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?

[stylishstudentdoc]

I just got an invite to complete their secondary but it says that it is an Applicant gateway. Can anyone explain what this is please? Thanks in advance

Click the link in the second email!

 

[yallwild]

Hey guys, I don't know about everyone else, but I got an email that said "Please visit your Howard University College of Medicine Regular M.D. program Applicant Gateway" with a link, but when I pressed the link it takes me to an application portal for a secondary from a different school?? Maybe they're using the same gateway, but like I can't see Howard's Secondary Questions. Is anyone else having this issue?

ME TOO SIS. Tuh! No essays?? Never would’ve thought.

There is essays IDK why that person said that. However, it's the same prompts as last year.

 

[yallwild]

secondary submitted 7/23

 

[stylishstudentdoc]

Are you guys listing all classes in the prereqs or just enough to fill the requirement?

I did just enough!

 

[predoc_5476]

Hi Everyone! To anyone who has received a secondary invitation -- would you mind posting the prompts?! Thank you!!!!

 

[14_karat]

Is the word count the same for essays? 250 words or less?

 

[Dr.DreYonce]

It worked?

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?

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...

 

[hello29]

Click the link in the second email!

Thank you!

 

[14_karat]

Are they asking y'all to self-report ACT or do they want an official score report?

 

[patchadams2]

I am pretty sure that is a self report

 

[yallwild]

IDK which is worse. Waiting for the secondary or waiting for the II.

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.

 

[JBubble]

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?

 

[14_karat]

Secondary received!

 

[stylishstudentdoc]

Secondary received!

Yay, congrats!!!

 

[14_karat]

Bless Howard for the prerequisite selection tool haha

There are secondary essays

 

[14_karat]

what prerequisite selection tool?

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.
