when it says list the classes the satisfy the Biology with Lab prerequiste. Does that mean you should list 8 hours of bio classes and 8 hours of labs? or 4 and 4?
Yeah, I called the admissions office about the letters thing because I sent my committee letter and three others. They said it isn't a huge issue, they just wanted applicants to be cognizant of time constraints. I think if you have a solid application and do well with your secondaries, the extra letters won't seriously hurt you. They might have it in the back of their minds, but it sounded to me like it was a pretty minor consideration.
Nope I don't think soHas anyone gotten an interview notification yet from Emory SOM?
Not me!Nope I don't think so
Last year the didn’t seem to go out until late AugustHas anyone gotten an interview notification yet from Emory SOM?
Any difference between these two questions?
List your entire curriculum plan for the current academic year. If you are not currently in school, please briefly describe your plans for the coming year.
If you have any updates or new information to report since you have submitted your AMCAS primary application, please briefly describe below.
Is the latter a required question?
Hi guys! Just wondering if the 1 year science requirement means that we have to have 1 year of lab as well? I went to a quarter system school and only had to take 3 quarters of physics + 2 quarters of physics lab. Same for Ochem. I'm not sure if it's okay?
There were discussions but they were not lab at all. The labs are separate :/Is there “discussion”? That counts as lab
What do heatlh related experiences include? Volunteering? Oncology research that does not involve patient contact? Physician shadowing? Being a primary caregiver and taking my father to medical appointments and caring for him after surgery? Being a patient myself undergoing a bone realignment sugery/
I mean psychology isn't considered in your science GPA and stuff because it's not a "hard science" so I'd probably send the other to be safe. I'm in the same exact boat as you but I haven't been using my psych letter as a science letter cause I don't want to risk it. You could always call to clarify I supposed though.Something I've been thinking about recently, and would like some input on: one of the two science letters I submitted was from my PI in a psychology/psychiatry lab. It's more scientific work than the science classes I got my STEM professor letters from, so I decided to use it rather than one of the STEM prof. letters, but I wonder if that was a bad idea because the lab might be thought of as social science. Should I add my fourth letter? Emory seems really specific about only having three.
They are not necessarily the same.for the secondary, isn't the first prompt (If you are not currently in school, please briefly describe your plans for the coming year) the same as the last one (If you have any updates or new information to report since you have submitted your AMCAS primary application, please briefly describe below)
like am i supposed to write the same thing for both?

Dumb question but would it be okay to double-list my courses for English as Humanities as well? I am 1 unit short arghhh.
Hmm I'm guessing not but could call and ask? I would do that rather than just doing it and then finding out down the road that they deferred you or something because of it. Did you not really take any humanities classes other than English? History, philosophy, etc? Don't remember how many were required for Emory but I remember I had more than enough without even trying just cause my school required them, and I went to a large state school.
Interview invites anyone? I know it's still a bit early but thought I'd ask
For 'What do you consider to be the role of the physician in the community?' do you also include what your personal goals are?
Considering they haven’t even started sending interviews I have no ideais Emory receptive to in the area requests?
shoot ya shot. as long as u get your secondary in before labor day, you'll be fine!is it too late for me to apply to the school? My primary app has been verified by amcas, but I want to try to apply to Emory by sending them my primary now. OOS student, 515 mcat, 3.98 gpa.
First one was the 28th last yearDoes anyone have an idea of when interview invites start going out? I believe the first round of interviews is supposed to occur during the second week of September. Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback!First one was the 28th last year
Can you send an additional letter from AMCAS, after submitting the secondary for Emory?
Apparently, no. It's so weird... It's already September. Maybe Hurricane Dorian is delaying the process? I know there are areas being evacuated for safety.Still no II for anyone??
I think last year the first interviews were held during the second week of September.When is the first day of interviews usually? Anyone know?
Apparently, no. It's so weird... It's already September. Maybe Hurricane Dorian is delaying the process? I know there are areas being evacuated for safety.
Lol! Oh, my God, what's going on with Emory, then? I hope that some interview invites start going out by the end of this week.Lol I live in Atlanta and it's been 100% sunny the last few days and is forecasted to be the same so this definitely isn't it.
What changes?I wonder if it has something to do with the changes starting last cycle. This isn't the only school I'm applying to that's off their normal cycle
The new traffic laws. I don't fully understand them but it seems they ultimately reduced waitlist traffic by incentivizing schools to give out fewer overall acceptances. I'm sure someone else on this thread/SDN in general could give a better synopsis than me though.What changes?
Oh fantastic. Of course it has to start this year!The new traffic laws. I don't fully understand them but it seems they ultimately reduced waitlist traffic by incentivizing schools to give out fewer overall acceptances.

It technically started last year haha but we're definitely feeling the effects of itOh fantastic. Of course it has to start this year!
Confirmed with admissions office that II have not been sent out yet but interviews will indeed be happening in September
or they just have 1 or 2 interview dates in late Septemberyikes, interviews will come in a massive batch then
I think this is probably the case. They did say they'd be sending them soon so hopefully, there is movement by the end of this week!or they just have 1 or 2 interview dates in late September
I would've been like..."soon? how soon? today soon? what complete dates? TELL ME!"I think this is probably the case. They did say they'd be sending them soon so hopefully, there is movement by the end of this week!
Finally! Congratulations!they have started! II earlier today definitely super excited about emory its absolutely one of top choices! OOS and complete 7/20. Two dates available in sept for me but had to pick one in october
