I prewrote and ended up with about 470 words per answer (out of the 500 max)
2021-2022 Hackensack Meridian
Started by wysdoc
Hackensack Meridian sends a secondary to all verified applicants.
Is the site manager a health professional or are they mostly performing administrative duties? Regarding your second question, you can add letters to AMCAS at any time and transmit them to schools.

How long does it take you to write up and submit? Considering you work and volunteer…what’s an “acceptable” turn in time?

I'm an M2, can answer questions that you have.
Ask them, they will probably let it slide.

How did you guys approach the 3rd question?
Is it "easy" to find research opportunities? I am interested in cardiology and electrophysiology and would like to continue this in med school if possible!
Thank you!

It's specialty-dependent. Should be quite easy in a specialty like cardiology. I know of a couple of attendings working in electrophysiology so I don't see that being an issue for you should you attend.
do you know about any research opps in neuroscience/neurology? and do you know how they feel about external fellowships in research especially during phase 3 of the curriculum?

Where do medical students typically live in/around campus?
Another specialty where there are many opportunities. Not sure about the external fellowships in phase 3 but I would be surprised if they didn't allow it.
Nutley, Bloomfield, Clifton would be the most common. Note that you may have to move when you go into clinical because half of the class is assigned to the south-central region which the clinical sites are more in the Monmouth/ ocean county area

Do we need to click "I'm done uploading documents" after uploading our photo? I don't wanna get locked out of sending updates...

Yes, unless you have something else to add in files
With Hackensack's commitment to serve underrepresented communities, I am wondering if there is a free-student run clinic?
There is not one to my knowledge

I would also like to know how everyone else is approaching this. It just seems so broad I don't even know where to start
Just submitted the secondary. Just to be clear, did anyone else not receive any type of confirmation? Not even for the payment.
Copy pasting diversity essay lol
for third question, is it okay to talk about covid (Regarding mcat, online classes, etc)?
One of the examples they gave was overcoming adversity - if that’s what the essay’s theme or even if it reflects anything about you as a person, go for it! The third essay is just a diversity prompt - but they made it more broad so you could essentially put whatever

Same here. No confirmation for the submission nor the payment.

From my understanding, I saw this question as your steps in obtaining medical experiences
Just submitted secondary!

Yeah, that is what I am getting too. For this question, I am taking the approach of kinda condensing my resume/PS into 500 words. Painting the picture of why I got into medicine and what experiences have furthered that interest and prepared me for the field. Keeping it more straightforward.

For students at HMSOM, do you enjoy the HD curriculum? How has that experience been for you? On their website they mention they structure each week's curriculum around a patient case. How exactly does this work and do you like it? Lastly, how is Hackensack in general? What's the feel of the town?
Thank You!
Thank You!

gotcha mine is:

Secondary received 08/04
Secondary sent 08/10
“Preliminary Review” email received 08/10
haven't received the other
Can any current students give more insight to the Phase 2 and 3 curriculum?
+1, It seems like they're looking at the individual components of the app at different times? Not sure though
