I thought it was a secondary too
They just sent out another email about it! New system was being dumbYep, just got it, too. I think the UC email system is a little wonky, a lot of people were not getting the "received" email when expected. I remember people talking about it over on the UC Davis thread, I think.
whoa, what happened in CARS? have you talked to an advisor about retaking, because a 122 might hold you out from a lot of places. you have otherwise good statsI received a secondary on the 20th, but I don't know if I should fill it out. Here is why:
cGPA: 3.81
sGPA: 3.98
MCAT: 510 (129,122,129,130)
As you can see, the 122 in cars will probably make this secondary a waste of time and money. What do you guys think?
I received my secondary on the 20th, but I'm still working on my autobiography. When would it be considered "too late" to submit my secondary? (to put my application in disadvantage?)

Looking back, I did my best to avoid reusing specific stories/points from my AMCAS personal statement. That being said, I did hit on a few important life experiences again but I made sure that I had incorporated them to highlight a different characteristic or facet that I wanted to emphasize within the autobiographical narrative. So while it may be fine to reuse stories/points from AMCAS in theory, try to do it in a novel or unique way so it's not just a rehashing of what you've already written (and what they've already read). Easier said than done, I know...Has anyone reused stories/points from their AMCAS personal statement at all? I'm trying to incorporate my motivations for pursuing medicine into the autobiography and I feel like there's overlap there...
I have a couple questions regarding the secondary:
1) Does anyone know if you apply to the PRIME-HEq program, does it hurt/ help/ do anything to your chances of getting into the regular MD program?
2) Under "new meaningful experience", it says "Author of corresponding letter of recommendation".. Does this mean if you enter a new meaningful experience, that someone NEEDS to send in another letter of recommendation through the whole amcas letter service for it??
3) Is anyone else having issues with their Letters of Rec showing up on their "Applications Status"
Don't recall if the percent who get secondaries was ever officially shared. Here are two posts from last year that may help but since they were presumably applicants, trust the estimates as you wish.Submitted and complete. JEEEEESSSHH atleast its over with. Hopefully I don't get snap rejected my UCSD.
BTW, anyone know the percent of applicants who get a secondary
Hit me up, if you're still looking for readers.anyone willing to read a 6000 character behemoth of an essay? will repay with good vibes and earnest appreciation
I applied to both during the application cycle and there wasn't any issue in that respect. However, if you are accepted to both, you will have to choose only one as you cannot hold onto two 'funded' programs (funded in that you get some financial assistance to defray the additional requirements--Master's for PRIME and international research/clinical rotation for GHAC).Anyone applying to both PRIME and GHAC? I'm very interested in both and wonder if there are any issues to applying to both.
Can those of you who received the secondary please also mention the date they received your amcas primary? I would appreciate it i have not received the secondary yet but they received my amcas mid-july. I am wondering if I should complete the secondary essays in advance or actually wait since I may not receive one. I am OOS if that matters

If we have added extra meaningful experiences to the application through the secondary, how should we go about providing them with the recommendation letters for that?
hey two questions, for the "adding additional activity" section, what does it mean "Author of corresponding letter of recommendation" ? I'm not getting a letter from the coordinator of my activity, but should I put her name down as the reference? confusing

II just now. Received Secondary 7/20. Submitted Secondary 7/21. Completed 7/21. LizzyM 75.
Congrats!
Will your avatar change to the ARodgers championship belt celebration when you're accepted?
I don't want to jinx it!!!... but either that or my Super Bowl photo
Not like I'm gunna get an II from here. But for reference, what days of the week are the interviews?I think this information is good for everyone. Each day for II they have 32 people. And so far there are 3 II dates in September (so 32 x 3 = 96). I don't think they would have sent out all 96 II this early, maybe just 16-20 at most.

Congrats, Super Bowl MVP and Future Hall of Famer! Every school should welcome you with open arms and full-ride scholarships. Maybe even pay you double your Packers salary for further enticement.II just now. Received Secondary 7/20. Submitted Secondary 7/21. Completed 7/21. LizzyM 75.
Nice! I submitted 7/21 as well. Hopefully I get a decision soon too. If it wasn't an II today, then I am probably going to be a hold or reject. OOS applicant, so my hopes aren't too high.II just now. Received Secondary 7/20. Submitted Secondary 7/21. Completed 7/21. LizzyM 75.
Do you mention in the secondary you are interested in prime or did you specify on primary (i.e. md/graduate)?Anyone applying to both PRIME and GHAC? I'm very interested in both and wonder if there are any issues to applying to both.
I only marked it on the secondary.Do you mention in the secondary you are interested in prime or did you specify on primary (i.e. md/graduate)?
