I am applying to EnMed which is why I applied thru AMCAS but there is no option to send my letters in. Like the place u select what letters go to what school doesn’t exist for A&M. Anyone apply thru AMCAS and get their letters sent?
No I'm not a reapplicant
Running into the same issue, might give them a call tomorrow and ask about it
Thanks, @15lbBeardofBees
I’m in the exact same position. Last year I received a secondary right after submitting TMDSAS. However this year i’m still waiting even though I submitted my primary with a higher MCAT scores
I did not receive an email. Can you let us know what it said?
I went through the same thing but someone said above that it was a pretty lengthy process comparatively but they did get it.
It said your basic welcome and that they received my application. Also inviting to fill out secondary. Check your spam email. I'm sure its there.
What does "Area of medicine" mean?
All are 250 words.
this happened to me too! I'm not a reapplicant. I got the text on a Friday and didn't get the email with the secondary until Tuesday. I think it just is delayed
Would I be able to discuss working with people with disabilities? Not sure if this is technically considered in "multiculturalism"Multicultulturalism is a difficult topic to understand since it keeps evolving but people assume it means someone different from how you identify yourself. it is definitely questionable to assume homelessness as a culture as opposed some people who got here from poorer countries who might currently be poor but do come from a specific culture.

Let us say if your parents/you come from another non-european country, everyone here you dealt with is of a different culture. If you are caucasian and the people with the disabilities happen to be Filipino you dealt with multiculturism.
Honestly I feel like it could be either. I said the specialty I'm interested in and why especially because I mentioned it in one of the other essays, but working in primary care with medically underserved communities is a focus that's just as valid if you don't know exactly what specialty you're interested in yet (FM, IM, etc.). I feel like as long as you frame it in the right way and write well, it'll be fine either way even if you don't have a specific specialty you're interested in yet.
Sounds perfect. They want to know how you get along with people who dont look, speak, grewup in similar environment as you.
Submit when you are ready, TMDSAS might have your letters but takes 2-3 weeks to process them in
Will I still be able to utilize the "document upload" for updates?
I believe you would send any updates via email in the future, but see what the instructions are on the A&M portal.
Where do LoR's get uploaded? I'm looking at the application portal and have no clue where they would even go?For AMCAS ENMED applicants, their reply mentions that when the applications are received from AMCAS, info is sent to log into their application portal and LORs can be uploaded there. The transcripts are received as part of the AMCAS application and don't need to be sent separately, to my understanding. Hope that helps clarify things
Your letters will come from your AMCAS or TMDSAS application, whichever system you used to apply to EnMed.
Thank you, I just realized that you can add letter to A&M now thru AMCAS. Do you have any ideas why my CASPer may not be showing?
I appreciate you so much sir! Thank you
Same here !
I got first quartile and prematched here lol.@medstudent13579 and @Dr.MaddiGuddi thanks for offering to answer our questions
Do ya'll know how much a&m cares about CASPER in the admissions process?
Pretty social and collaborative. I like college station its close to everything and there is still a lot to do in town, but you only have to spend one year in College Station if its not your cup of tea because of the campus selection system which was a big plus for me.
Speaking for the EnMed program at the TMC campus, it is a lovely building right in the medical center, tons of great food and activities nearby! Very close to Rice Village, and the building is right on the metro rail which can take you to museum district/parks, midtown, or downtown. The culture is very collaborative at EnMed, everyone is very friendly/willing to help. The smaller cohort makes it much easier to be friends with almost everyone in your class!
Yea pretty much what @medstudent13579 said. I enjoyed my time at BCS, but not so much where I would want to stay back for all 4 years haha. I think students are collaborative and we get a lot of help from upperclassmen as well, with student led exam reviews, free tutoring services, and peers drop their anki decks or study notes on Google Drive. Additionally, since we are completely pass/fail now and dont have any ranking system in place for pre-clerkship, it helps ease the load off of students.
this happened to me too - i ended up getting the email for it 3 days later. i meant to call admissions about it but i was so busy with my other secondaries that i got the email before i had the chance to.
Adversity ≠ trauma. Everyone has faced adversity in some form, reflect on your experience during undergrad a little deeper. I would steer clear of writing more about something you've already addressed multiple times.
Okay, thanks for the feedback.
Two 30-minute 1 to 1 interviews, virtual
Thank you 🙂
