[Saintman41]

How extensive is the screening for this school? For example, I know that only 25% of applicants that apply to WCUCOM even receive secondaries. Curious to know if this school is similar.

Really, 25% for William Carey? Suppose they get 3k applications, that leaves 750 for secondaries. Don't schools send like 750 invites.

I don't know the exact breakdown, but that seems to be what former students are saying.

[drthedude]

Wow maybe a med school will love me

 

[Dorsey DO]

Just making sure, but does 1-page means single or double-spaced?

 

[helpmeouthere]

Just making sure, but does 1-page means single or double-spaced?

I did single

 

[LAF_Noir]

Just making sure, but does 1-page means single or double-spaced?

I typed mine double-spaced and 12 pt font.

Due to the spacing, I wasn’t able to discuss everything I would like to but single-spaced looked too dense for a one-page essay.

 

[dullprocedure]

[soosh97]

Received email with account credentials

 

[LAF_Noir]

For those who have received their account credentials, did you find a way to select your letters of recommendation? It’s under the “My Tasks” tab.

Or is that processing something they do themselves?

 

[drthedude]

same question, no instructions so I'm assuming they'll pull from primary?

 

[LAF_Noir]

That’s what I was thinking too. I spent some time on the portal and couldn’t find an option to input my letter writers’ names.

just found this off the email with my credentials.

If you are a new applicant – we are glad you are eager to complete your file, and we will work on them as quickly as possible and access the letters of recommendation submitted with your primary application. We will email you if your application is incomplete or we need clarification on any piece of your application.
