Have you received any email from them saying they received your app? Apparently they did that in the past but haven't got one yet.
 
Nothing for me either.... do they send out ED secondaries first?
 
Question anyone a little more knowledgeable of the school. The MSAR states that 28 or roughly 1/3 of the matriculates are OOS...but is that 1/3 from mainly from the same region, i.e. does that region (NY, PA, etc.) get preference over say a guy from Texas? Or is it that more people from that area apply.

Area that apply because it is on the border of NJ and PA as well as not too far from NY so more people are likely to apply.

Got an email from Cooper this morning that they got my app, was pretty pumped until I saw it had no secondary yet lol. Such teases.

Got the same email. Stated that they screen pre secondary.

Anybody know how many secondary apps they send out?

Got the same email! Happy to be recognized at least. I always feel like these apps might end up in some dark hole somewhere lol

Anyone know historically when the typical time is to receive secondaries? Heard they screen heavily!
 
Got the "Received application" email as well. No secondary yet. Fingers crossed!!

Received it as well.

I'll go through last year's thread to see what I can find.

After going through last year's thread, most people did not hear anything until August 21st-ish and going onwards, seemed to be very specific to each individual applicant. II's until January.

They def screen secondaries, idk what process it is but I think it isn't GPA/MCAT.
 
Since they got that underserved population / community service vibe, it's probably a volunteeringy screen, which is why it probably takes longer than other schools that just screen the numbers
 
To those who received secondary, when were you guys verified?
 
6/20 I believe.

Thanks for the prompt appreciate it @personperson. I guess I will start pre writing just in case lol
 
Are all your letters in, those who got the secondary? I am still waiting on my committee letter and I feel like that is slowing down them sending me the secondary...

Well, if it makes you feel better I have all my letters in and I haven't received one yet either.

Actually, no. My committee letter is still not completed but still received secondary.

IS with decent community service but no secondary yet so think they're just sending them out in batches
Click to expand...
Yeah, that is what I am thinking since I was verified just last week. I am also IS with decent volunteering as well.
 
Anyone under the secondary app for required courses see "US or Canadian institution prior to August 1, 2017." Is that a typo?
 
I'm IS and verified late June. Strong volunteering experience. Still no secondary.
 
Hey! The last question on my secondary application ("Please describe a time when you faced a problem that had no single right answer. How did you approach your solution?") does not have a character limit. Is this happening to anyone else? All of my other questions have a 1,000 character limit.
 
Did anyone else not get a secondary? I know they screen heavily so maybe it's time to move on...?
 
I did not get one yet

Hey, I just submitted my secondary and noticed the same thing. My response went to 1050 characters even after several edits, so I just decided to paste it into the box from word and it accepted it. So...I submitted it with 1050 characters for that one (all others were just under 1000) and it allowed me to proceed. Guess no limitations on discussing ethical dilemmas...

Must be a mistake, would not worry too much about it. On MSAR, CMSRU also states "Latest date prerequisite coursework can be complete June, 2017", which does not make sense either.

Yeah I just submitted it anyway haha. Thanks for the input!

I still haven't received one either and I applied ED. Still keeping hope alive.

Nor have I, but I'm pretty confident they'll send them out. Just gonna come in a later batch. Keep up faith. If you're really concerned, you can call and let us know what they say 😛
 
Do they send secondaries to unverified applicants?
