OOS II complete 8/3 LM 75.5 no ties
oos II yesterday!! (first one man feels good) completed 8/29 LM 68 no ties
has anyone else had a delay between submitting and getting the complete email?
Mind sharing stats and EC strength? I’m around here and interested here.
17 day turnaround between submission and completion for me
Yep, 4 day delay for me
tbh not really sure about EC strength but my narrative and activities are driven around community health and underserved populations

Thanks! I meant primary submission date!
Primary app submitted 1st day but I didn’t add this school to my list until 7/31
anyone know when theyre going to send interview details? They sort of mentioned on the phone but it felt vague lol
Is it a good sign to have gotten a secondary from here? I haven’t been marked complete yet so I know I’m super late and worried.
Same here. I did read on sdn that apparently EVMS is one of the few schools that screened for secondaries but idk how true that is?
They do screen! I didn’t get one and in the email they sent me it said the committee reviewed my application and decided not to send me a secondary so if you got one def fill it out!

Do we get a confirmation email that we submitted the secondary after submitting?
Oh I did not know that do you know why they do so? Is it based on grades or like regional fit as well? I am in the Northeast so idk if that played a role with GPA/MCAT in their OOS medians. I just hope the screening doesn’t take too long until like October.
I’m sure they mention on their website! Every school is looking for a particular kind of student and to build a particular kind of class so who knows!
DM'ed
"to fulfill our secondary requirement you must submit three individual letters: two of which must be from a natural and/or physical sciences faculty, this includes neuroscience and research faculty. The other letter can be from non-science faculty (courses in mathematics will be considered a non-science letter)."
Does the non-science faculty refer to a professor who taught you a class? Or can it be a physician or psychologist.

Did you get an II over the phone?
email II. Schedule via phone number they provide.
I interpreted it as specifically teacher since it says "faculty" and just sent a LOR from my English prof. I used my physician LOR as an additional one. You can contact them though to double check.

IS pre-II R. Completed 8/2
OOS II! Complete 8/8
Anyone have any feedback on the interview? It would be very much appreciated.
First SDN post! Just had my interview today. The virtual session beforehand was very helpful in getting a feel for the academic curriculum (really fun immersive/virtual SIM Center experience), community engagement learning projects (everyone put a huge emphasis on this), and being able to connect with current students.
My interview:
My interview:
- Lasted the full 45 minutes, very conversational
- Standard 5 questions (all of which were some variation from the ones listed on the Interview Feedback Page - i.e. ethical issues, healthcare issues, what I do in my free time, why medicine vs. engineering etc.). If you haven't looked at those yet, hiiiiighly suggest!
- My interviewers seemed to enjoy my personal experiences and even asked follow-up questions about them (Would suggest having some quick stories/concrete examples to share to supplement your answer)
- Overall, everyone was very friendly, welcoming, and seemed genuinely excited to meet us, interviewees. If you haven't already checked, MCAThiccy made a more detailed post in last year's page. (Page 6)

I’m not sure but maybe that is the complete email? I never got a “supplemental application received” email only got one with the subject line “Application complete” like 2 weeks after getting in the secondary and paying the fee.

Did y'all who interviewed already send thank you notes, and if so, how did you send them?
I don't remember the specifics, but something was mentioned about thank you notes after interviews during last Wednesday's conference. I believe they prefer virtual thank you notes, but I would have someone else confirm before sending anything out.
I sent one email with individual attachments for my thank you notes. They were specific on how to format the attachments.
Email: [email protected]
Attachments: Only PDF/Word Docs titled "Last name, First Name AMCAS ID"
Ex. Doe, John 123456.pdf
If you have multiple attachments, maybe add a number or something to differentiate each one,
Ex. Doe, John 123456 - 1.pdf
Hope that helps!

Hey so for the organic chemistry lab requirement. Did everyone have 2 semesters of orgo lab or 1 sem orgo lab + 1 sem biochem lab? I meet the 2 credits requirements but I only took one orgo lab as that's all my university offered. Any insight from anyone?
I took two orgo semesters with lab and one biochem
It may take like a week or two to get them because they screen for secondaries apparently. They should though because you added them before primary app deadline.
hmmm I randomly decided to apply to this school after I saw a tiktok of someone getting accepted and did some research and ended up liking the school. Added it to amcas and got secondary request late September, is it worth applying? I decided not to after becase im from west coast and mainly applying there but seeing some post saying if you got a secondary to apply. just prettyyyyy late
Just do it id say no harm in trying. People who apply Oct can still get accepted.
