Due to the lack of comments here, I'm assuming they haven't sent out secondaries yet?

Nope, I've been getting most of mine in the early waves as well.

Anyone know what their screen is?

Pretty sure they do a thorough holistic review of apps. I dont think there are stats cutoffs.
 
Due to the "holistic" screen I figure it'll be late July
 
I haven't received all my letters of rec yet. Do you guys know if LOR's are part of the holistic screen?

For the question: "If you are 2019 or earlier college graduate, please use the space below to tell us what you have done since completing your undergraduate degree. (350 words)"

Can I answer this question if I am graduating in December 2019 (and having a gap semester before medical school)?

Yes
 
Anyone writing anything on the “expand on or update your activities”?
 
I went into a bit more detail on how my courses and volunteering prepared me for a medical career

For MSTP, are the MD prompts also included (elaborate on an activity)? Or does the recent research project essentially cover that?

Edit: for future reference, yes, this prompt is included for MSTP.
