For all of the "chronological list" questions, did anyone else's experiences overlap?? For example, I've worked as scribe, which is a large part of my clinical experience and my employment history. Should I put it for both or just pick one??

I did the overlap for the same position! I only had another job that overlapped so I didn't think it would be a big deal.
 
It's been nearly a month since I submitted my secondary and still haven't had my letters processed :/ I know I just have to be patient but I seriously don't understand why it's taking so long! No other school I've applied to needed more than a day or two to mark my letters as complete lol
 
Wow I'm so glad I went to go check my status because apparently they never got my photo so I wasn't even complete.
 
HI all. First time applicant here trying to wrap up the secondary. I spent the last couple of days going through this thread and couldnt find the following question I have:

"Please provide a chronological list with dates AND a brief description of your clinical experiences/shadowing."

1. Seems to be the only question/prompt that states 'AND a brief description' All the other experiences (i.e. community service and employment' do not state this. Thus, should we only add that 1-3 sentence for clinical experiences but not community service and work?

2. I was also curious about the "double dipping" (i.e. Clinical Employment) is both "clinical experience" for the prompt above as well as Work Experiences. So I saw someone post that they did double dip but only mentioned it briefly in the other respective prompt such as "Please refer to 3 for full description." But I am curious if anyone else is just saying it again, the full description, twice?

3. Anybody else battling with whether to put a great leadership experience that stems from student-run efforts as part of the leadership prompt vs. student organization (optional prompts). I have a couple of ECs that could fit to answer both of these Q's but it seems per their secondary instructions that optional prompts dont hold too much weight (but yet low key we all know they do). So my issue is I dont want to use a bomb ass response on leadership to place it in a student organization "optional" prompt if it runs the chance of diluting the experience.

SMH. This secondary is a mess.
 
Scored today for MD/PhD. Same message I got last year, so I’m expecting it’s just another soft R 🙁
 
My letters are still not received and its been well over a month since I submitted my secondary .... I have emailed them and called them numerous time to no avail, anyone have any advice for this?

Unfortunately not. Looks like they are more delayed now than they were when mine was processed. At that time, they were about 2 weeks behind.
 
Have anyone's letters been added recently? Been almost a month, but still waiting on my letters be added
 
Soo for the chronological questions, I answered in reverse chronological and didn't realize until now (used to the resume style writing). Has anyone done this before? I feel like I'm freaking out something very minor...

Don't freak out. What do you mean? I think I also did reverse chronological -- newest at the time. As long as it's, like, temporally distributed in some way I'm sure it's okay.
 
When you get scored, do you see the numeric value of what score you have received? My status changed from under review to your application has been reviewed by admissions committee. Would this be considered scored?

You don't see the numeric. What you see on your status is what everybody refers to as "scored"

Any idea whether the glitch in the system means that the LORs are received, but just not updated on our screen, or if it means that they straight up still don't have the LORs??

I submitted on 8/13, and my letters still say missing even though it says my application is currently under review??
 
Yo, has anyone else's secondary prompts changed? I have a different first prompt and added last prompt
 
I've never heard of systematic discrimination. I've heard of systemic discrimination. According to google, systematic discrimination is synonymous with institutional discrimination......and systemic discrimination is also synonymous with institutional discrimination. Are systemic and systematic synonymous?

Huge discussion already on it; 99.9% sure they meant systemic discrimination. In one of their diversity statements they continuously mention systemic racism. In either case, you'd be safe using either term. They moreso care about your values and your ability to take action rather than your myopic view on semantics lmfao.
