oh wow they are either taking much longer or individually screen

 

[Hilove]

Hi everyone, can someone explain the letter of rec requirement? The MSAR doesn't have requirements but on the CDU website, they do. Does anyone know what the actual thing is? How many can we send?

 

[Shammah]

Is it weird that I have not received a secondary yet?

honestly noooo, theyre probably lagging it at screening

 

[Smileydimples]

wow this chat is dead... no II's yet?

 

[hopinthat-bihgoape]

Has anyone had luck getting a secondary with a pass/fail in any of these classes? I got a COVID-19 grade p/f for Physics 1, and I want to know how strict they are about p/f.

It seems like applicants verified in august haven’t been reviewed yet.

 

[onthelongroad123]

yea no secondary yet, primary sent august

 

[UncompetitiveInhibitor]

I saw that last year peeps were still receiving secondaries in November. Also saw that the first II was 12/9 😵 so it might be a while? Hoping its sooner this year 😢

I have no secondary yet, and my primary was verified 7/18. What are they looking for when they screen? 🦄

Idk at this point. I feel like I’m such a good mission fit but I’m sure there’s others like me

Same. URM, disadvantage, first generation. grew up 10 minutes away from the school. Want to do primary care and practice in the same area since I grew up here. But my gpa and mcat are horrible. Just shooting my shot I guess 🙁

First II in 12/9 is crazyyyy 😲

 

[MissDoctorBae]

It may just take a while for them to get the rest of the secondaries out. Remember that they are a new medical school and trying to dwindle numbers down to 60 matriculants is definitely tricky.

They started receiving primary app around November. It should be sooner this year.

Secondary for CDU received 8/14...

For those asking what they look for -- I have more than 10,000 hours of clinical experience working with the underserved.

and FYI -- After I submitted the secondary I got an email saying that they will start to send II in Feb 2024.

I hope this helps calm some hearts.

My email states that they send interviews through Feb 2024, so I believe they should start anytime from now until Feb

You're correct... totally read that wrong!

 

[Hilove]

[hijabimed]

It might indeed be clinical hours since I received secondaries before my latest MCAT came out. Havnt heard anything since the confirmation email

 

[Joedirty]

Honestly, according to the school website and class size it is really competitive to get into. So getting a secondary early is a good indicator you’re competitive. Just relax and be patient.

 

[Smileydimples]

Yes I did the same day or day after

How many hours? I had 630, hopefully that's enough

I had about 7000 but most of it was work though. I was a medical assistant

Damn, so do you have to have thousands of hours for cdu?

 

[Crownless King]

I am not sure, I doubt it is the case but you can ask others to see

 

[hijabimed]

I am not sure, I doubt it is the case but you can ask others to see

i did not have nowhere near thousands of hours and I got a secondary, so I don't believe its the hours but more particularly the experiences?

+1 I got roughly 200 and got a secondary.

 

[MissDoctorBae]

+1 I got roughly 200 and got a secondary.

+1 .. I have maybe 400 clinical hours, but 15 pretty good experiences on my primary.

[Shammah]

Congratulations to people who have received an II.
I’m just wondering why I haven’t received secondaries yet 😅

 

[premed-bruin]

Hi everyone, can someone explain the letter of rec requirement? The MSAR doesn't have requirements but on the CDU website, they do. Does anyone know what the actual thing is? How many can we send?

they accept 3-5 letters. to my understanding, there are no specific requirements to who they prefer to write them

 

[Tennis&soccer]
