Members don't see this ad.

did anyone receive an email that the application was complete after submitting their secondary? I completed each section, but there was no real "submit" box and I'm wondering if it's just automatically sent when each section is complete? When I scroll to the bottom it says "thank you for your interest" and "finished." I never got an email though and kinda nervous since my deadline is approaching.

Congrats! When did you submit your secondary?

Mid July, I don't remember the date

Are you OOS? What are your stats please?

So is a 500-505 mcat a red flag for CDU or are they more holistic and look at ECs and stuff?

I mean both people who have said they got interviews on here were at or below that range

 

[hijabimed]

Does anyone know what the interview format at CDU is and any tips?

Also wondering this!

 

[Questvine94]

There are two separate interviews, both closed-file and 20 min each with faculty. It’s wasn’t very stressful and I had a good time!

Is there more than just the interviews like normal interview days such as curriculum overview, tuition, etc? It seems like it just may be the 2 interviews.

No, it’s just the two interviews and that’s it.

Do you guys think its too late to apply to Charles now? Or is it not that late adding it to my schools list?

Ahh thank you! I'm IS; my MCAT is definitely in the lower range, but my GPA and extracurriculars are pretty solid.
