Good luck to everyone applying this cycle!
So does not doing this video make you look bad at all?6/22 Secondary Received
Another interesting change:
The following question is optional and will not impact your admissions decision.
Please provide us with a video of no more than 2 minutes duration that will help us understand you better. Alternatively, you may submit a physical exhibit (art piece, music, sculpture, etc.) to the BCOM Admissions Office. To submit the video, please paste into the box below a valid YouTube video URL created by yourself. The video will need to be marked Public or Public not listed. It cannot be marked as Private. Note that all material submitted is property of BCOM and will not be returned.
250 words!NM resident, verified today (6/22).
Do any of you guys have word/character counts for the secondary prompts?
I wouldn't think so, since they offer alternative ways to submit.
No it will not. When I submitted my secondary last cycle, I chose to forgo the optional question. I received an II and was accepted into their matriculating class.
I spoke to admissions the yesterday, they said II's won't go out for at least another few weeksHas anyone got a II?
Thanks for letting us know. A few more weeks, huh? Last year the 1st wave of IIs came around by now. Has there been a larger influx of apps this time, or they're changing up their review process? I'm just speculating.I spoke to admissions the yesterday, they said II's won't go out for at least another few weeks

how to you find this out, is it something easy that can be relayed here or pm?They watched my video the day after I sent my secondary, I know that much. I saw from Youtube analytics that someone from New Mexico watched the whole length...must be them.
On Youtube, you can track views on videos uploaded to your channel. Go to "my channel," "customize channel," "video manager," and click on "- views" to the right of the video you want to check. This will take you to the analytics page, where you can see viewers' geography, watch time, and traffic source. Hope that helps.how to you find this out, is it something easy that can be relayed here or pm?
Argh I got an email from BCOM about that yesterday. No other MD or DO school brought this up, but I asked my letter writer to correct and resend it. Just to give me peace of mind...Anyone else have issues where the letters weren’t on letterhead? I’ve gotten an interview invite from another school so didn’t realize this was an issue but apparently I have to get my letter writer to resubmit

They do. "Note: Students approved for a fee waiver by AACOMAS will automatically be eligible for a waiver from BCOM; however, the BCOM fee will need to be paid at the time of the Supplemental submission and following fee waiver status is confirmed by AACOMAS via the list sent to the COMs, a refund will be issued to applicant."Does BCOM do a fee waiver?
Hey fellow artist here! If it's sculpture, it would totally be reasonable to send a picture and not the actual piece. That's still mailing them the work, in a way. I'm more of an inked and Photoshop illustration artist and even I wouldn't send my original, but a print of it.If I'm planning on sharing artwork with bcom can I get away with sending a picture of my sculpture? Their app makes it sound like we're supposed to mail them our work.

Was it because the letter writers contact info wasn’t on the letter or does the letter need to have the company logo? Thank you!
Dang good to know. One of my writers didn’t include an official logo, might have to ask him to resubmit.Both. I got dinged for 2 of my letters by separate authors

This was in last year's app, I didn't do the video and got accepted.
Last year one of my docs didn't sign with his credentials, so I had to resend. Make sure they actually sign MD or DO. Just typing it isn't enough.Both. I got dinged for 2 of my letters by separate authors

Did you get an email?Pending review >.< Hope it is quick. Fingers crossed!
Yep! Got it this morning "Did you get an email?
I didn'tDid anyone receive a confirmation email or something after submitting supplemental app and payment?
I really have an idea of what I want to do for a physical exhibit though. It would be music related due to my background. Anyone else going this route?
I did. It's the same email as premedmommy quoted.Did anyone receive a confirmation email or something after submitting supplemental app and payment?
I don't think that's possible if you're going to send a video, but that would have be what happens if you plan on mailing a physical exhibit.Does anyone know if you can send in the secondary and then submit the optional portion after?
I just listed mineHow did you all address the question asking about completed recommended coursework? Did you list the courses you've completed or talk about what you learned from each course? Thank you in advance!
How long after? I just submitted mine and didn't get anythingI did. It's the same email as premedmommy quoted.

Oops. Just like coffeeDO said, I meant to say I only received an email after the primary, but did not receive an email confirmation after I submitted the secondary, nor a receipt of payment.How long after? I just submitted mine and didn't get anything
