If it's the same as it was last year OOS should start hearing about IIs in December into January.

The prompts for the secondary are the same as last year as well.

Why did you decide to apply to Marshall? (5000 characters)

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Where do you want to serve or practice medicine? (5000 characters)

If you are not presently attending school, indicate your employment or other plans for the time prior to your planned enrollment in medical school.

Please share any disruptions in your academic, volunteer, work, and/or personal life related to COVID-19 that you would like the Admissions Committee to consider.

The last two prompts have a long character limit but I don't know them off of the top of my head.

I'm averaging about 2000 characters for each essay. I don't particularly want to bore them with a novel if it doesn't add anything to what I have to say.

Are the 3 professor LORs a hard requirement? I only have 2....
Edit: I'm a non-trad applicant and have tried to get in touch with admissions but nobody has responded. If anyone can offer input, I'd appreciate it very much.

I'm a first time reapplicant. I know that they contacted me closer to the deadline to discuss my letters. Ms. Cindy just asked for me to put forth my best effort in gathering the three professor LORs. I ended up only submitting two along with the MD that I'm scribing for. Being a non-trad I'm sure they'd be understanding.

Thank you and thank you @BrontoPronto as well! I was actually able to connect with an old professor and now have three letters 😊

Pre req assignment? Sorry lol I am still working on the secondary I dont know where/what that is.

There are two tasks when you enter their secondary portal, one is to assign pre-reqs and the other is the actual secondary- both are due by the December deadline

Anyone get an interview invite yet?

 

[asuto]

Anyone get an interview invite yet?

No, not yet. However, I think they don't start sending IIs until September for WV residents and then mid-december for OOS.

Thanks for the info! Preciate it

Any insights into why marshall? I know this is personal and I have looked and researched their website. Much of my interest lies in their community outreach and international electives but didn't know if I was missing anything else I could touch on.
