I've received the email stating that they've received my app from the tmdsas 3 times now...does anyone think this is a problem I should contact them about?
I just got it too, I think it’s because our letters were uploaded today.

I also got it today for the third time. If you call, let us know what they say.I've received the email stating that they've received my app from the tmdsas 3 times now...does anyone think this is a problem I should contact them about?
I don't think so. My letters were uploaded weeks ago.I just got it too, I think it’s because our letters were uploaded today. The subject of my email said something along the lines of TMDSAS materials received
Oh sorry, I meant ours as in mine and bigeman. He had posted in another thread that his letters were submitted today and so were mine. It just seemed like a convenient correlation to make.I also got it today for the third time. If you call, let us know what they say.

It seems to me that the email is automatic for whenever your TMDSA app updates because my transcripts were just processed yesterday or the day before and I got the email again as well.Oh sorry, I meant ours as in mine and bigeman.

Uploaded the 14th and marked received as well. I got my packet from my post bac uniLilsebastian when did Baylor upload your packet? Mine got uploaded on the 13th but TMDSAS still says not received... wondering if it’s because they’re busy or if there is an issue

Yep, I got an email from the HP office submitting my packet, checked and it was marked received on TMDSAS. No email from TMDSAS though. I called them cause I had a question about when schools would receive my letter since I was transmitted weeks ago and got a really nice lady who told me letters are available to schools the moment they’re uploaded, it’s just up to the school to download them. Could it be Dr. Haynes (is that who still runs the HP office?) is snail mailing it? Unlikely I would think, but if it’s not there Monday morning I’d definitely call Baylor before TMDSAS.On TMDSAS? Crap might be an upload issue with mine then. Been hesitant to call since they say they can’t update you on that stuff but I’m worried now

Oh he’s great! Yeah they’re very accommodating, I guess it’s early so they’re not over all of us yet, lol.No it’s Dr. Sanker now! I know they used VirtualEvals so thought it would be quick. I’ll definitely call Monday glad to hear they were willing to talk about letters. Thank you!
I'm having some trouble coming up with ideas for these secondary essays and they're really dang long. For these essays can we draw from any life experience or just experiences during and after undergrad?
Thanks for the clarification. Did you find it easy to come up with your ideas? I don't want to rehash what I've said in my PS or the other primary essays but I'm kinda drawing blanks for them.You don’t have to fill up every single character. It’s Ok to answer a question to your satisfaction under the character limit. FWIW one of my essays mentioned something that happened in Hs

lol Honestly, that's reassuring.No i did not find it easy lol.
Once you log in, there should be a “my applications” option on the left hand side of the page. Click that then click “start new...” on the subsequent page. I attached pictures. Sorry for the zoom, tried to not get my info in it. Hope that helps.I might just be missing something, but how does one actually access the secondary to submit it? I made the mygateway account but can't seem to find the secondary...any help would be very appreciated

Anyone else's application portal show the secondary as "incomplete"? I submitted 5/29 and went to edit and sure enough it says it was submitted 5/29 and no changes can be made but status still says "incomplete". I'm going nuts here

Hell yea! Thanks wysdoc!UTSW makes the secondary available to you and you may submit it when you are ready, don’t need to wait to be invited or wait to hear about your primary. Proofread it one more time and send
For md phd do we just wait for a secondary or do we still access it through the same portal as the TMDSAS people?
5000 characters is nuts. I've seen the 60% rule thrown out before, but what about stopping at 2500 characters for these? Do you think they would care?
Back when I was applying there were less questions but my answers were definitely way shorter than the maximum count. Quality and brevity is much better than random extra filler words to make it look longer.5000 characters is nuts.

MS3 here to answer any questions about clinical years or anything else. Good luck everyone!
Haha you know where to find meCan you answer my clinical years questions?
*Optional. Have you engaged in any public service activities for a duration of greater than a year in length (examples: Military, Peace Corps, Teach for America, etc.). Yes or No? If so, please describe the experience and impact on your personal and professional development.
Is this asking specifically about these types of activities that dominate that period of time? E.g. does my part-time volunteering at a homeless shelter for two years count? It seems not.

If you think about it, just to go through your app once, they'll have to read AT LEAST 5 essays that range from 400-800 words. I have no idea how they'd be able to go through so many apps in such little time if they really critically read each essay.5000 characters is nuts.

So my app was transmitted on 6/25 but I haven't had any communication from UTSW saying it was received. Has anyone else had a long wait / do you know if this is normal?
Okay, sweet; I'm glad too! I'm submitting my secondary tonight for them.My app was transmitted that same day and I still haven't gotten any message from them saying that they've received it. Went ahead and submitted my secondary anyway, and got an emailing confirming they received that. I am glad I'm not the only one who didn't get the initial email though.
The fact that we both didn't get an email when everyone else did got me thinking, and so I emailed UTSW admissions yesterday to ask about this issue. I was told that they had send me an email in early July. Looked through my inbox, junk folder, and deleted folder and didn't find the email so I called admissions today and found out that they had spelled my email address incorrectly. It might be worth it to call them and inquire about yours as well.Okay, sweet; I'm glad too! I'm submitting my secondary tonight for them.
