My portal has "secondary app" highlighted but not "under review." Is this the same for everybody who submitted their secondary?

Yup same! How do we know if they have received out letter?

I still need to write my challenge one.

 

[LukaDoncicLuk]

I got verified late (7/20) and got the secondary screening email but no secondary. Maybe my GPA is just too low (3.3 525). Fingers crossed.

They have an autoscreen and holistic screen right? Or am I incorrect. Always so confusing what school has what screening criteria.

I’m not sure but I can tell ya the holistic screen wasn’t applied to me because I received the secondary at 4am which obviously seems auto

SDN thread from last year says they did send rejections. Anyone know if they send secondary declines?

Weird request, lol. For anyone who has MSAR, what is their mean matriculated (not accepted) MCAT? Thanks 🙂

They sent II starting mid august last year so that's coming up, but they sent secondaries a week earlier so who knows maybe they'll start II this week this year

My portal actually had "under review" highlighted right after I submitted the secondary yesterday but now it's not highlighted anymore, so I think we're fine? Or maybe it means they're done reviewing my app and decides to not look at it anymore 🙁

[num76]

Uhhhhh so I now have the option to schedule an interview on the portal but I haven't gotten an email or anything. Anyone else have this? Looks like IIs started around this time last year so hoping this is real!

Was just wondering the same thing! For those who got II, how long was your app “under review?”

 

[reddyice]

It's the first wave, so to get one just takes some chance and killer luck, so you still have a lot of opportunities. 😀 Bet you'll get 1 later

ill take you on that bet friend

 

[Broseiden]

Current student here willing to take some questions since I found these kind of things helpful when I was applying. Interviews are starting in a couple of weeks here, from what I heard.

It took me a while to choose this place, but I have not at all regretted my choice. Seriously, I love it here. I'm constantly blown away by the continued benefits and resources I get as a student here. Plus Nashville is a ballin city.

Shoot me any questions you got about daily life or whatever is on your mind.

Does anyone know if Vandy admissions accepts employment/activity updates after secondary submission?

 

[tanbrucewayne]

YES! You're the first person to get the reference! Good luck to you, my friend!

Saw the show on Broadway last summer! LOVE IT, and the cast album is amazing.
Also, Derek Klena is a babe.
Anyways, best of luck to you as well 🙂 hope our paths cross at some point this cycle!!

 

[JaChris]

their automatic screen last year was 515 and 3.5 right? does anyone who's received a secondary already have below this?

3.63 cGPA, 3.58 sGPA, 513 MCAT, ORM

Added Vanderbilt to my school list on AMCAS yesterday at 10 AM. I got the application received message at 3 AM, along with the secondary invite lol

So I guess this means one of two things:

1. the auto screen is much lower than thought. Maybe GPA >3.5 and MCAT > 510?
2. I didn't make the auto-screen but something impressed them enough to send me a secondary at 3 AM

2 sounds reasonable.

 

[Beluga32313]

Just got an II! So excited 🙂

 

[doofenshmirtz it]

Congratulations! One of my top choices.... Mind sharing stats?

 

[hhap1234]

For those with IIs, did your portal change to “under review” before you got the invite?
