Dell Med does not use a written secondary application, but will screen applicants and offer those they are interested in an invitation to complete a video-response secondary.
Dell only sends secondaries to about 20% of applicants.

Good luck to everyone applying!

I got an email from Dell today saying that they received my application--had no idea it would happen so fast. They said they try to send secondary applications to 20% of the applicant pool, then interview 380 candidates. best of luck to y'all applying--just getting a secondary from Dell would be a dream lol

They sent you a secondary already? Or they sent you the "We received your application" e-mail?

thank you. you too. I was shocked. However, I've been a Physician Assistant for 14 years, so FWIW, I think this may have helped.

Has Dell been pretty silent so far for secondary invites?

Might be a silly question, but does anyone know if Dell requires an MCAT score be submitted prior to receiving a secondary?

Based on this application timeline page on their website, they will start sending out secondaries in July.

This is surprising since it looks like they sent out secondaries in June the last couple of years. But hey, I can stop being neurotic about not receiving an invite yet :rofl:
 
Waiting on Dell now. It's my top choice, so hoping I can at least get a secondary invite from them 😭

I have to admit: seeing the LM of the folks who’ve received a secondary from Dell, and their background, makes me lose hope for ever being accepted at Dell. One person has 14 YEARS of PA experience. Jeez. I know Dell likes nontrads, but these nontrads aren’t your normal nontrad. They have already worked in healthcare for many years. I’m an old nontrad career changer with zero science background at all.

Totally understand your sentiments. But what Dell is looking for is people with the potential to make a positive impact on our healthcare system and a track record of being changemakers. If you have experiences that show you have strong leadership, problem-solving skills, and creative thinking abilities, I'm sure you have a chance. Comparison is the thief of joy my friend.

It’s also super early in the cycle to lose hope. Keep the faith!
