Nope.

None of those, but have been barking up that tree pretty aggressively since 2014. Persistence ftw.

Congrats! When are the interview dates?

Anyone still not have a secondary?

 

[tiramisucheese]

Anyone still not have a secondary?

Finally got mine yesterday, so maybe they're still sending them out this week. I submitted today.

 

[hodo_r]

Anyone still not have a secondary?

To anyone who still hasn't received a secondary, email "[email protected]" and let them know when you were verified and your AMCAS ID. They'll send one to you automatically!

 

[Positivevibes5]

Congrats to everyone with II already!!! Would any of you lucky lads or ladies mind sharing your stats?

 

[mas13b]

Does it take long for Tulane to receive letters of rec? I thought they'd be there automatically with my AMCAS primary.

For me, they uploaded it minutes after I submitted the secondary

Same here

For the questions "List any leadership positions, in clubs or organizations, you may have held during college" and "Please list your hobbies and major non-academic interests", are people also adding in a description if the activity or does the school just purely want us to list?

I added a very brief description (like 1 sentence for each) because why else give us the same word limit as other questions? But on the other hand, "list" generally can mean just list out. I hope they won't penalize anyone either way because what a silly thing to mark against someone.

 

[CrunchyPeanutButter]

II just now!!

 

[wizarddoc2213]

Nope.

Ok sweet. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't wasting money and time filling out the secondary if I didn't have those things...

II just now!!

Congrats!!! When did you submit your secondary??

It was complete on 7/11

 

[fourandtwo]

II!!! 9/28. Who wants to split a car and hotel?! Lol!

I sleep early and we can mock interview each other.

Edit: just saw that they offer student housing for interviews. Okay, splitting the car is still on! So are the mock interviews haha.

 

[mas13b]

Same here

It's been a couple of hours and still not received, think it's worth emailing admissions?

 

[hodo_r]

for a secondary? might as well. they're supposed to be sent to all applicants anyway.

edit: just realized you meant your LORs, worth a shot though.

 

[med2018ihope]

When did y'all submit your secondaries? Mine was complete by 7/17. Still have a red checkmark as well. 🙁 Wasn't sure if there is an approximate number of days it takes to go from red--> green.

I was complete on 7/15, received a check today, so about a 4 day turnaround (2 business days)

[GodonlyKnows]

@med2018ihope did you receive an email when it changed to a green check mark? Or did you just regularly?

 

[MCATISEZ]

Is anyone having trouble copy pasting essays from word? when i do that its not showing up

 

[mas13b]

Is anyone having trouble copy pasting essays from word? when i do that its not showing up

I had some trouble, yeah. What I found is that you have to copy your answer sentence by sentence, especially if you're close to the word count. I also found there was a discrepancy between the Microsoft word count and the word count on the application.

You're over the character count. Word underestimates (or the website overestimates? not sure) the count. I recommend going sentence by sentence until it won't let you add anymore, then downsizing from there to finish it up.

 

[andymax94]

Congrats! When are the interview dates?

Edit: Previous post was with another school in mind 😛

My interview is Oct. 2 for Tulane. The earliest interviews were in September. Not sure what date but I believe they were being offered from M-Th.

 

[H_Scheck]

Congrats to all of you getting IIs! It is getting me pumped . . . I may have a chance here! Complete 7-16 .

 

[hebrewBAMmer]

Submitted 7/10 and no II yet. I know it's early, and I know I'm not supposed to worry, but damn me if I'm not lol

 

[eyedeegaffe]

For the question about AmeriCorps/Peace Corps/TfA, is we are starting this month, is it appropriate to answer yes?

 

[premedstudent2017]

For the question about AmeriCorps/Peace Corps/TfA, is we are starting this month, is it appropriate to answer yes?

Considering they probably wont review it until you're actually starting, i would say yes if it were me

 

[Jaigantic]

Super excited for all of you with IIs! Hopefully you can be excited for me too ONCE I RECEIVE MY SECONDARY CMON TULANE YOURE KILLING ME HERE.




seriously though congrats to all who received IIs

 

[drmeliash]

Completed application 7/12

So excited for my first interview invite!!

 

[UbiquitinAsian]

When it says to "Please list your hobbies and major non-academic interests" are volunteering experiences considered non-academic? Or nah?

 

[hebrewBAMmer]

When it says to "Please list your hobbies and major non-academic interests" are volunteering experiences considered non-academic? Or nah?

No. I'd interpret this question as "What do you do for fun? What things do you enjoy doing?" as things outside of doing for the sake of medical school admissions

FYI maybe i just missed it in this thread but theres an additional question I didnt know about ahead of time:

"Are you participating or have you participated in a study abroad program at your university?
Yes No
Please give a short description"

 

[hodo_r]

Just got that sweet sweet lil green check mark. Aight let the games begin. !!!

 

[greaterwing]

First II! Super stoked. Seems like there are only times for late September and on. I booked mine for the beginning of October.

Canadian applicant, applied last year. Received my secondary on July 10, application complete on July 12, and got the green checkmark sometime on Friday I think.

Did you interview last year? I wonder how they consider re-applicants. /:

 

[SadAsian]

Submitted 7/10 and no II 🙁
