SAME!!!! I think we just need to stay patient and continue to stay positive during this thing. Applying to medical school is such a random process.

So do we email them first before we go to the payment website? Will they give us a code or will the system know we are FAP applicants after emailing them?
And thank you in advance for this!

So I submitted my secondary, uploaded my picture, and I was curious about the payment process. In the e-mail it says it would be waived but when I went to the payment website, it was letting me process it.
I e-mailed Admissions and they said to send a copy of our FAP waiver and they will process it themselves.
sorry if this wasn’t helpful but this is what I did haha.
haha it's cool. I'll just sent them an email confirming they know of my FAP waiver and attach a copy of the waiver in the email.
Congrats!!! When did you receive and submit your secondary?

God damn BEAST mode...congrats!!! Still haven't received a secondary lol
Secondary received 08/20
Submitted 08/22?
if you read above, I ran into some issues processing the payment. I sent my FAP waiver details two days ago and just received the II today at 14:00PM.
Okay cool. Thanks! About to send mine later today. What interview dates do they have so far?
I don’t have access to my laptop at the moment, will update soon.

You have been receiving a lot of interview invites. Do you mind sharing stats?
i only have 2 interview invites. I hope that doesn’t come off the wrong way, I’m extremely thankful, but definitely not a lot by any means. Sorry if I come off that way. This is my first cycle and I don’t know how to behave myself haha.

Those who received secondaries, how long after you received the "Primary Application received" email did you receive the secondary? It's been about 10 days since I received that email

hmmm...Yeah I definitely passed over lol
I'm OOS. Keep the faith!
Hey this is just like the first round of invites. As a caveat, I'm super nontraditional-lots of school and work/life experience. I'm also a reapplicant. They quickly rejected me the first time I applied lmao
Do they really wait until January to send out acceptances? That's a grueling waiting period especially if you interview early
I still haven't received a secondary here yet. It's really discouraging because this is one of my top 2 choices
Oh, one more question, did they call and/or emailed the interview invite?
Just submitted my secondary. *crosses fingers* For those wondering about the number of LORs, (I'm too lazy to scroll up to find out who asked lol), Drew asks for 3-5. They tell you that after you submit the secondary.

Didn't get a secondary and it's been 2 weeks :/
Yeah, I submitted to them about a month ago. I had the primary received email, but no secondary still...
Did they say anything to after you emailed your FAP waiver? Like a confirmation?
I sent everything Friday afternoon

When did you submit your secondary?

Gotcha! Congrats. I think because of COVID, especially with you being in Cali, they are still reviewing and interviewing without MCATs. They sent me a secondary even tho my MCAT is Lowwwww and im retaking the MCAT in September as well

Its been two weeks since I received the "primary application received" email. When do you think is a good time to reach out about receiving a secondary? I'm only pursuing reaching out because I have a strong mission fit with the school.

oh ok wasnt sure since I know a couple of schools switched up because of the virtual aspect.
Im scheduled for the same day and they haven’t followed up with me. Just have to wait and be patient. This school is on the list for VITA so I’m curious how they’re handling that.
Btw this is they said regarding MCAT
RESPONSE TO COVID-19 PANDEMIC - MCAT
We will accept applications from individuals who were unable to take the MCAT due to COVID-related test cancellations. For these candidates, we will base secondary application decisions on the information that is available to us at the time of the application. Assuming that MCAT testing resumes prior to October, we will require applicants to have taken the MCAT before we make admissions decisions for the Class of 2025. Accordingly, applicants should not delay applying simply because an MCAT score is not yet available.

following this mainly -- i didnt even know it was rly an option to reach out about sending a secondary, bc their email said we should expect them now til november? what r other folks thoughts?
