Does anyone know how late they send out secondaries? I submitted my primary 6/1 and they received my first MCAT 8/10. I retook the MCAT and got my new scores 9/29, but I feel like it is still really weird I haven't heard a single thing from them. Should I reach out or wait a few more weeks?

I know they screen their applicants for secondaries so it might take some time. But for me, I didn't submit my primary to quinnipiac until 9/29 when my new MCAT score was released and I got the secondary the same day.

Hmm, interesting! Thank you for letting me know. I guess I kind of figured they would have already reviewed my application after getting my first MCAT so the second MCAT would just be a quick decision, but I guess not!

I actually contacted admissions before I retook the MCAT to assess my chances of getting a secondary and they told me what score I would need for them to send me a secondary. If it were me waiting for that secondary, I'd send them an email just to check-in and make sure that they have no problems accessing the scores and lowkey remind them to review the new score, especially if you didn't notify them ahead of time that you'll be retaking the MCAT.

Oh, that's good to know, thank you! I didn't even think about that because they were literally the only school I hadn't heard from after I took my first MCAT. Do you mind if I ask what they said the score you needed for a secondary was, or was that specific to you and your grades and your first MCAT?

It was specific to me and my grades. I also did an SMP and they factored that into it as well. They don't publicly share how they calculate that

Ahh, good to know. Well thank you, I really appreciate the response! I'll probably send an email tomorrow or Monday. I really appreciate it!
 
for those who interviewed I can't remember what the Dean said at the end of the session about decisions--could we hear as early as october 15th? Also do schools tend to notify everyone in the same ii wave of WL A R in a timely manner, or do people start receiving the call for acceptances early on, but those that are rejected or WL probably hear later?

I vaguely rember them saying 4-6 weeks from your interview date but that it may take longer due to COVID adjustments.

The dean told my group that they usually release decisions around Oct 15, but due to COVID it’ll be more near the end of October!

cool thanks! do you remember if they said email or phone call? i think it was email last year
 
LAST neurotic question (but only because it's not available on the spreadsheet that goes around lol) ...anyone have an idea from the past few cycles the post interview acceptance rate?

just trying to do some mental math that in no way actually helps but makes me feel better as decision season begins these next few weeks 😀.

The spreadsheet says >85%

Whaaat from last year? That cannot be real but i wish lol. The one I saw didn’t have netter listed so do you mind linking this one even if it sounds inaccurate imo?
Click to expand...

Agreed. It does sound too good to be true

EDIT: But the stats in this spreadsheet about other programs are pretty accurate so I don't think the one for Netter is too far from reality.

Hey guys, I'm an M1 at Netter, if you have any questions about the school let me know!

Do they still have the Catalyst Project? It seems as if Netter had a chapter of Primary Care Progress and on the FB page there is mention of a "Catalyst Project", but it seems like this was from a few years ago?

Besides the Bobcat Community Health Alliance, what other community engagement or student clinic opportunities are there?
 
3picduck said:
I haven't heard of it being mentioned (I'm not as interested in primary care though so I may have just be out of the loop), but the student body is fairly progressive. A lot of the interest groups have mentioned. will hold, or have held talks with physicians in the community about social justice issues, how it impacts their practice and delivery of care, and how we as students and future physicians can both do better and advocate for different groups. We've also had several sessions in our clinical skills course focused on the needs of certain groups (LGTBQ, those with intellectual disabilities, veterans, etc) so it's built into the curriculum as well. I will say the clinical skills course and the MeSH program are highlights of the SOM.

The community clinic is the big one related to medicine. There are also programs to pair you with high school students interested in STEM where you act as a mentor (it's really popular, so much so they had to turn a lot of us away this year) and that let you serve as a mentor to undergrads interested in medicine. Part of the clinical skills class also requires you do some service learning in the community.

THIS ALL SOUND SO GREAT. Dang. Really selling Netter. Now if I don't get an II it will hurt that much more.

What was your experience getting in? Early interview, late interview, when accepted?

Is there anything near the school to do for fun, and culture? Not familiar with mid/south Connecticut, but the program sounds great!

I was in the first round of invites, interviewed on the second interview date, and was accepted in October on the first date.

So I'm not from the CT or New England so it's been an adjustment, I'm probably not the best person to ask just because I've had a pretty negative view of the area so far.

CT is super tiny so even if something isn't right next to the school its not going to be very far. There are a good number of parks if you're into hiking (the school is very close to a state park thats pretty), there are breweries and wineries, and you're an hour and a half train ride from New York and about two from Boston. If you're into kayaking you're right next to Long Island Sound and the Quinnipiac river is good too. In New Haven the Yale museums are all good and their is a wharf full of food trucks. The pizza up here is also incredible. As you go east on the coast the state gets nicer and their are lots of cute little villages like Mystic, which is a tourist trap but nice nonetheless. North Haven itself (where the SOM and other health programs are located) is pretty sparse, but again, the state is so small nothing is far.

thanks for the insight! Did you send a letter of interest after your interview or just thank your interviewers? I’m wondering if I should do that but i feel like it looks sus since the possible acceptance date is so close.
 
My group wasn't told a specific day for decisions, but they did seem to suggest that they would have them around today - did anyone hear this? I interviewed 3 weeks ago, so probably too soon, but I'm still anxious!

Sorry if this has already been talked about, does Quinnipiac accept updates? if so where did you send it?

When you receive the “your secondary is submitted” email, there’s a mention that any information you’d like to add can be done in a pdf format through the additional information section of the secondary portal.

It also mentions that interview invites can be extended anytime between July and March so here’s to hoping? 🙂

Oh great, didn't even think to look at that email thanks for the info!

Definitely not where I wanted to end up, but I'm super happy here in terms of the opportunities and education I've gotten so far.

Hi! Thanks for your insight! Can you speak at all to the campus culture/vibe? Favorite and least favorite things about the campus, curriculum, faculty, opportunities, etc?

they told us that nobody can be informed BEFORE oct 15. but the first decisions would likely be sent out around oct 21.
 
has anybody gotten an acceptance yet since they said they would begin sending them ~Oct 21st?

was wondering the same thing..no news on my end but it's slowly approaching the end of october. Though, they were late sending out iis when they original said sept 4th so maybe they will be behind on this as well 😵

Yay finally got my SECONDARY today! I feel silly even posting that since most people have had their interviews already but I was starting to think I would never get it. It's the small things!
Click to expand...

Woo that’s awesome! And let’s be real it’s the small things that keep us going 🙂

Also does anyone know when the next round of IIs will be sent out? It feels like it’s been awhile since IIs were sent out :/

Has anyone heard anything about decisions? I really thought it would be this week 🙁

I interviewed end of September and I haven't heard anything 🙁. I thought they said decisions would be sent out a week or so after the 15th but alas.

Same. I wish they would tell us something, even just that they're behind on decisions. They told us so many different dates lol

I have no actual reason to believe this, but my gut is telling some As and iis will be coming out this week! I really hope I am a recipient of the latter.

I put faith in your gut as well. They’ll do it just to help with the post election anxiety 😛
But also really hoping for that II as well, though at this point I wouldn’t mind an R for closure purposes
