For those of you who received II, were your casper scores already received when you were marked complete?
 
Any thoughts on why UVM LCOM would follow me on Instagram? (kinda strange). I submitted my secondary the first day I got it (July 1st) and I'm not one of the lucky few who have received an II today. Is it just a social media screen? It just seems like they only follow their students/alums/other academic organizations, so I'm not sure why they'd follow me. Do adcoms run social media accounts? I'm probably overthinking this whole thing.
Any update on this/have you received an II from them? They requested to follow me as well and I'm not sure what to do haha

It's the Office of Medical Communications that runs their social accounts, not admissions 🙂 Can't speak to why they'd follow you necessarily but maybe you interacted with a post or something and they liked your vibe haha
 
Can someone shed some advice on how they tackled the first prompt on the secondary? Do you think it's fine to talk about a general experience working with those different from you or is a specific example better? Having a hard time coming up with specific situations.

i wrote about working with parolees and what i learned about myself through this experience. i chose something specific because my experiences aloud for it— maybe working with homeless populations, people with mental illness, cognitive deficits, or even if you volunteered w/ hospice and learned something from seeing patients with terminal illnesses? just some ideas
 
Is it fine if you submit two science professor letters and one physician?

You’ll have to email admissions. They want you to send in your primary first so they can review your app to see if you qualify for a waiver (if you’re non-trad I believe this makes that a lot more likely.) They genuinely won’t tell you whether or not you qualify until sending in the primary though, even if you email first.

(Saying this based on my experience this cycle — they were very responsive though and did grant me the waiver.)
