2. Briefly describe your health-related experiences. Be sure to include important experiences that are in your AMCAS application, as well as any recent experiences.

How are you guys answering this question? A list? Or paragraphs?

It says describe, so brief paragraph form is what I'm doing

Another question on this... for "health" related experiences, is this to be interpreted as more clinical work, or are others including research?

I don't think research counts

I’m including my clinical research experience but omitting my straight-neuroscience bench work. Without any clearer definition I think research can still count as “health-related” as long as it still directly impacts patients.
 
Would it look bad to not answer the last question about any new updates/information? I started a new job that I can write a little bit about but I feel like it's going to be repetitive given the gap year question and I already included it briefly in my primary.

If you don’t have meaningful updates, probably better to write a quick sentence that you’ve begun your new job or write that you have nothing to add than to include paragraphs of fluff.
 
I've heard a lot of schools are having issues with the portal this year so I definitely wouldn't worry about not having a secondary. They're probably sending them out in batches to avoid crashing the system 🙂

Also Emory specifically doesn't pre-screen other than MCAT score (according to their website). I'm still waiting too but it'll def be out soon

I got an email secondary, then it disappeared? I found the portal, tried to login and it said I don’t have an account associated with my email
 
I meet the minimum MCAT requirements but still haven’t received a secondary. Verified 7/5.

This is the only one I haven’t gotten yet 😅

Has anyone received an Emory MSTP secondary app yet? I’m confused because I was verified well before the first day to submit primaries but haven’t gotten anything back. None of my stats are low enough to be screened out by any school that I know of. My personal statements were really strong. Any thoughts?
