Please post the secondary questions once you receive them. Check last year's thread in the 2017-2018 SSD forum for last year's questions, they tend to not change very much from year to year.

Good luck to everyone applying!

No secondaries for Long that I know of

I received an email confirming my application has been received, they are going to be requiring CASper later in the cycle! They said they will provide more details if invited for an interview.

If you apply here MD/PhD and get in do you say that you go to Really Long School of Medicine?

 

[SpoiledMilk]

Really Long School of Medicine?

Forgot the comma

Really, Long School of Medicine?

I'm not sure when the first batch gets sent out, but if I remember correctly mine came in early July

Hey really want to know if I have a chance or if some one has been accepted that you know of with my mcat score... mainly concerned with my CARS score 123... 510 129/123/130/128, URM Hispanic, 3.96 GPA above average EC

 

[SpoiledMilk]

Not a Long student, but you should be alright. CARs is given the most leeway, esp for applicants where English is not a 1st language. Just kill the interview.

Those stats are competitive, and I wouldn't worry too much about CARS. Be able to explain it if asked in an interview.

Got an email from Long SOM today and my heart nearly skipped a beat....such a disappointment when I realized it was just an invite to their non traditional web chat haha

TMDSAS submitted a couple weeks ago but no email confirming receipt yet, do they require LOR's before confirming they received the app?

I got the receipt from Long a day after TMDSAS transmitted my app to all the schools and I didn’t have my letters in at the time.

I just got an email this morning about Long receiving my application (I don't have my LORs in yet either). My app was transmitted on 6/25 so it looks like there is a delay between transmission date and getting the received email.

A little confused about the casper situation. Will they only ask for the results to be sent if they send you an II? I don't see the school as an option for the distribution list on casper, so just wondering if anyone understood that this is what they meant in the email.

It's been a while since I read it but in that email I think they said they'll email us when the UTSA distribution is up. I think they're still getting set up with CASPer.

Edit: I just re-read the email and it says they'll let us know when they give an II that the link is active. So I guess maybe we do wait to send it.

 

[esob]

I got the email today as well and agree with the above posters with regards to waiting for a second email about sending Casper.

 

[KD6-3.7]

I didn't get any email today

Did anyone who chose a date already see any option to stay with a student? I know it’s early in the cycle still, but trying to keep costs down to save for (hopefully) future interviews.

You'll have the option to stay with a student at Long. I recommend it

Great, thank you so much!

For MSTP people: in an email, it was said that the MD only process and the MD/PhD process are independent. Does that mean to be considered for both programs we would need to get two separate interviews- one for each program?
