainly been focusing on my rural background.

I am the same. I am just lucky to have had experience living abroad and other life experiences that I have plenty to write about. I did add more to the anecdote for the first essay. Up to 350 words! Getting there. hahaI am the exact opposite, I am a middle class white male, so the diversity essay is by far the most difficult for me. I have mainly been focusing on my rural background.

Submitted 7/11, II 7/19, OOS, non-trad, about 2 years research in public health-related topics. LOVE this school so hyped to interview!
Congrats! Did they notify you by email or was there a portal update?

Thanks! Notified via email (accidentally received two in a row--does that mean they must really want me? haha I wish...)
Just got rejected pre-secondary, primary submitted 6/7. Good luck to the rest of you!
I think this school was a bit of a reach for me, but 3.0 undergrad, 3.97 SMP, and 35 MCAT
Did you have research experience? I applied with a 3.52, 503 and 3 years research experience. I don't think I will get an II, but it's odd that they didn't pre-screen me

I know this school loves research. So maybe that's why? 3.92 and a 504 here and no pre screen as well.

Second that.
Did you ensure that they accept the old MCAT? And the only issue may have been your GPA. Might have just been an automatic screen. Schools often have a system that look at MCAT and undergrad GPA.I think this school was a bit of a reach for me, but 3.0 undergrad, 3.97 SMP, and 35 MCAT
