Thanks for your input! I looked through their website and it looks like they're hosting an info-session in early June so I'll register for that and see if they can give me any advice, too.
I’ve ran into the same problem with other schools. I wouldn’t worry about it, they probably just haven’t uploaded the scores yet. Best of luck! Maybe we’ll be classmates next year!
Thank you! I'll give it another few weeks! Good luck to you, too!
I'm unsure about Snapshot and Duet, but CASPer isn't weighted that heavily at UNR SOM, from what I've heard.
Quick question for you: did you do the residency form already? How did you submit it?
Yes, I used CamScanner on my phone and submitted it to the mynevada email address on the cover page of the residency form packet. They were quick to get back to me and say it is being processed.
Sweet. I wasn’t sure if that was a good email because that goes to the University, right? I’ll send it to that one and hope for the best.
Yeah, through that email address they process the residency forms for all students at the school. I am assuming once it is reviewed they inform the med school. They are backed up right now so Ill let you know once mine is processed and what happens!
Thanks! I’m going to submit mine this weekend sometime most likely.
Have they marked your Duet score as received yet?
Hi! Congrats on the secondary! I was wondering when your primary was verified and if you are applying early decision?
Not yet! Just Casper! Im sure they have it if they got the Casper though.
I can chime in on this one. My primary was verified 5/27, I received a secondary invite on 6/29. I'm in state and applied early decision.
Frightened goat! 🤣🤣🤣 That is what im worried about with the all virtual asynchronous interviews! I was so bummed when I found out about that! I was at their secondary and interview info session and they said they really weren't using the altus suite to make decisions yet, more as a tool to see how the admitted students end up scoring on it to determine if they want to incorporate it in future years, that's the impression I got after hearing them speak about it. There is a recording of the info session on YouTube if you want to hear more:
Verified 5/27 and applying regular decision.
Duet was marked as received today. It still says my application is incomplete though? Don't know what that's about.
Would appreciate any guidance from fellow OOSers (or anyone)Im OOS as well and my plan was to do some research of issues in the area and see which ones tie to UNR's mission statement and go from there! Totally understand being stressed about being too confident in issues that we can't relate to as OOS applicants, but in my opinion, I think that research makes you seem interested in attending UNR which is a good thing!So I'm approved OOS and the last essay I've got left is the "vision of healthy NV" essay..... I am unsure of what to write about
Edit: I have ideas jotted down but don't want to write anything that might make me come off as being all knowy-knowy of NV's struggles while being OOS
Grateful for your input- I think I've just been too self-conscious and polite lol, but I think I will use your angle to craft my statementIm OOS as well and my plan was to do some research of issues in the area and see which ones tie to UNR's mission statement and go from there! Totally understand being stressed about being too confident in issues that we can't relate to as OOS applicants, but in my opinion, I think that research makes you seem interested in attending UNR which is a good thing!
Be confident! Think of why you want to be a physician and what kind of population you want to serve and then look and see how it applies to NV, we have a lot of the same healthcare access issues present in many places around the country, so chances are your motivation for wanting to be a physician will apply to Nevadans as well! They have some great research that they do at UNR about expanding access to care and talk a lot about the populations they serve on the website. Weave in your motivation for pursuing medical school with one of those areas and you will be good!So I'm approved OOS and the last essay I've got left is the "vision of healthy NV" essay.....

Honestly I appreciate the guidance. I wonder if I went to school with any of y'all when I lived there
The lack of all green checkmarks was making me think I missed something. I reached out and the admissions office said it is a glitch in the system that they are working on. Our applications are complete if all sections are marked as received except for the application complete one.
Reached out and got the same feedback as well.
Thank you for doing this! I guess I'll start! Does UNRMed review the primary app before deciding to send out a secondary? Is there a different timeline for OOS students such as myself as to when secondaries/II's are sent?
Thanks so much for doing this! My question is if I am Nevada connected by virtue of having graduated from a Nevada High School, but not currently a resident of Nevada, will I be considered as an in-state applicant or an out-of-state applicant? If I'm considered OOS, are there additional forms or essays that I need to prepare?
Not the rep, but I'm also OOS (moved right before high school), and I submitted a residency exemption form. UNR's website has details on what category of residency you would fall into! Since you went to HS there, maybe you might even be a higher priority OOS applicant.
That's super helpful, thank you! Best of luck to you this cycle.
Thanks for the help @BrontoPronto! I'll add a little to this too.
The residency exemption form was exactly that- a short essay (no given limit) about any ties to NV. It's like a google form- admissions will email you about approval.
That's super helpful, thank you so much!
I was transmitted 7/22 and I haven't heard a peep :[ granted, I'm OOS (with ties though!)
I got it two weeks after my app transmitted. Just be patient.
Got verified a few days after you, living vicariously through you until I hear something! Good luck!!OOS secondary received!!!! So excited!!!
Hang in there
