Do you mind posting the prompts?

 

[phewitsnottaken]

I decided to not submit my secondary. Too much uncertainty around accreditation.

 

[drewmighty]

I ended up submitting. I will see how it goes.

 

[drewmighty]

hmm I just realized I submitted the secondary 1 day after the deadline so guess I will not be having to worry about this school XD

How were you able to submit passed the deadline? My email went to spam folder and when I realized it, it was passed the 21 day deadline….called + voicemail and emailed them but no response yet. Hoping they will let me submit still

 

[drewmighty]

I have no idea. Maybe I am bad with math? I got it july 7th and submitted the 30th. It said due by the 30th but that was past the 21 days. So I am confused.

I got one

 

[DOctorCAL1]

I emailed adcoms a while back and never got a response. wanted to ask about the LOR requirement. Says I need one from "other" including non science, research etc.
I'm wondering if an extra science one can count for that requirement? Does anyone know

Category 2: Other (e.g., Research Advisor, Non-Science Professor, Community Leaders, Employer Superior) (Required)

My guess is they want a non-science letter

i sadly don't have non science. i have 3 science and 1 physician. So that's why I had emailed and never got a response

ya I have noticed they arn't the best at responding. Again this is a school I am tentative about due to their current standing, as well as being a for profit med school. I am hopeful though that if they did lose accreditation, the AMCAS would step in and possible help students find other med schools (this happened in the past when a school lost accreditation )

You should definitively become familiar with the school before interviewing:

Hi all. For those who had the chance to interview today, was there an informational session after the check in and before your interviews? I only checked in for 5 minutes and didn't realize how the timings would be for the MMI, nor was I told by my first interviewer.

 

[zipper33]

Did anyone who submitted a secondary never receive a complete email?
