Hello, I just did the same thing! What did you end up doing?
yeah... i did the same thing. i think i'm just going to leave it though because i don't really want to send them an email revealing that i didn't read their instructions carefully enough, just so i can tell them about a few of my classes that i took online.

idk.. i doubt they care that much about knowing which classes we took online. someone can correct me if i'm wrong.

Absent COVID, I think the schools did care if you took any of the pre-req courses online. But given that many classes were converted to online during COVID, I think this cycle (and the next few) will be a soft automatic "pass" for taking classes online. Net, net...they won't care.
 
Does anyone know if the Maine track is limited to just residents of Maine? I'm interested in rural health, but I'm OOS.

Is anybody getting any updates on their application status on the application portal status page? Mine doesn't indicate if my application has been reviewed so far.

Mine just says my application is ready. I don't think many schools provide step-by-step status updates like whether your app has been reviewed, it's more likely that it will only update if you've been invited for an interview, rejected, etc.
 
I also have a question about 7. I have an average mcat and gpa with no really significant academic hardships to talk about, is it really okay to say no or should I put something in anyways about covid making it harder to study and that kind of impacted my grades etc. I get that it sounds pretentious but I feel weird saying no to a question. what did everyone else do?

I took the question as a way to reflect on why my grades as a college student were sub-par and the personal and academic work I have done to improve my study habits and study strategies. I didn't use it as a way to talk about "hardship" that was imposed upon me, though in retrospect I probably could have said more about my underperforming rural high school.
 
Is it okay to use "Tufts" as the shorthand for the university's name throughout the essays or should we write out Tufts University School of Medicine (or is there some other acronym that I'm not seeing :O)

Just received an email asking for more information regarding my institutional action. Sadly no II, but I definitely had a mini heart attack.
I received this same email. Do you mind sharing when you were complete?
 
were we supposed to include additional information about our IAs in our secondary, or are they only reaching out for additional information once they review your application?

They’re asking for your school to send them extra information directly. I just checked and they didn’t ask for this in the secondary app itself, so probably after review.
