When were you verified? If you don't mind my asking!
+1, I was verified around the same time. I don't think they screen so I wouldn't worry about receiving the secondary. Likely coming in waves.5/30
Thanks! I'm excited to see what their secondaries are, I really love the look of their program

Me too. Verified on day 1. Guess we'll have to wait until next week when the other 9847359824735 secondaries come.Verified weeks ago, and nothing!
Just to clarify, the challenges prompt is just a traditional challenges/adversity prompt?
For the failure one, can we use a high school experience?
Yea, I'm writing about photography for this oneFor the lifelong learning prompt, is it okay to talk about hobbies?
as @Fruitjuice said, I think this is specifically asking for a time where something went wrong/you didn't achieve an end, etc. The standard challenge prompt is usually asking about a situation you had to get through and how you got through itJust to clarify, the challenges prompt is just a traditional challenges/adversity prompt?

For the third essay, would my passion for teaching be appropriate, tying in how as a physician I hope to teach medical students using my past experiences?
I think this is a fine topic, but keep in mind that linking undergrad teaching experience to desire to be a med school professor is a common thing to write about. I would also link education to medicine itself and explain if teaching had any impact on your desire to pursue medicineFor the third essay, would my passion for teaching be appropriate, tying in how as a physician I hope to teach medical students using my past experiences?
What does area of intellectual exploration mean? Is this referring to, for example, engineering or research? Or is it actually talking about hobbies or personal interests, like playing an instrument or volunteering?

I was thinking of using research for this prompt, but I’d like to hear what others think.
I could be way off here, but I don't think there's anything in the prompt that implies that you should talk about research, although if your research is the result of an intellectual passion then go for it. To me, it sounds like they're just trying to see that you're intellectual and curious, so I chose to talk about something that didn't show up in great detail anywhere else on my application (being a musician).Yeah I would like to know if people are talking about research or hobbies for the exploration question. I wrote about my astronomy hobby but I can't figure out how to tie it to medicine. However, I haven't exactly had a lifelong passion for research...

Me too!Submitted my secondary. For the prompt in question, I talked about my research but not in much detail. It was more of an overall picture of why I got interested in the topic in the first place.
