+1+1!!! Verified 7/7

+1 Same boat - got a warning message about duplicate charge to cardis anyone else having trouble submitting their secondary? i paid by credit card and it still won't let me press submit and continue
Did you get through the submitting/then finalizing thing? (see top post in this thread)Anyone else not receive a secondary yet? OOS
couldn't get past the payment on my end, I sent them an email and left a messageDid you get through the submitting/then finalizing thing? (see top post in this thread)
It took a full week for it to "process" my LORs until I could finalize. Funny enough I had an email ready to send to the admissions team and I was like let me check it just one last time and it was complete.Is anyone having trouble finalizing and submitting their application? I assigned my LORs through AAMC and sent them over 3 days ago and it's still saying that they didn't receive it.
They have fixed the error 👍 Payment processedDid you get through the submitting/then finalizing thing? (see top post in this thread)
Write that your school does not provide committee letters or write N/AWhat is a Premedical Advisory Committee? My school does not use committee letters, does this question apply to me? We do have a pre-med advising office. PLEASE HELP! SO CONFUSED.🙂
I didn’t submit a secondary last time, but they still received my primary so I said I was a reapplicant on the secondary this time.I'm a re-applicant, but never received a secondary from Albany (or it was lost in my inbox) as I added them very late in the cycle. Because I never submitted a secondary here, I am not a re-applicant to this school, correct?
I said I was a re-applicant in the essay section as well, but what about this part?I didn’t submit a secondary last time, but they still received my primary so I said I was a reapplicant on the secondary this time.
your application was incomplete because you didn't submit a secondaryI said I was a re-applicant in the essay section as well, but what about this part?
If you have previously applied to the Albany Medical College, indicate the year(s) and the disposition of your application. (Check all boxes that apply)
Yeah it says it can take 24-48 hours for the status to change and allow you to finalize. That’s around how long it took for mine to update.Just submitted my secondary. My card was charged but it still says pending under the status and I am unable to finalize. Did anyone else have this issue?
check the portal. They took a long time to receive all my info, and then you have to click finalize. I don't believe I got a confirmation email after that but from what I understand the finalize button assures that your application is now in review.has anyone received a confirmation email after you have completed their app? because I have not even after a whole god damn week
Around two weeks after primary verification for mei added Albany a couple day ago and havent gotten a secondary yet- how long did it take for yall? OOS
I picked one specific characteristic of mine and described how I've embodied that through my experiencesHow did you guys approach the describe yourself question lol
Same, I talked about my personality and goalsHow did you guys approach the describe yourself question lol
Yea I just used my adversity essay and edited it a bitFor "challenge that prepared you for MD pathway", are you guys using your normal challenge essay and explaining how that will help you in medical school? None of my challenges are really related to medicine so I'm not sure how to approach it.
same lolYea I just used my adversity essay and edited it a bit
End of Spring term.Hey! In the secondary application, it says that "All course requirements must be completed by the Spring term prior to the anticipated date of matriculation." Does this mean that requirements have to be completed before the spring term starts or by the end of the term?
It's more general to medical school, if they wanted to know about them alone, they would've addressed it.I have applied to med school before (2020 cycle), but not to Albany. Am I required to answer the: "If you have previously applied to medical school but were unsuccessful, what do you think is (are) the primary reason(s) for not being accepted? What have you done to remedy this?"
It sounds like it's speaking more generally about medical school, and I don't want to be "caught in a lie" but technically I'm not a reapplicant for them.
although preMD_Activists is probably correct, you can always hit Albany up and ask them to clarify. I heard schools mean different things when they ask questions like that.I have applied to med school before (2020 cycle), but not to Albany.

I would just answer the question. I mean it can show how you have made improvements and be a plus if you have made significant improvements and strived to improve your app since last timeI have applied to med school before (2020 cycle), but not to Albany.

Yeah for me it would be hard to be specific to Albany for why I did not get into their school without making it sound like I was checking off a list for just their school (would sound like I know what they want specifically). I think it would just be more important that you show growth than just meeting expectations to just Albany.I would just answer the question.

Awesome, thank you so much!End of Spring term.
couple days. 4 iircOn average, how long did it take for you guys to be allowed to finalize? I submitted on 8/2 so I’m just wondering when I should expect it to be ready
Please explain any inconsistencies in your university, graduate, or professional school academic performance and/or MCAT scores. |
What am I supposed to say to this if I have a 3.9? My MCAT is 508 but it's balanced so I don't really want to draw any more negative attention to it than it already has. Can I just say N/A for this question?

+1 OOS, verified one week ago.Who else is still waiting on a secondary?
I did not receive an email, so likely the latter.does albany email when i am able to press finalize, or do I just have to check the portal every day?
