Kind of a silly question but in our responses, do we literally state "Yes, I have worked with medically underserved populations...?"

That was what I did lol. I was like:
Yes
I did bbhldhxlbvdfvxlbvgdbfx blah blah blah

 

[Internationalphysician]

Anyone submitted this morning received a complete email yet?

Anyone else trying to enjoy the weekends but can’t help but want the week to be here again for another round of “Will this week be the week that I get an interview?”....or is that just me? Lol. Father God please give me strength and PATIENCE.

II already? when did you submit your secondary?

 

[Hope143]

II yesterday afternoon, and Saturday 😉

Congrats!!!! Stats?

 

[RTFO24]

Those with II did you all answer the first prompt to having grown up in a medically underserved area? Just curious because I feel like I might be getting skipped over because of that.

Yeah i answered it, I said I didn’t live in an underserved area

 

[chicayeye96]

Submitted my secondary today!! 🙂 I completed every part of it but have not received any emails from Howard about them receiving my submission. For those who submitted it, did you receive any emails afterward?

 

[RTFO24]

Yeah but it was the next day

 

[chicayeye96]

Received secondary yesterday, submitted last night. Just got email that I'm under full review.
Liking the quick turnaround.
Good luck everyone.

Are your rec letters already on amcas?

 

[Theprofessor’sprofessor]

Has anyone received an II that submitted their application on 9/5

 

[Dreamzz.]

Has anyone received an II that submitted their application on 9/5

I submitted on 9/5 and got the secondary received email on 9/6.

 

[TSHJB302]

Has anyone received an II that submitted their application on 9/5

I submitted my application on 9/5 at around 12:30 AM. I got a complete email around 9 AM and got the interview at 4:45 PM.

 

[Internationalphysician]

Submitted my app on 9/6 around 10 am and still havent received the complete email 🙁

 

[junnny]

Submitted my app on 9/6 around 10 am and still havent received the complete email 🙁

Hopefully we didn't miss the first wave of interviews

 

[CaptainZeki]

Hopefully we didn't miss the first wave of interviews

Im confident we didnt. Theyll def send alot more this week

 

[MD Loading]

I wonder if they consider those with MCAT scores >506 first and then fill the rest of the class.

 

[keanureaves]

I wonder if they consider those with MCAT scores >506 first and then fill the rest of the class.

If that's the case I'm crushing this secondary at lunch and sending ASAP lol

 

[Kiwimd17]

I wonder if they consider those with MCAT scores >506 first and then fill the rest of the class.

I think thats what they've done the past few years. Interview people with high stats at first and then the rest of us lol

 

[jamaicangal99]

Still no complete email and I submitted on Friday... :/

 

[MD Loading]

Still no complete email and I submitted on Friday... :/

But does the email mean that they have received everything for your app? or that they have reviewed it and you should expect to hear from them soon?

 

[jamaicangal99]

But does the email mean that they have received everything for your app? or that they have reviewed it and you should expect to hear from them soon?

From what I understand it means both of those things. They have all of the parts of your app and that you’re under review. It seems like the people that’s submitted within like the first two days got the email but those who submitted afterward haven’t gotten it yet. But someone feel free to correct me

That makes sense. I was there Friday, and they said they had already received more than 500 secondaries for this cycle. I submitted mine on Saturday. I guess first 1000 doesn't hurt lol

 

[CaptainZeki]

The only email ive received from them after submitting my 2ndary is "FROM HOWARD U COLLEGE OF MEDICINE - YOUR SECONDARY HAS BEEN RECEIVED" email that states "This acknowledgement email means that all of your current documents have been received and your file is currently under full review. This could take 4-6 weeks for a full review."

 

[junnny]

Im confident we didnt. Theyll def send alot more this week

how are you so confident?

Yes, I have not gotten anything like that! When did you submit?

Oh goodness. Lol I like the optimism

 

[junnny]

I just spoke with them and they typically send an email within 24 hours of the secondary being received or 72 hours if received on a weekend.

 

[CaptainZeki]

how are you so confident?

because I dont have room in me to be pessimistic 🙂

 

[chicayeye96]

Hopefully we didn't miss the first wave of interviews

Do all of y’all already have your letters sent in to AMCAS? I think my committee letter is holding back my app from being reviewed

 

[mezeana1]

hey guys, i'm curious as to how y'all are answering the provide any additional info section. I'm not disadvantaged and don't have any problems with my academic record. should i just leave this blank or do i use this as sumn else
**i'm sure yall can see how neurotic i am

 

[Dreamzz.]

Do all of y’all already have your letters sent in to AMCAS? I think my committee letter is holding back my app from being reviewed

Yeah definitely follow up on that. I told my pre-med advisor that my application was incomplete because of the committee letter and they had it uploaded the next day.

 

[lromero95]

I wonder if they consider those with MCAT scores >506 first and then fill the rest of the class.

I don't think that's it. I have a 510, URM, and have lived my whole life in an under-served area. All my letters are in too, so I'm not sure what criteria they're using. All we can do is wait.

 

[keanureaves]

Sent today, complete email ~5 hours later. Don't live in DC but like 1 hour away.

 

[Internationalphysician]

Finally received the complete email. Submitted 9/6 around 10am
