The whole focus of my application is on underserved communities and how it relates to my background, yet I've received nothing from this school. OOS ORM. LM 70. Anyone else?

My focus is very similar and im from Southern California. I am hoping for a secondary but at this point its out of our hands.

Anyone can volunteer with underserved communities and say they want to help them. In fact, I'm betting more than half of applicants say that.

True. Probably more than that. But that's not how my application is shaped, so my curiosity still stands. Either way, those who are ORM + have volunteering experience in underserved communities can still meet CD's mission. For example, there are lots of groups out there classified as ORM who have faced, as CD's secondary puts it, discrimination.

It could be a multitude of things, which is why it’s most likely a holistic screening. What’s for us will be for us. Try to stay positive, guys.

I'm ORM too and got secondaries the first day.

 

[SushiSphinx]

Have they even sent out that many secondaries?

I'd say keep waiting. They have a wide open window to review apps.

Sincerely,

Basically same profile as you but IS xx

[Sparklegirl90263]

They’ve also sent pre secondary rejections according to the thread, so if you haven’t received THAT yet, I wouldn’t stress about not receiving a secondary yet!

 

[chizzykingg]

[ritababyy]

I didnt know Morehouse does that

 

[chizzykingg]

Yea i already got pre secondary rejected lol

 

[scorpionfish]

where did you see that it's just gpa/mcat? I think they do a holistic screen like the UCs but idk for sure

sorry all - I was mistaken. I was looking at the secondaries AAMC document and misread the wrong one.

Does anyone know where in the portal you can see if they got your letters of recommendation?

 

[ritababyy]

it doesnt show it, they should have sent an email saying your letter of recommendation was received along with your secondary

 

[Dr_TallyMo22]

My secondary receipt email doesn’t say that. Just says to make sure you assign 3-5 letters thru AMCAS.

 

[hublot]

A letter packet that has the 3-5 letters is okay? Do you guys know?

 

[Dr_TallyMo22]

I’m sure it is but I would double check their site. I’ll check msar right now for you as well.

 

[hublot]

Thank you so much! I forgot about msar. it says they accept so it should be okay I think! I really appreciate your guys' help @Dr_TallyMo22 @ritababyy

 

[Dr_TallyMo22]

Yep just checked, committee letter is A-okay. No problem at all!

 

[ritababyy]

lol you are definitely right. i read that wrong. but i would just look on amcas and make sure your LOR's have been assigned to the school.

 

[psalm46.5]

Have they sent out pre-secondary Rs?

Curious about this too

 

[chizzykingg]

Curious about this too

maybe not i havent seen anyone say this yet

 

[watchMedoiit]

Does anyone know how the prereqs work for interviews? Like mine will expire this year according to their guidelines. Does anyone know how this affects II posibility?

 

[Dr_TallyMo22]

Since they expire this year, I feel they would be lenient. What is the cut off again? 10 years?

 

[chizzykingg]

Has anyone got presecondary rejected

 

[levifye]

Has anyone received secondaries? How long did it take after you were verified by AMCAS?

Drew screens so you will hear varying answers. Ignorance is bliss here.
