The tertiary application is open and available for submission after you submit the secondary.

I am gunning for Interventional Radiology with the tertiary - do y'all think "I like working with my hands, I enjoy a field in which there is a balance between clinical and procedural, I like needing to know total body anatomy, my favorite physiology is vasculature, my experiences as a phlebotomist led me to want to deal with diseases of lifestyle, my father required a stint at 14" is all sufficient? Obviously tying in relevant experiences/values/anecdotes etc.
Is there a certain character/word count they are looking for in the first and second question?

It is not listed so feel free to copypasta your whole Vandy life story in there of you want. However, shorter is better.
Are you guys answering the main question as if it were a diversity essay?

Copypasta of my WUSTL diversity essay with a little bit of NYU flair....
Looks like we have a similar school list! And good to see you brought Hellmo back haha

Anyone else have CASPer showing as incomplete? My other CASPer schools have it registered as complete. Taken 6/13
Mine shows up as complete but I took CASPer in May. Are your letters marked as complete?
9

They are in the system but not marked as complete for some reason.
Same here
I believe it takes a period of time for AMCAS to send it to the school and for processing. I had the same issue with some other secondaries, but within a week it was showing as complete in the portal.

Nah, most schools say complete already

+1, taken on 6/14 and on CASPer it says my score has been delivered to all my schools but in the NYU portal it says not received. Hopefully there's just some lag between when they receive it and when it updates
Everything on my application is complete but the tertiary application. I may have accidentally clicked interested...How do I remove my interest so I can be complete? Or does everyone just say tertiary isn't submitted?
Also wondering this because my app is showing as not completed and I'm wondering if it's because I haven't submitted the tertiary. I do not want to submit it at this time and don't recall indicating that I want to anywhere.

The tertiary application is optional. If you were able to submit the secondary I believe you are GTG But probably reach out to admissions if you are genuinely concerned.
I'll mostly likely give it a day or two before being that person to call admissions since everything else is checked off on my status page
I called admissions yesterday, and they said to give it till Friday and if it's not complete, to give them a call.
Awesome, thanks for the tip!

For the second essay, if we plan to graduate in December, would that qualify as having taken time off? Or does that essay prompt only apply in the past tense?

You will have taken time off by matriculation so I would include it.
Good to know that I am an anomaly then, hopefully!

6/14 CASPer updated as completed now.
Me! did you ever resolve this issue? Wondering if I'm complete or not
Give it another day or two. They will eventually be marked as complete.

This three year MD with residency placement is crazy. So I can basically tell them I want to go into neuro or ortho before even entering med school? Do they take people for competitive specialties, or is the three year program to get more people into primary care? If I apply and select ortho/neuro, how would I explain my decision. Is it enough to have simply shadowed in these field or do i need to have done clinical research in either neuro or ortho? I just don't see how NYU can pick people for these specialties at such an early stage.
I believe the program is for primary care only.

Yes
Idk about that. nyu is
Hi @helpmeout441 , yes, you can say that you want to go into neuro or ortho before entering medical school! Some people have done research or worked in certain speciality fields before arriving at medical school, and know that field is for them! Other people (like myself), come in having no idea what they want to do. They are able to take people for any speciality, although it differs based on class and interest. In my year, there are people in Dermatology, OB/GYN, Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Pediatrics, Interventional Radiology, Primary Care track in internal medicine, Neurology, Ophthalmology, and Otolaryngology 3-year programs(that I can think of off of the top of my head). Keep in mind that a separate interview with the residency director of that program and additional essays are required, and the decision ultimately lies with them. Also, even if you do not know what you are interested in right now or are not accepted to the program upon matriculation, there are opt-in pathways during the first and second year of medical school! I hope this helps to clarify things, let us know if there are any more questions!

When I submitted it was showing my CASPer scores as received, but now it shows them as not received.
How did they get unreceived?

(jk ofc)The last secondary essay says "The following question is designed to assess the ways in which you embody our institution’s core values. Please limit your answer to a maximum of 2500 characters." Does anyone know of a place where they explicitly state their core values?

It’s gonna be the same as most other schools I.e diversity, research, leaders in medicine. I just treated it as a diversity essay.

+1! don't know what happened, when did you take yours?

May
Oh hm! Yeah that is weird, I took mine recently so I was surprised when it originally showed as received since I thought it would take a few weeks anyways. Not sure what is going on but hopefully it gets sorted out soon!
Awesome, thanks. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't the idiot that missed the "Core Values" page on their website.
Anyone uploading to the "Additional Information" tab?
