Submitted my video secondary last night! It was actually pretty fun and felt like I was really able to showcase myself. Hoping to get an interview within the next couple weeks!

okay so first I mean no disrespect, but how creative can I be with the secondary video? Would it be wrong to include pictures about myself? I have a food blog and it's a really big passion for me but I don't want to give it an Elle-Woods vibe.

Hey you can be as creative as you like. The secondary is a chance for them to know you as a person so use this opportunity to showcase your talent, character and passion. Be sure to answer all the questions, be confident and just have fun with it at least that’s what I did!

I (thankfully) received a II and included several photos and videos of my family and my hobbies (including cooking!) while answering “who are you” and “what are you passionate about?” I think you can have fun with it as long as you answer the questions fully and come off professional.

I may or may not have a photo of Gordon Ramsey in my video....

So I submitted my secondary on 11/11 and haven’t heard back. You guys think that means R? Most people got their II pretty quick.

Thanksgiving will shake this up. I don't imagine there will be much movement with applications this week.

Same. Submitted my secondary on 11/13. Praying for an interview. Yeah the admissions said they would be closed during thanksgiving. So I would just enjoy thanksgiving and wait until next week.

Anyone know how often the send out Rs? I’m imagining I get mine soon since I sent my secondary on 11/11. Feeling disappointed as I felt my application/secondary was really strong.

How will the MCAT work with offers of acceptance? I know Noorda is accepting applications without that. Will they accept students with out it so long as it is completed prior to matriculation? @Noorda-COM Admissions ? I am curious if someone could be offered and interview and then rejected due to no MCAT?

Getting ready to submit my primary. Anyone else get an interview without an MCAT? What are your plans for the MCAT? Low Key stressing about this lol.
 
okay, so I finished my video and its all creative but I'm lowkey worried about my lack of editing lol I don't really know how to take out ums but there aren't that many and I tried to be authentic. sooo does anyone have any experience with ums and such - did anyone still get an II with stuff like that? I have great content otherwise lol
