For the question: Will your education be continuous between college and medical school matriculation?

Will that be a yes or no for me if I am currently doing a master's right after completing undergrad?

it will be a yes for you because after undergrad you did something additional before med sch, hope that helps 🙂
 
My gap year essay is a lot shorter than 500 words. I explained that I graduated with my BS, then I explained what my job during my gap year is going to be, why I pursued it, and how it will relate to medicine/help me as a future physician. This only took about 200 words though.

Is there anything else I should add to this, or is it fine to leave this at 200 words?

Really? I got a committee letter and still have that on mine….weird
 
Sooooo....anyone heard from stony lol?

I think they should start sending out IIs soon (based off last year's thread)
 
Is it okay if I email the admission office, letting them know I uploaded the additional document they requested, or is it gonna come off as annoying lol

Hey! I just wanted to get your guy’s opinion on something….has this week been quiet on the IIs or is it just me? I applied in the Northeast region and most the threads had like almost 0 IIs this week.

At least!! And it's only August. The thought of surviving all this until the waitlist all shakes out in the late spring/early summer is painful. At least we have the support of these boards to know we're not in this alone. Stay strong all!!
