This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
So if I was verified at the end of June, and I didn't receive a secondary in their first batch, does that mean I'm screened out?

Does anyone know if completing the CASPER + DUET is required to receive a secondary? I've completed CASPER, but not DUET, since the other schools I applied to did not need it.

No, I received a secondary (OOS) and haven't done either yet

What is "In which of these areas do you see the most opportunity for personal growth and why?" asking? Does it ask which area I have the most room for improvement and growth or which area a person in general can have the most personal growth?

I definitely went about it by talking about which areas I could see the most growth in myself.

5) If interested in the aerospace program: Describe your career path up to this point and how that has led to your interest in human spaceflight. What is your motivation for seeking a dual degree in Aerospace Engineering and how does this fit into your vision for your career.
 
I'm OOS but I have strong family ties in Denver-- is there even a fluid way to incorporate this into my secondaries or should I just not bother?
 
How is this school with OOS? what stats are needed?
 
IS secondary received 20 min ago!
 
Are y'all approaching #2 (Please describe how your background and/or your unique lived experiences contribute to our culture of inclusive excellence) as a diversity essay, a service essay, or a mixture? I'm thinking it's supposed to be both but want to see if anyone interprets it as *just* one.

(OOS secondary rcvd today but not sure if that's because I think my CASPER scores also released today or if it's a coincidence)

Don't know if im overthinking but how do you guys interpret which 'areas do you see the most opportunity for personal growth?'
I thought it could either be like: what is a weakness (so u see an opportunity for growth) or which pillar do you embody and has led you to the most personal growth (so you see an opportunity for growth)

First one. You talk first about the pillar you have demonstrated strongly, then about one you see opportunity to improve
 
Does anyone have info on the different campuses (esp Co Springs) that we can also apply to? Or where I can get a bit more detail on how they are for rotations than just on their website?
 
These are the two questions that pop up if you indicate an interest in the Colorado Spring Branch:

1. Please submit a short statement regarding your interest in the Colorado Springs Branch. You may address characteristics of the Branch that would be a fit for your strengths, experiences, and/or career plans. You may also note your ties to or interest in Colorado Springs or other similar communities. Limit the essay to 1500 characters, including spaces (approximately 300 words).

2. In the Colorado Springs Branch LIC, students work in multiple health systems across Southern Colorado (e.g. Colorado Springs, Cañon City, Pueblo) to understand the interface between academic and community medicine and participate in a curriculum focused on how physician leadership in quality improvement and community engagement can impact health equity. Please describe how participation in the Colorado Springs Branch LIC would advance your career goals, and how your life experiences have led you to an interest in our program. You may also note any ties to Colorado Springs or the Southern Colorado community, if applicable. Please limit your statement to 300 words.

Is it just me or do these questions ask for exactly the same thing? How are you guys approaching this?
 
Hey everyone - rising MS2 checking in here. Happy to answer any questions about the school (less experienced with the branches) and parts of the application process that I can address.
