Just relate whatever you learned about yourself to medicine. First paragraph can be about what you learned, second relate to medicine
 
Current M1 here! Just wanted to wish all of you guys good luck, and remember the app cycle is long! It isn't over until they tell you it is. I remember being frustrated not getting any II's in the beginning. My Wayne II was in January and they took me off the waitlist 2 weeks before classes started. Don't give up on your dreams, you all got this!
 
Anyone doing EDP receive any information after submitting secondaries?

Isn’t that number actually quite low considering applications have been transmitting to schools since end of July... last year the number of applications was way higher by end of August if I remember correctly ( could be wrong though).

If anything I feel like less people will apply this year due to late mcats, potential retakes that would cause them to apply super late in the cycle and missing prerequisite classes due to Covid.

Seems to be a bit fewer ppl this year. Based on last year's thread by July 30th 5389 ppl had submitted an application. Just assume that it's because of the verification delay. So it will likely be about the same this year.

They also sent first II aug 2nd. So, I think, just as amcas opened up 2 weeks later, they are just pushing things 2 weeks ahead. Based on that logic, the first II will be out this week.

During the stress of the pandemic, what was the one thing you learned about yourself? How has that affected your outlook on the role of medicine?

is this with spaces?
 
Do any of the other MD/MPH applicants who received last year's prompts know if we are being processed on the date we submitted the original responses or the submission date of the revised secondary? I noticed the email said it would not affect us, but I can't imagine a completion date in August rather than July would be neutral in terms of applicant numbers, etc.

I got an email about their different webinars and I signed up for this interview one that's going on right now. They said it'll be recorded but I don't know if it'll be available on their site or anything

The other ones thus far have recordings posted on the events page so hopefully they'll do that for this webinar as well
 
Dont worry they get posted a few hours later. Should hear back soon.

You’re the MVP of the day. Also does this mean that the post acceptance rate will be lower 0.0

My page is not evening allowing me to submit the response to the new prompt. Are you having this issue? I have emailed admin, they started they will extend my app deadline, but that does not fix the problem. Getting fraustrated.

So, I just rechecked (clicked) the certify/submit box. It was very underwhelming in regards to seeming like I had resubmitted my application. I did not receive any confirmation that I had resubmitted, and the only way I was able to verify that I had resubmitted was by clicking the application status page and seeing the new submission date in August..............

Have you tried using a different browser? I am using Google Chrome.

They responded. Apparently, there was a deadline attached to my application for re-submission the 2021 prompts (however, this was not stated in the email they sent). They were able to extended the deadline and I finally submitted it. Thanks for the help. Good luck on your app.

Fingers crossed for II's today per that poster's webinar notes! I can't believe their first interview is Sept 2 and they only are scheduling beginning this week.
Click to expand...

Since the interviews are through video, the time between II being sent out and the actual interview will likely be shorter.
 
So I should be getting a secondary like next week *sobs*

Does anyone know what the re-applicant prompt is? Already finished the main ones, but can't seem to find the re-applicant one anywhere in this thread. Character count would be appreciated too.

What academic, employment, volunteer experiences have you been engaged in since your last application to medical school? How does your current application differ from your previous application?

From how I see it, the first question is EC specific while the second may focus on things like coursework/MCAT, rewrites, shadowing, etc.
 
Are others using contractions for these prompts? They are so short idk how not to.

Yes, if I used them, then I made sure I was consistent throughout the entire secondary for that school.

Definitely see the first question being EC specific with employment/volunteer, but academic also make it feel like that portion is coursework/MCAT oriented too?
 
That last post is directed towards Daikon, but also:

Does anyone have any tips on how to write that re-applicant essays when like, not much happened for you this past year?

For me I did a lot more shadowing, and took more post-bacc classes, but that's kind of it. I mean I had a new clinical position lined up, but you know, pandemic and what not.
