Nope! I'm guessing Monday.

 

[constantlyconfusedpremed]

Has anyone received a secondary yet?

 

[aspiringdocTORofmed]

Just a heads up, the secondary prompts are the same but the character counts are lower than what they have previously been!

Do you need your letters of rec to get a secondary?

 

[merk33]

Do you need your letters of rec to get a secondary?

I'm not quite sure. I had mine, but this may be a question for the admissions office.

 

[marisa_ky]

Do you need your letters of rec to get a secondary?

nope. mine aren't submitted and I got a secondary yesterday.

 

[Caterpillar34]

Anyone still not have a secondary?

 

[aspiringdocTORofmed]

Do you need your letters of rec to get a secondary?

You don’t need letters of rec to receive the secondary but you do need them for your application to be “complete” and thus be able to get an interview! They will not look at it until it’s complete.

 

[vivalavida97]

Anyone still not have a secondary?

I still have not received one either. OOS

 

[CountDown2020]

None here either. Starting to wonder if they may be having systems issues.

same. OOS MD/PhD.

 

[vivalavida97]

Would it be okay to email them and just explain our ties in the text of the email? Or are pdf/word attachments preferred for things like this?

I think an email would suffice. Wondering whether MD/PhD should wait it out or email as well?

 

[aspiringdocTORofmed]

I received one around 4pm! Good luck to you with your interview!!

 

[pursuingmed2]

OOS. Primary application sent in on 7/21. Just received the secondary invite this morning! I was born in Kentucky and my dad completed his internal medicine residency at this school, so I have some ties to the state for any OOS people that are wondering.

 

[Caterpillar34]

IS. Sent primary in 7/16, still nothing. LizzyM 75, don't think I got pre-screened.

 

[km00800]

I got an invite for an interview today. I'm not early decision.
I submitted my primary late May, got my secondary application early last week and submitted it the end of last week.

 

[vivalavida97]

Has anyone gotten a response after sending an email explaining ties to the state?

 

[mb3londyn]

Do you mind saying which campus? Good luck!

 

[sundayko]

Did you end up sending an email? I'm also md/phd and havent received a secondary yet after that initial email we received.

lmao not yet...
I went back to last-year's thread and apparently some people got that email, and later also received secondaries without doing anything. Couldn't tell if they were MD/PhD tho...

 

[km00800]

Do you mind saying which campus? Good luck!

I specified my interest in attending at their Lexington main campus and the interview options for me were all at the Lexington campus.
Also, thank you!

 

[superkings]

Did anyone who is a Kentucky resident complete the optional essays required for out-of-state applicants?
Good luck to everyone!

 

[merk33]

No. As far as I understand, you should only complete the optional essays if you are OOS.

 

[mb3londyn]

Secondary received and submitted today! 🙂 Good luck to everyone!

 

[aspiringdocTORofmed]

No. As far as I understand, you should only complete the optional essays if you are OOS.

I’m IS, and I did all of them. My KY ties essay was pretty brief but I used it to explain the different places in Ky that I lived in and how my family still lives here and all that jazz. Definitely not required to do but not going to hurt either!

When did you submit your primary if I may ask? I am an IS applicant and was approved 7/17. I have not gotten any emails whatsoever from them. Should I have gotten a primary application approval email? I am confused why a OOS 7/21 got their secondary already and I haven't. Do you think I should call?

 

[mb3londyn]

Should we receive a "complete" email after submitting the secondary and $50 fee?

 

[merk33]

Should we receive a "complete" email after submitting the secondary and $50 fee?

I did not. I see it in my bank statement so I know it was paid lol.

I would definitely call as all IS is guaranteed a secondary I believe (I could be wrong so don’t quote me). Also I submitted my primary within the first week and submitted my secondary the first day I could! But yes, 100% call them because they have been having problems with some people not receiving secondaries in the past!

 

[aspiringdocTORofmed]

I believe you just receive a receipt email for your payment, that’s all I remember getting!

 

[vivalavida97]

Still no secondary. OOS and sent an email explaining ties to the state

 

[ReturnToMed]

Anyone IS still not getting a secondary? I was verified on July 19th.

 

[pursuingmed2]

Good lord, this secondary is long (especially for OOS students). Best of luck to everyone!

 

[sundayko]

;/ Still waiting on the secondary. MD/PhD, OOS.

Same here! They're my last school. I just want to be done writing secondaries already.
