I think earlier in the thread someone said they're sending em out as late as nov 15. they may not be going in exact chronological order either so I wouldn't worry, you should get one as an IE resident!

hey everyone!! when entering coursework, what are you putting for semester hours? my school was on the quarter system so on my AMCAS primary, my semester hours are often decimals (ie. 2.70 semester hours for a 4 quarter class) but the box only allows for whole numbers

Can anyone confirm if UCR extended the limit from 500 characters to 250 words? :unsure:

I'm also wondering when these people were verified just so I know when to expect a secondary (if I get one). I wasn't verified super early so I doubt mine is coming soon, but still curious.

Verified 8/10. My MCAT is sub 500 so I was surprised to receive one. I actually go to UCR and have ties with Riverside county so I don't know if that makes a diff :/

anyone else here test out of the language requirement for their major? I want to indicate that I still have demonstrated proficiency in Spanish without taking college classes in it but it looks like comments cannot be entered for that field? I suppose I could indicate it in the "anything else" question but I was hoping to use that for something else. any ideas?
 
According to MSAR, everyone will get the secondary, so lets all try to remain calm lol

between not screening, the "technical difficulties," and making FAP applicants pay half of the secondary fee I think they're just broke lol :shrug:

Don’t feel down. On their website it still says that they aren’t releasing secondaries yet. Not sure why some have got them but I’m guessing the majority haven’t been sent out yet.

If it were me I would stay away from topics that impact everyone. Remember your essays are supposed to make YOU stand out. Don’t be just another person whose going to write about COVID because I’m sure lots of ppl are thinking about it just like you. You’ll get lost in the mix.

Me. I don’t think I’ll do it if I receive it at this point though I’m so burnt. I feel like this is part of their plan. Only people who really really want to go to UCR would find that energy to write a secondary when they’re going through interviews

Just to be sure, if we graduated from UCR, we were supposed to put “Special program” for our AMCAS application for the Haider program right?

I just added UCR today. Their website seems to say secondaries haven't been sent out yet. Is that still true? And how long do we have to wait on avg to get one you think? I'm CA but not norcal, not inland.

no they've sent a few out, I got mine over a week ago and submitted already .. earlier in the thread someone said they talked to admissions and "most of them would be sent out in sept, with some as late as nov 15"

Haider is the eap program, which deadline was like in April iirc.
 
I think you're right. I was confused because it was on the same page on the Haider website, but it looks like the eap stuff is completely separate from amcas
 
no, the haider program is early decision. they just also have you do amcas. its not for all alumni

The Thomas Haider Program at the UCR School of Medicine

What is the Thomas Haider Program? The Thomas Haider Program at the UCR School of Medicine provides a unique pathway into medical school for at least 24 qualifying UC Riverside undergraduate students. To qualify, the students must have attended UC Riverside for six consecutive quarters and have...

I called UCR SOM, and I was told on the phone that the Haider "special program" option was for the UCR alumni, but you have the option to choose whether you want to be considered for those Haider seats or to be considered for the seats of the Regular MD program itself, you can choose either.

The Haider program is how you compete for one of the 24 seats reserved for UCR students. The the Eap is one of the ways to apply for the Haider program. It allows you to apply sooner then other students. The application opens in December and closes April 1. If you don’t get accepted to the Haider program through the Eap then you can apply for it the general way through AMCAS and select the special program when adding UCR. You’ll still be competing for one of the reserved seats.
