Good luck to everyone applying this cycle!
Nope!Has anyone received secondaries yet?
I looked into it and I think they received them at the beginning of july last year. so maybe in the next week or so?Nope!
Secondary received.
How are people standardizing their 1 page essay? 12 size font, double spaced, etc? or what
I'd think it's open to interpretation for sure. I haven't turned in my application yet, but I'm preparing mine at 12 font of 1 page so I can do a quick turnaround if I get offered a secondary!
Question for you guys; I haven't taken my MCAT yet (yeah, yeah, I know. but I haven't taken General BIO in 10 years and it's kicking my butt trying to study with 60 hrs/week and a toddler.). I'm probably freaking myself out, but my practice exams still say I'm sitting about a 496/497 - with 126-130's in the psychosocial/CARS and 120/121 -123/124 in the sciences (most recent few have been sitting steadily at about 124). Granted, I've taken each practice with a 3-yr old who demands my attention throughout the entire practice, but it still has me freaked out. My sGPA is something like a 3.9 (only 2 B+'s) and my cGPA is about a 3.7. I've worked as a nurse for a year, have lots of recommendations from physicians and other doctorate level professors, was a social worker before that, and was a scribe for a while. I'm retaking multiple BIO classes to get them back under my belt again and just finished organic chem. I feel like I know it better than a 496 and a big part of the lower scores is that the practice tests are being done with a ridiculous amount of distractions, but worried! thoughts? I'm going to take the MCAT this next weekend, figure there's not going to be much change in my score between now and August 9, and would rather get my scores back in August as my application is being verified. I wanted to get opinions from those actively applying though. I already contacted Joy and she said a 498 is fine, but a 500 is ideal. what else can I do? Thanks!
what else can I do? Thanks!
I didnt get one until a few days after submittingalso after submitting, did anyone receive a confirmation email about their application being received/payment received, because I got neither :/
Same day. Received 7/11 and submitted 7/11.For those who have received secondaries, when did you guys submit?

Submitted primary on 5/19. Secondary received on 7/11Would like to know this too
I wouldn't worry about it that much. I got an interview here last year and mine was probably 3 lines short of a full page.I'm like 3 or 4 sentences short from it being a complete full page. Is this ok or should I continue to add more?
It took 2 months for the time I submitted to the time they sent the secondary. How long has it been since you submitted the primaryHaven't heard from this school regarding secondary invitation. Should I contact them?
secondary received!!! wonder how they screen... anyone know?
I had in my notes that they do maybe I have to look back. I was verified July 7They screen? I'm 3.7 & 508 mcat.
When were you verified?
I honestly don’t think they screen much at all. And they offer TONS of interviews. I think for 2017 the acceptance percentage after interview was only 27%"An email invitation to complete a supplemental (secondary) application will be sent to selected applicants after the primary application has been received and reviewed." ... from their website. Not completely clear how they select applicants
Ah okay maybe i'll give them another weekI had in my notes that they do maybe I have to look back. I was verified July 7
wonder how they screen... anyone know?
Yes, at an info session last year, the admissions officer said that they do an extensive, holistic review of each individual's primary application. They do not have minimum GPA/MCAT requirements.
From the website:So even if I had higher than average stats, there's a chance I could still get screened?
Yeah, an email will say "thanks for applying, you may now access your application on the student portal" with a link to the student portal. It came about 2 days after submitting the secondary for meDo we get an email or anything confirming our secondary is turned in/completed?
All mine were submitted through AACCOMAS. Maybe contact the school for clarification. They're really responsiveAre we supposed to manually submit letters for this school? My checklist still says the letters are missing and has a due date this week.
Awesome, thanks.All mine were submitted through AACCOMAS. Maybe contact the school for clarification. They're really responsive
so stuck on how to do the hours for their healthcare activities. It says combine but that is hard when it does hours per week instead of just total hours. It also won't let me enter more 52 weeks or a decimal for years... I guess I can give a very very rough estimate
After you pay, click "go back" or "finish" or something like that. It takes you to the PowerCampus page where there is a pop-up that allows you to upload a file.Where in the application can you submit the essay?
