Nope I haven’t gotten any emails either.
What's it like living in Dayton? Is having a car advisable?
I am living in Cincinnati currently because we only have to report to campus on Fridays for in-person activities. I look to settle in Dayton when we start to have more in-person classes. According to many I talked to, having a car is necessary. Most people live a little far from school though.
About 40% of the class is OOS but most of them had some prior connections to Ohio. Not to say, there are tons of people who had no connections to Ohio but still enrolled as 1st years.
I chose this school over 4 others, mostly because of my interview experience. This medical school is picky in the types of students it selects. I really like it because of the noncompetitive atmosphere. Everyone supports each other in everything. When you come to class, you don't listen to lectures. You have to read before class, and come to class to answer multiple choice questions. Besides, usually the class is only 3 hrs each day, so you get to decide how you want to spend the rest of the day.
The detailed info is on their website. But they like students who have underwent challenges before in their life and who use that to show empathy to others. They also like activities on your AMCAS app where it shows that you have impacted other ppl's lives, such as tutoring and helping people succeed through initiating study sessions, etc..
Same here. Thought it was a bit odd, but glad to know others are experiencing the same thing lol. Maybe it kind of acts as a screen?
Sit back and wait some more.....
+1 Same, secondary received OOS
I personally only assigned non-clinical volunteering with underserved populations. None of my other activities fit the description they gave
i think that should be fine! interacting with people from different backgrounds should inform you about cultural competence in my opinion
Ok cool. That sounds good! Was just wondering if people were going to put down volunteering. Or if people think that the only things that count are on campus official cultural groups or other similar things. Glad to hear someone else approached it similarly! 🙂
No! Have not gotten essays yet! Did you submit the competency thing before you got the essay part?? Or were the essays the first thing that showed up in your inbox?
Just received an email indicating I qualify for a secondary also, but no actual secondary link/email. Will we have to wait 24 hours for it?
i got the email, but im unable to see the actual essays on the portal? we just click on the competencies link right? do u guys see the essays on the portal
I don’t see the essays on the portal, this doesn’t make sense
This school's secondary is getting weirdly complicated. I just got an email that makes it seem like we are going to get 3 additional emails with seperate links to different parts of the secondary. 1. Prereqs, 2. documents, and 3. essays?
Can you post the prompts?
I also got a "congrats you qualified for a secondary app" after submitting the competencies. Went back to the link for the competency portal like they said to, and I don't see anything else besides a "you completed the competencies activity" screen. Maybe the essays come in an additional email? The instructions/wording in the "congrats you qualify for a secondary" email is very confusing.
