Members do not see this ad.

so looks like it's being sent to everyone who received an "under review" email in the past

I've received the update email and I'm still "complete"

Who knows how these schools operate. As long as it’s not a rejection, we should all be happy. Just pray for the best ya’ll.

 

[meepdog]

Perhaps those who got the email met their absurd 1000+ hr community service requirements?
Part of the email is " Please rest assured that your application is still under consideration." --- so doesn't that imply that those that didn't receive it (and were complete at similar times) are not under consideration? DON'T SHOOT ME - genuinely just curious....
is this the first year they are doing this?

Didn't get the email, have several times that requirement.

Maybe we will hear back from them tomorrow 😉

 

[Jappa]

+1... so... are we not being considered for an II? lol

I spoke too soon. I ended up getting this email hours later lol

 

[Peter Pan.]

[CaptainZeki]

Didn't get the email, but I have 1100 volunteer hours and 5000 clinical hours. Complete 7/14. *cue internal screaming*

 

[756034]

I did, on Wednesday. But I also sent them my primary on Monday cuz it somehow slipped through the cracks for me, even though I prewrote their secondaries. Submitted secondaries today 9/13

I'm a little confused. II is interview invite.

Oops. I interpreted II as secondary. My bad. I'm a little older and don't come on SDN as often.

Either way, congrats on submitting your secondary! I wish you the best 🙂

OOS, LM 67 ish, complete 8/5, first date available was 9/18, seemed like every Wednesday after. Service is kinda my calling card and i have a lootttttttt of it for context.

I’m 6’5, white, middle class, cis gender. My diversity statement was fire. But for real tho My entire application and story is service lol I’m not underplaying it.

Seems like that email was sent out to those whom haven't had a decision made for II/Hold/Rejection? Not sure

I’m going to hazard a guess and say it means NOTHING. everyone chill 🙂 enjoy you’re nice beautiful September day.

 

[bballar313]

Secondaries took me longer than I expected. I submitted 15 schools already and plan to submit 5 more by the end of this week. This school is on my list. Do you guys think sending secondaries near the end of September will drastically reduce my chances for a II? 511 MCAT 3.6-3.8 gpa first gen economically disadvantaged.

I would appreciate any input!

Yes, usually people who submit late get an II because they have high stats, but even then the chances are lower than if they had submitted early or even on time.

generally speaking, a later application is at a disadvantage relative to an earlier one (also influenced by many confounding variables). its hard for anyone to say how your specific application will be viewed by the adcoms. that being said, you're later than most but you also miss every shot you don't take. if $$ isn't a concern then shoot

anyone else just get an application update from Rush? was basically a "I know you applied forever ago but youre still under consideration just sit tight for a bit"
