All of MWU questions are the same. How bad is it to post the same answers?

Lol was also wondering this. I'm actually considering withdrawing my AZ app, but don't see an option for that anywhere. It's probably fine to have some of the same but obviously don't make the mistake of talking about Downers Grove/Chicago opportunities in the AZCOM essay.

Yeah I’m thinking the first question should be a little different, but the second one has the same reasons no matter what school.
 
Secondary Received!

Good luck to all those out there!

EDIT: Submitted.

Anyone completing a secondary notice that the checklist says their MCAT scores have not yet been received?

I have been verified for weeks and my scores were submitted and verified at that time.

Thanks for any replies!
 
For those who have submitted, did you pre-write the secondaries? I didn't have a chance to pre-write mine and want to get them turned around quickly but I also don't want to just write something quick that isn't that great. What is a good turn around time?
 
So I don't know if people care about this, but I emailed the admissions about LORs and they responded today saying that my application will be put before the committee for review!
From what it seems, they move pretty quickly and are efficient if you ask questions!

Here's to hoping we hear good news!

I did prewrite mine because they were very similar to CCOM's secondary.
From what I've heard, a quicker turnaround time may show the school that you are more interested in attending. However, there are mixed reviews on this...I would say anywhere from 24 hours - a week or two should be good! I've gathered my info just from asking different people accepted into med school.

Hi everyone! I just submitted my AACOMAS primary app yesterday and still not verified. I heard that AZCOM seats fill up quickly. Do you think it's too late to apply?

Good luck to everyone applying!

Secondary submitted yesterday, and marked complete in less than 12 hours!
 
"Please Note: The text boxes below are plain text only and have been programmed to eliminate any unnecessary spaces between paragraphs or words and will automatically reformat your essay responses to one continuous paragraph."

Does this mean that my nicely sectioned paragraphs will be automatically combined into one big paragraph? :(

EDIT: I would recommend checking the text boxes after you copy and paste, because weird spaces were inserted into my paragraph. Also, when you continue to finalize the essays, you can see a preview of the application in which the essays are automatically reformatted to one block paragraph. I submitted the secondary application today (6/30) and am still waiting on my letter status to be updated (I was AACOMAS-verified two weeks ago).

Thanks for offering your help! I was doing some research, and it looks like the Glendale campus AND the Downer's Grove both have the Multispecialty Clinic, correct? And they both have the One Health Initiative? Just want to see what I need to tweak for both Why AZCOM and Why CCOM essays.
 
Does anyone know what the interview format is?
 
Got waitlisted for an interview, but they only have one my letters I think (non-trad student, my old professors are being slowwwww and should finally be uploading to AACOMAS this week)

Wondering if it's worth contacting admission when all of my letters are finally uploaded? or just let it be so early in the process....

It has always been $1000 and non-refundable unless they changed it for this year.

Yes to both. One Health Initiative is really used to satisfy the interdisciplinary course requirement for all schools. I personally think talking about why you believe that you will be able to succeed in school A is a better approach than to "I like school A because I think One Health Initiative is a really cool and important idea to promote."

Traditional 3 vs. 1.; 2 AZCOM Faculty, 1 student or another faculty. Note that this last faculty may not be part of the school. Meaning they can be a professor teaching Vet med, PA, etc.

Could I maybe PM you my draft for the Why question? Both CCOM and AZCOM are my top choices and I would love the feedback of a current student! If you're too busy I understand!
 
Just received my “complete” email. I’m thinking I’ll hear back in maybe a week or 2?

Sure, but writing isnt my strong point just a forewarning haha. When I applied, I didnt even know we had a sister school, CCOM lol!

I was reading online that the initial seat deposit is $200 followed by a second seat deposit of a higher amount.

I dont remember having 2 payments. I just remember one large sum that was $1000 because I was thinking to myself if I got into my top choice I will just have to lose the grand. I also remember upon receiving the letter I was surprised that it was significantly more expensive than holding your spot at a MD school. Either way, Im not too confident if it's a total of 1 grand or not now sorry lol.
