Also wondering this, also, if I'm a URM, but not necessarily AA, do I even have a chance? I believe my volunteer experiences have demonstrated a strong desire to serve underrepresented populations and fits the mission of Meharry, which is why I applied.

You and me both.

I feel like if we demonstrated a drive to assist the underserved we'll be given equal consideration given the mission of the school.

I was noticing the same thing too :highfive:

I hope we'll cross paths on the interview trail! And yes! This would be a great school to attend given the emphasis on practicing internal/family medicine and serving the underserved!

What's the typical GPA and DAT scores that get into Meharry?

Exciting to start on allopathic secondaries!
 
^^^^^^^^Secondary received!!! 1st one of Allopathic cycle as well!!


Sent from my iPhone using SDN mobile
 
I also received the secondary and I'm super excited!
 
Submitted!

I'm not sure if anyone has experience with the FAP but I was granted a waiver and when I submitted I didn't have to indicate my waiver status and I just submitted. Is that how it typically works?
 
Submitted! Did anyone see where we are supposed to pay the fee?
 
I'm having the same fee issue. I submitted (no waiver) but was never asked to pay anywhere.

I emailed them. Will keep you all updated as to how it goes.
 
my #1 choice! hoping to get some love soon but I can't trip because I don't even have an MCAT yet lol...

if you don't mind, people with secondaries post stats?
 
Received a secondary on June 29th

I thought they automatically send out secondaries?

The website states that College Net will assess the $65, but I was able to submit the secondary with no fee. Not sure what is going on here.

Received a secondary however, when I try to submit, it tells me that I have to pay however I am a FAP recipient. I saw on the website that they have to receive a copy of the FAP receipt so I emailed them but no response since I sent an email on Friday.

Let me submit, granted it was the night of, and I'm a FAP recipient. I wonder if they'll send an email out addressing the inconsistencies.

Let me know if they update you on this bc I'm also a FAP recipient and will be submitting my secondary next week
 
Hey guys,
new to SDN
I was just trying to check my status - it says to click "view my checklist" but it seems as though that button does not exist, is anyone else having a similar issue??

Also!
My stats are
cGPA: 3.86
sGPA: 3.99
MCAT: 504

I'm not AA but I am an URM
Think I got a shot here?!
 
Would someone mind posting the secondary prompts for this school? Thank you!
 
anyone know if there is a word limit or character count limit for the prompts? thanks!
 
Since there isn't a word limit, how many words/characters does everyone deem appropriate? Or what should the minimum be?

Im not sure, maybe a page though, more than that would be a higher character count than what most other schools offer.
 
any current students have any wise words? very interested in hearing some perspective! (also if anyone has a link to previous threads with someone good talking about the school, that will do too haha)
 
@cj1143 the rising M1s and currents usually pop up a bit later in the cycle. it's still pretty early. most of the people applying this cycle haven't even submitted yet. a lot of people submit like august. check this out...it's a few years back but can still paint the picture

Does anyone know how strict they are about the 3 letters of recommendation? On MSAR it says a minimum and maximum of 3, but on their website it just says a minimum of 3. I just wanted to know if I am missing something on their site, or I should just listen to MSAR?

I was able to submit my secondary today. I'm not sure when they updated my portal but when I logged in today, it had told me that my supplementary had been updated. You may want to forward them a copy of your fee waiver ahead of time.
 
15 students took the time in this post to claim that they received or submitted the secondaries, not a single one shared it. I thought this was suppose to be a space to share secondary prompts?
