I'm also contemplating sending in the secondary for this very reason. I have a low-ish sGPA of 3.2. And fortunately I'm already blessed to have received multiple II's from elsewhere. Idk if I should submit or save the money if they're just gonna toss my app cause of their cut-off
There is no word or character limit.
The median sGPA listed on their msar is 3.4, with 10th percentile score of 2.7. It looks like yall will be fine
According to MSAR, seems like the 10th percentile MCAT they accept is 496, the 10th percentile cGPA is 3.04, and the 10th percentile sGPA is 2.73. I doubt the screen exists. I could be wrong, but I think their website mentions numbers that they consider to be "competitive" but they genuinely don't seem to have a strict cutoff.
Ok bet thank you lol this put me at ease a bit
I actually just retried and it is working now.
Also wondered about this. I emailed them saying I have FAP, but they replied with "Thank you for your ongoing interest in Meharry Medical College and for contacting the Office of Admissions & Recruitment. At this time, Meharry Medical College does not accept or issue fee waivers toward the supplemental application."
I saw $65 on the checkout page.
Oh wow. Howard didn't take it either. It's really messed up that the only schools I've encountered that don't take FAP have been HBCUs.... smh
same! Mine takes me to another school’s application :/
Yes same
I also submitted my secondary but got another secondary email today -_- i went to submit again but I woud have to pay again, so I didnt. I got a confirmation email for my secondary submission so Im just gonna ignore the new secondary invite.
Same, then a few hours later I got a confirmation for my secondary even tho I got a second invite
yeah how do we get a waiver code ??
Not entirely sure. Based on last years sdn thread, FAP students disregarded the waiver code and clicked submit. The system automatically waived their fee. I’ll likely call/email the office tmrw for more information!
This isn't true. Complete the secondary.
Lol you're great. Meharry, unlike Howard, does accept the waiver
Emailed them and they said they don’t accept waivers this year
Ughhhhh
They emailed me the same thing and I asked for clarification since it says on their website they accept fee waivers with documentation of the FAP. I screenshot that info and sent it to them politely haha. Hopefully they will honor the website
Wait…so they take forever to send the secondaries AND they aren’t accepting fee waivers? Man what is up with the HBCUs right now!
+1; I can match this. If you’re considering not applying because theres no fee waiver please PM me. I can help two Black applicants as well.
No you are not
I have the same along with a dental school application. Their system is obviously glitchy or riddled with lack of attention to detail.
Yes, but it took a while! They seem to be sending them out in batches. I was in the first wave of applicants and I only just received a secondary as of Thursday. Don't give up hope! Sending you good luck. 🌞you guys are getting secondaries?! 😢
They accepted my FAP and I submitted my application the first week of July .. I guess they just don't want to take anymore at this point .

I got those 2 emails also after I submitted also.
Yes, but how they screen and what they screen for is questionable. I also wonder what the difference is between screening for a secondary and receiving an interview invite because their secondary seemed short compared to others.
