Received the secondary! Is it normal for the LORs to not be uploaded yet?

Yea I think they start filling those in when you submit the secondary

 

[paul30]

Do they receive MCAT scores straight from AACOMAS?

Yes

 

[paul30]

Yes

So if it says MCAT pending is that a mistake lol

No cus like I said they only start processing those things when you submit the secondary

 

[FutureDoc2112]

is it even worth applying here with low MCAT and GPA?

Depends how low, but never hurts to shoot your shot!

 

[hello-doc]

Looks like my C.V. is going to be close to 10 pages - would this be a problem? Do we have to include job/activity description? Thank you.

Are you hella non traditional? Bc that seems like a lot

I am closer to 30, so I guess yes. But it really depends on how much detail to include. If I just list the activities with no discription, it would probably be 3 pages I reckon. Can current students please comment on how much detail we should include in the C.V.?

I have a lot of friends at CCOM (I live in IL) so I’ll text them and update!

I am also similar in age, and my CV was 3 pages. I think I put a sentence or so for my description because the primary includes more details about my activities.

If you've got about 25,000 hours in research and volunteering you might have a chance with those low stats. Otherwise, I'd look towards another profession!

 

[drdudedo]

oh man these comments made my day

 

[futuredoctorkumquat]

Last year first II was reported 8/18, year prior 8/25

[worm compost]

What's the preferred acronym to use in secondary essays? CCOM? MWU?

 

[drthedude]

CCOM

 

[FutureDoc2112]

Anyone keeps on getting emails inviting to apply? Does it mean anything lol

 

[YeeOldeMillenial]

I got one too! Did you start at DO app but not finish it yet? That's where I am. Otherwise, I think they can email people based on MCAT scores since we agree to release our information when registering for the test. Or they are just looking for that $weet $econdary ca$h.

Mine was before submitting the application and after (didn’t apply there). I think I got about like 5 emails from them . I was hoping it meant something

 

[drthedude]
