Has anyone received an email telling them to apply here? I just got one today.
Has anyone emailed the office if they haven't received a secondary? I am trying not to be neurotic, but I am in state and made my campus choice on June 30......
I was in the same boat. I emailed them to verify that they hadn't sent me the secondary yet because i had been verified for so long. I got the secondary ~4 hours laterHas anyone emailed the office if they haven't received a secondary? I am trying not to be neurotic, but I am in state and made my campus choice on June 30......
What's on the secondary app? I applied MSTP in mid-July and have only received emails telling me that there isn't a secondary for the MSTP program.If it helps anyone I think they might be doing it after a certain date in bulk. I submitted my primary 08/01 for MSTP and I got a secondary invite today at 2:26pm EST. I'm an underdog stat-wise so I don't think the screening is too harsh if there is any besides the MCAT cutoff
Which PI's you're interested in working with for your PhD, just a list (300 characters), Your current research interests, can list it too (200 characters), and why did you apply to UMN MSTP (200 characters). It was really low-key imo.What's on the secondary app? I applied MSTP in mid-July and have only received emails telling me that there isn't a secondary for the MSTP program.
About to submit the secondary, and it says "I have reviewed the letters of recommendation to ensure there are no errors" right below the LOR's. Am I supposed to check this box? It says it's required. I haven't reviewed the letters because my understanding is that we aren't supposed to see them, but I'm not sure if they mean something like make sure these are the right letter submission. What did you all do?
Do you mean the secondary questions? (II = Interview Invite)Did you guys use all the word count when answering the II questions?
I was verified on 7/12 and picked my location (twin cities) in the original email they sent out but still haven't gotten the email for the secondary a month later. How long did it take you to get your secondary?

lol probably not. that would be great to talk about if applying to mayo though!What is considered a special tie to MN? The only thing I have is a major surgery that I had done at Mayo; is that worth writing about or should I just skip it?
Okay I will be starting Medical School in 2 weeks here. I had a 500 MCAT, 3.6 GPA and OOS with no ties to Mn, and got in so worry less about your stats, and more about your application. Write a stellar essay, explain hardships you've gone through and be very open/frank. Edit your essay as many times as possible (5 times for me), and if you have a LinkedIn, update it as I have heard some schools look at that. Also, the interview is extremely important! I cannot stress this enough! if anyone of you gets an interview invite, message me and I'll give you the name of the book I used to prep for all my interviews. The schools I got into told me I had one of the best interviewing of all applicants and I will tell you it was largely due to the info I got from this book (a very affordable book btw). I'm not here to scam anyone but I've been in your shoes before and it's scary. Good luck you guys!
NoDid you guys get a complete email after your secondary was submitted and all three boxes were checked off?
Lived there, born there, have close family there, family has a cabin in northern MN; culturally aware of how different Minnesotans can be, weatherly aware how cold it can be, etc. etc. etc. Even a long term visit to Roch is not special connection to the Great State of Hockey... erm, I mean MN.What is considered a special tie to MN? The only thing I have is a major surgery that I had done at Mayo; is that worth writing about or should I just skip it?
It is a most excellent school with faculty that I adore and AHC executive staff that are the best. I love the buildings, the smell of Diehl, the hallways from Coffman to Moos... it is home. As I type that, a small lump grows in my throat. MN will always be home.If MN accepted me, Id withdraw everything in a heartbeat.
Just got II for MSTP! Completed secondary on 8/8. I'm OOS.
You can see his stats on the What are my chances - they are good.Wtf? Stats? URM?
Congrats! Curious, did your secondary portal have any changes to it after the interview invite? Or is everything the same on that site?II this afternoon. IS, LizzyM ~75, complete 8/1
Nothing changed in the secondary app portal. In the II email they have a link that sends you directly to a form to pick an interview date. Good luck!!!Congrats! Curious, did your secondary portal have any changes to it after the interview invite? Or is everything the same on that site?
