You do not have to use the full 2000 characters, but it would be a good idea to use more than half as long as what you are writing is not fluff.

2. What do you think you will like best about being a physician?

3. What do you think you will like least about being a physician?

^^^ Can I talk about multiple things I would like/dislike or only one thing?

Try to stick with one if you can to better develop it. I think a couple related things or a general concept with a few, more specific things would be fine too.

Alright makes sense, what are your thoughts on the 2000 char limit though? I was shooting for 1000 chars instead

IS and still haven’t received one.. I was verified on 6/10 not sure if they’re sending it in waves

Thanks for advice! Can I apply this to all secondary essays (not having to fulfill complete character count but maybe more than half)

Yes, but for those that are 1000 characters max or less, most applicants will likely use up nearly all the characters available to them.

If I havent received a secondary at this point, does it mean I got screened down?

I am just hoping EVMS is taking their time to go over our primaries right now. If they are manually filtering our apps, then the current silence would make sense. When I applied last time, I received secondary from EVMS with less volunteer hours, so hopefully I am not filtered out this cycle!

 

[CherryBlossom15]

Anyone having trouble submitting the secondary? I’ve filled out all the essays; it keeps giving me an error message saying to contact support

 

[confusedonceagain]

Happened to me, presumably because it timed out, so I saved everything on a word doc, relogged in (refresh wasn't enough) and did it again with success

Click on the second link they sent out with the corrected platform. I did the same thing. Whoops.

You are saying that you submitted secondary and have not heard back?

 

[deleted1140676]

I still not have received a secondary. I'm OOS and already sent an email but just curious if anyone else is in the same boat

same here. paid AMCAS a few weeks ago... OOS too. Did you send a follow-up email to EVMS?

 

[deleted1140676]

same here. paid AMCAS around two weeks ago... OOS too. Did you send a follow up email to EVMS?

I submitted AMCAS on the first day so I'm not sure what's taking so long unless I got screened out. I did not send a follow-up but will prob do it either today or tomorrow.

I submitted a secondary and it said I would receive a complete email once all of my materials are in, which they are based on the rest of my schools, but I still haven’t received a complete email here.

Did you follow up yet? I was thinking about emailing them

 

[Julatteluver]

I can't imagine EVMS screening this many OOS apps unless their criteria got more strict this cycle....right? I rmbr ppl with low-ish volunteer hours get screend out, but even that wasn't prevalent.

I don't mind if they are at least putting real effort in screening... save my time and money for another school

I got mine the day after submitting

true, but I thought my app matched what EVMS looks for (heavy service), so it kinda stings ngl

Just got sent an email saying that my application is complete. Submitted 7/29

 

[deleted1120105]

Did you get a reply?

I'm in the same boat, I submitted 7/22. I might wait till next week or something before reaching out.

 

[deleted1140676]

Nope, gonna send a follow up right now

Literally 5 minutes after sending the follow up I received the secondary lol. I hope the email reminded them to send it and that I am not annoying them

imagine they just forgot to send a bunch of secondaries to applicants

It worked! Don't worry about how it may have come across. I am guessing the people who transact the emails are not the same people reviewing your app.

What did you send them in your initial email? I was verified like a month ago. I have completed almost all of my secondaries but I still haven't received EVMS one so I'm very very confused. I didn't get any emails from them at all (none in the spam folder either)
