2018-2019 Hackensack-Meridian School of Medicine at Seton Hall

Members don't see this ad.

I’m sure they’re scrambling. Their first class just started a month ago after being selected in less than 3 months.

That, and Seton Hall and Hackensack Meridian began changing their arrangement on July 1st.

I'm almost done with my secondaries, too! I hope that we can get it before the school year begins!

Since the first class just begun, is it safe to assume they didn't have secondary prompts last cycle?

Can confirm there were no secondaries last year

 

[xnnsx1]

Lets hope none this year but that's wishful thinking 🙁

Last cycle was supposed to have one too but with the quick pace of things it got scrapped. Admissions told us this cycle
Would have one. Here’s to hoping they change their minds and push it off again

 

[deleted787552]

Where did they say there would be secondaries last cycle? From the start the message was no secondaries iirc

I called to ask and I think someone else mentioned it too

 

[Eagleye2]

still nothing? this is crazy

 

[Richard White]

Nothing.

Lol what if they release secondaries in Feb-April time again thinking "We were able to fill our class in a few months why in the world do we need to start prepping from August"

 

[926585]

I actually glad that they haven’t released any secondaries yet. Cuz I’m swamped!

 

[Detective SnowBucket]

Though it probably hasn't gone that far yet, I think this school this cycle could set a new record. What's the latest school has ever sent out secondaries?

 

[Detective SnowBucket]

lol I don't want one. I want them to send it as late as possible so I don't have a metric **** tonne of others

 

[krazyape5]

Good to hear no one has got one... one less school to contact lol

 

[plzgibeinterviews]

My goodness, that’s freaking tough!

Dw the secondary isn't too bad. They just made a mistake with it. They meant 500 characters instead of words.

 

[don't you dare]

This applicant portal is sketchy. We have to input our AMCAS user ID and AMCAS password? Why doesn't Seton have their own? Looks like a phishing email to be honest, lol.

for me, I just made a new account, they sent me a link to create a pw, used my amcas id and email to verify, created a password.
I can access my portal

that makes me feel better lol
still a lil bummed about having the essays lol

Really? thats very little, not sure if that is harder or easier now lol.

 

[westsidestoryz]

lol he might be trolling.

 

[leeeebyy18]

Hate redundant prompts on the same secondary... C'mon admissions teams!

Same here too!

lolol im not trolling, and they didn't update it yet. When you type in the text box it counts out of 500 characters instead of words.

 

[Eagleye2]

it is odd that they want you to use the AAMC id and password, anyone figure out if this was intended?

 

[don't you dare]

anyone know the avg stats for this school from last year?

 

[Ronaldo2530]

It says 500 words, but when you put a response in the text box, it limits you to 500 characters.

Also, this portal is used by many medical schools. I just used the same username/password and was able to log on

 

[thatchemguy]

My god, this secondary is ANNOYING... Cmon Seton Hall! Even if they did mean 500 chars and not words

 

[leeeebyy18]

Nevermind. The prompt says 500 words but is actually counting each character... ugh id much rather it be words

did they just update this?? Im still seeing 500 words not characters. I also received the email to go to the portal multiple times...

 

[PopeKnope23]

Anyone else getting multiple emails?! And I hate how its our AMCAS login?? And now all those essays?? Sheesh

[sfs2468]

[westsidestoryz]
