I thought the same thing! I wonder if immediately means in the next few day or what...
Immediately as in as soon as a decision is made ie not in waves
Definitely interesting! I wonder how they stratify applications for review. If it's chronological, the earliest submitters would likely hear back within the next few weeks.
Yeah, they want brief so maybe like a sentence or two on what you did superficially should suffice. Probably just want to see that you have experience.
I'd certainly include health research in non-clinical settings, since your work focuses on health. I'm less sure about health education tutoring, which seems like more of a stretch.
Are you writing your plans pretty straight forward or elaborating on the 'why'. I feel like I will be waaay under the character count but I dont really see a need to describe in-depth my plans.
I followed advice from this site: How to Get Into Emory Medical School: Requirements and Strategies — Shemmassian Academic Consulting
so if I don't meet the humanities requirement I probably shouldn't apply right...?
That's what I wanted to do, but given the character limit....HOW? Lol. Oh well, hopefully being descriptive won't sink my application. I think I'm a pretty solid potential candidate otherwise, so maybe it won't matter too much.
I'm with you on this one. I made a list and included a one-sentence summary of what I saw/learned. I had like 8 experiences on my list...there's literally barely enough room for me to list them, let alone write a narrative. I'm not too concerned, since the rest of my secondary, my work/activities, and PS are all very narrative.
I think it's fine. They are asking for every single experience, so for folks who have many experiences, you really don't have a choice. For work/activities and PS, I think narrative is okay as long as it is reflective as well. work/activities need to in some way demonstrate what you got from the experience, and PS just needs to demonstrate why you want to go to medical school. I'm sure you're fine!
I submitted my primary May 28, and in the last month some of my hours changed (some activities ended unexpectedly, so I doubled up hours on others), so that's what I mentioned really briefly.
I'm leaving the updates/new information prompt blank.
I sense that you are a fellow UM student. I put mine like this: BIL 150/151/160/161/255
Semester hours = credits
I see, thank you!
Bump, I'm a bit stuck on this one too. I assume they're not looking for just a job description.
I think it's important to note that the question asks about the physician's role in the community, i.e., how do you believe physicians impact/serve their communities?Bump, I'm a bit stuck on this one too. I assume they're not looking for just a job description.
Why don't you just photoshop the logo out of the pic?
oooh i tried but it looks janky, i am no photoshop whiz
They are flexible with these requirements. Sounds like your Pchem would suffice. Just email them and ask.
I emailed them and they responded already! Basically they said that there's no definitive answer and that it's up to the discretion of the committee. Either way, the decision can only be made when a complete application is submitted. They also emphasized that "exceptions are made, but they are rare and made for individuals with very high grades or who demonstrate an exceptional aptitude in the sciences in other areas (strong MCAT scores, published research, etc.)."

Hey I’m sure your response is great! I used this “secondary guide” when writing my secondaries:
How to Get Into Emory Medical School: Requirements and Strategies — Shemmassian Academic Consulting
Learn the Emory Medical School ranking and admissions strategies, plus how to approach the Emory secondary application essays (examples included)
You’ve probably already seen this, but it gives some good tips for writing about gap years. Anyways, best of luck!
It says Aug 2020 on MSAR so I expect this week or next
