In the link they have sent for the secondary, it is taking me to another school's website where I have already completed a secondary for. Is this happening with anyone else?
This happened for me with other schools. Log out from that school exit the browser and reopen and try to HU link again

Hi Everyone! To anyone who has received a secondary invitation -- would you mind posting the prompts?! Thank you!!!!
Logging out under the same web browser didn't, but I copy and pasted the link under Safari instead of Google Chrome and it worked.
If anyone else has this issue and only has one browser downloaded, just clear your cookies and you should be fine. I had this issue with multiple schools as well. Using the gateway link must be hot this cycle.

Does anyone know if secondaries are being sent to those pending mcat?
Also, secondary essay(s) prompt(s) anyone?
Also, secondary essay(s) prompt(s) anyone?
I took the mcat once before but still have a pending date on my AMCAS, I'm not sure about those who are first time test takers. The prompts are the same as last years!
- Have you lived (for three years or more) in communities which are medically underserved, or where the majority of the population is economically and/or educationally disadvantaged?
- After residency, do you plan to practice medicine in an underserved or disadvantaged community?
- Have you worked (volunteer or paid employment) with medically underserved, economically disadvantaged and/or educationally disadvantaged populations?
- Please provide below any additional information you believe is important in evaluating your application (e.g. additional coursework, problems with academic record; disadvantaged, etc.)
Nine for me. Can't even access any of that stuff anymore cuz it's archived...
Thank you!

I am pretty sure that is a self report
It is done! Sealed in Heaven
The email said they will take 2-4 weeks to acknowledge receipt of our secondary! Right now, that's the worst part haha.
Secondary questions and word counts look exactly the same as last year as far as I can tell!
Regarding the SAT, "Please respond providing your total score on the 400-1600 scale or the 200-800 scale depending on whether you took the old SATs......."What do you do when they were out of 2400 in my time.... (when did it even change back to 1600.......)? Do you just add the Math & Critical Reading scores?

Yay, congrats!!!
No secondary essays?? I already had mine drafted 🙁 So what exactly are they asking for this year? Please elaborate!

There are secondary essays
They havean interactive, digital version of your transcript uploaded and you can just click and choose the prereqs, rather than having to refer to your transcript and type it out.

What is first Friday?
You have to register on the secondary portal. They have a link there.
Virtual open house
I haven’t applied yet , so I’ll email admissions and hopefully they can send one out.
