Just hit the submit. 2 weeks is not a hard and fast rule.

Not at all

I know they have weird letter requirements, but is it okay to submit the secondary without the exemptions? I emailed them Monday and still haven't heard back.

Did you hear back about this? I just realized I submitted my application and wrote about something else in the optional essay

 

[Internationalphysician]

Is there any way to send an update or upload on the portal?

Is this school research heavy?

Is this school research heavy?

There are a lot of opportunities for research and as a medical student you do have to participate in one of the research tracts. But, beyond this it is up to you whether you want to be involved in more research or not.

Sorry, should've been more specific. I meant research heavy as in do they prefer applicants with tons of research experience?

 

[starnight10]

"To activate your application, please complete and return this form with your activation fee within two (2)weeks."

What exactly does this mean? They said their deadline was sometime in January? I submitted the application in 3 weeks...

 

[OHCA]

It does seem like it. 93% of their matriculants last year had research experience according to MSAR.

I don't think I have heard of them being more inclined towards a candidate with more research experience but anything and everything you do is important in your application

 

[catladybutnormal]

I didn't realize that there was a 2 week deadline to submit the secondary (the website states: To activate your application, please complete and return this form with your activation fee within two (2)weeks.)

Should I even bother submitting it today?

idk where you and @starnight10 are reading that, but I never paid any activation fee?

I think they mean the secondary app, along with the fee.

EDIT: I see it now - hmm you could call and ask?

I'll give them a call on Monday and update you guys.

Can't control it now, best not to worry about it and let the rest of your app shine

 

[chicagocavalier15]

Nothing worse than finding a typo in your secondary application after just submitting it ... RIP

I was editing one of my essays cause it's my diversity one (found a minor mistake in one version) smh so I feel your pain.

 

[deleted820490]

They really don't. I don't have a chem, phys, or humanities letter and they said it's fine.

how did you answer that question on the secondary application?

 

[starnight10]

I called and they said not to worry about the "2 weeks" thing.

 

[pattysal]

I literally just noticed a typo in my submitted secondary in a sentence about the importance of making mistakes and learning from them. Hate to see it
Hopefully not too damaging

 

[SweetBurger]

Lol idk if yall are talking about different secondaries, but I didnt see any diversity essay on the Kimmel secondary. Guess i majorly screwed up lmao.

No you're good! There was only one prompt and thats the one I was taking about

 

[Jhepp23]

how did you answer that question on the secondary application?

Wondering this as well. Do I select none of the options or do I select the individual letters option even if my letters don’t fulfill the exact requirements? Will it even let me submit if I haven’t selected any of those options?

 

[wmswang]

Is there a separate prompt for reapplicants? If not, I was thinking about using the space to talk about what I did to improve since last applying and to write about other stuff I couldn't fit into my primary.

 

[km425]

I never received the complete email even though everything was submitted on June 30. I emailed them today and they sent the complete email. Does that mean this entire time my application wasn't being reviewed? For those of you who have gotten II did you get a complete email?

I just got the complete email too. But I submitted June 30, my portal says my application was complete since July 1, and my status has been "under review" for a while now. Confused.

Considering a lot of us submitted before you, and you're the only one with an invite so far (in this thread)... I wonder if everyone who just got the complete email hasn't even had their apps looked at lmao

I also saw the complete email (6/29) this morning and once I saw the "Congratulations" my heart dropped! I can't even describe to you the disappointment I felt, ruined my mood

Every morning thus far I’ve been feeling the same level of anger and anxiety. I’m tryna make sure my LOR are all good, so I’m waiting for the decision for some of these damn early schools that have been sending out II, so I haven’t sent most of my LOR to the other schools I’ve completed

Is there a premed advisor or committee at your school who can review LOR? I was worried about one of mine and mentioned it to my premed advisor, but she told me she read it and I should use it
