Just bump to everyone that I think the website may still be having some issues, so just heads up that I'm sure Alpert will be mindful of delayed secondaries due to this. Best of luck everyone

Hey just a heads up for anyone who’s still waiting on a secondary: Brown has a primary care/population medicine combined degree option, and if you select that you’re interested in it, you have two additional essay prompts:

1.) In your opinion, what is one of the most pressing concerns in healthcare? If given unlimited resources, how do you envision beginning to tackle this issue? (2000 characters)

2.) Describe your vision and goals for your primary care medicine career and any experiences that have helped develop it. How might you accomplish the dual roles of improving individual health and the health of populations? (2000 characters)

Anyone else not received secondaries yet?

 

[RunnerDad]

Anyone else not received secondaries yet?

Many, many have not. This is not cause for alarm. They've sent maybe 15-20% of the secondaries that will be going out in the next week or two.

 

[findingdory]

Me! submitted 5/28 and verified 6/7

 

[Iron Man23]

for the question "Reflect on a non-academic situation when you had to change course, and how you did so." would talking about research be fine, or would that be considered academic?

That’s the epitome of academic

 

[Iron Man23]

That’s the epitome of academic

thought so. I had an essay prepared for last years questions but they changed this year to "non academic". Thanks!

 

[Zirah]

For the third prompt, would not knowing what to do with my life for several years after graduating college, and then moving into healthcare and deciding on medicine be considered non-academic? I know returning to school was the end result of changing course, but most of the essay is about the initial challenge and reflection that got me there.

[SubwayFiveDollarFootlong]

For the third question, could I talk about being a re-applicant or is that considered academic as well?

 

[Baller27]

do y'all think i could talk about how i kept gaining weight and then changed to a weight loss regimen to lose weight for prompt 3

 

[Basalganglia4life]

do y'all think i could talk about how i kept gaining weight and then changed to a weight loss regimen to lose weight for prompt 3

i think it is less the situation and more the reflection. Like how/what this challenge taught you about yourself. How you can apply these learnings to the future? I think the main thing they want in these challenge questions is how you have developed inner strength and resilience

 

[findingdory]

would be it ok to talk about an experience from high school

 

[Baller27]

i think it is less the situation and more the reflection. Like how/what this challenge taught you about yourself. How you can apply these learnings to the future? I think the main thing they want in these challenge questions is how you have developed inner strength and resilience

so then i could go with that topic and then just frame it in a way that taught me those skills?

 

[goge69]

for listing prerequisites, should we list ALL courses that fall in each category, or just enough to satisfy their minimum requirement? Some schools tell us to just list the minimum requirement but Brown doesn't have a specific rule.
