Does anyone know if I'd be able to use Biochemistry to satisfy the Chemistry with lab requirement?

Same with my school and orgo, it had a separate lab that wasn't specifically Orgo I lab and Orgo II lab, but Emory said it was fine. It's a good idea to clear it with admissions though @run321 so you don't get blindsided later and have to take a course before matriculation

Did anyone not receive a secondary even if they do not meet the school's screening out criteria? LM 69.70 with 2 interviews scheduled for August already, but very curious if this happened to anyone else.

With a LizzyM of 69.7 you should be above their threshold no?

I am above their threshold, which is why I am curious why I never got a secondary. I’m not too pressed about it, but wondering if it’s even worth messaging them about.

Yes, if I were you, I'd message them about it. You have nothing to lose; they won't "hold it against you" if there's some routine process answer to your question.
 
how many LORs did you guys submit? (for MD application)
their website says they strongly recommend not to submit more than 3, but their secondary application portal doesn't say that... so I'm debating whether or not to submit >3

I would follow the recommendation of the website that’s what I did.

It says this too though:

“May I send additional letters of recommendation?

You may submit additional letters of recommendation, but keep in mind that the Admissions Committee may not be able to read an excessive amount of letters. Please limit additional letters to just a few.”

It’s up to you but it doesn’t really seem like they want more, just because it’ll be more work. If you have a 4 really important letters then I guess it would be a good idea.

hey, I'm in a similar dilemma my school UC berkeley as a weird chem sequence where its just one semester of gen chem + lab. On your portal did you just drag biochem with along with your semester of gen chem in the section?

Yup! My school sends a cover letter with my letters of rec packet that explains our unique chem sequence too, so I mentioned that in the description box as well.

For, the health related experiences prompt (2nd prompt), should I be listing all my health-related experiences or focusing on a few major ones? How you all approaching it?
 
I wrote about the 3 most impactful ones. I think they can be tangentially related to medicine too because they are asking you for "health-related" experiences.

last cycle, I think the first II was sent in September.

however, last cycle they did not sending out secondaries until august 1 if i remember correctly, whereas this year they sent out secondaries in early/mid July...so I wonder if the timeline will get shifted earlier at all?

I just want to say that this is exactly what Emory says to do in regards to AP courses not showing up correctly (From the FAQ)
"If your credits are not appearing accurately (for example, AP or Pass/Fail coursework is not showing the correct credit hours):

Drag the course to the appropriate category of the Emory Course Requirements
In the blank row directly under the course, click the box for "Future Registration"
If there is no blank row, click the green “Add” button at the top of the category
In the Comments, type the name of the course that isn't listed correctly, then tell us the corrected information. "

Hi! I hope it’s going well so far! I was wondering if you could comment on the vibes during both the interview (stressful? Chill?) and your class/school culture. Thanks!

interview wasn’t the best…I was actually convinced that I was not going to get in. To be honest the group interview part was weird. They essentially ask everyone to answer the same questions one at a time so it’s hard to really show any collaborative skills. Don’t be stressed! clearly even a sub optimal experience can lead to good outcomes!

I love my classmates everyone is very cool and kind! The school certainly isn’t perfect (no where is) but the issues we have come upon have been annoying at worst and the admin are very very good at working with students should anything come up! Overall I’m having a good time so far and am really happy with my choice!

gap or no gap? I realized nearly everyone sent primary/secondaries one month earlier than me here. How did you guys manage to do it that quick?
Click to expand...
Many of the people who applied as early as possible had been preparing their application months prior to AMCAS even opening (I started writing my PS in November of last year for example). This also means many of them had secondaries prewritten and all they had to do was copy and paste.
