5000 char for each prompt is diabolical
use it as an upper limit and not a requirement5000 char for each prompt is diabolical
what kind of maniac writes the essay in the portalDon't forget to save your responses elsewhere. I exited it and didn't submit and now I have to re do an essay I didn't save already.
Yea I know I know. It was for the family ties to miller, not the real essays.what kind of maniac writes the essay in the portal
No clue. I also submitted and and did not get prompted to pay anythingHas there always been no secondary fee for Miller?

Just kidding, there is a link after you submit the secondary that you have to click on. It takes you to another application portal website where it prompts you to pay.Has there always been no secondary fee for Miller?
The language on their site is wishy-washy- "UM Miller wiill send Secondary Applications to nearly every applicant who has applied to the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine."Are they just filtering based on stats (US citizenship/permanent residency, 3.7 cGPA, 3.6 science GPA, 505 MCAT), or anything else
I havent, just the original email that said your app was under reviewany mstp people receive one yet?

Maybe the mstp does its own screening process. Not really sureSame
Not answering it. I don't have anything else pressing to say, so I should not answer it. If nothing pops out and comes to mind, probably a good idea to leave it blank, especially given their essays were 5000 characters of space each.How is everyone answering the "anything else" question at the end of the secondary?
I was wondering this as well since their website says you should be able to mark both md and md/mph, but that isn't an option on the portal where you can just select md or md/mphIf we apply for the MD/MPH program, are we still considered for the MD only program?
nevermind, looks like they are being nice to us this year with the secondary+1 oos yesterday morning. this is going to be a fun one
I still haven't received one. Primary was verified 7/10Did anyone still not get one🤔
There was a link on the submission confirmation page that you had to copy and paste into your browser. Here it is: University of Miami - Miller School of Medicine Applicant Portal. You can login using your AMCAS ID and your DOB. Then they will email you a login link every time. This is how you'll pay for the secondary app and check the status of it. Hope this helps!After submitting your secondary, has anyone else been able to access the portal again? They didn't prompt me to pay, and now it wont let me log in. No confirmation of completion either, lol... 😭
Thank you so much!! I never got the submission confirmation page, it was glitching for me.There was a link on the submission confirmation page that you had to copy and paste into your browser.

You should contact the admissions team to clarify whether a math letter will fulfill their requirements.Hi everyone, for Miami's letters of recommendation requirements, does a Math letter count as a science letter, and are the strict with it?
I know NYMC had a similar policy, but they emailed me to say that I could just move forward with my current letters (Bio and Math), and my app was marked complete.
Also, I really don't have that much experience with Spanish-speaking populations...would that be a major weakness in my application? I plan to say that I will be taking a medical Spanish class this upcoming semester at a community college but I don't know if that will suffice.
To those who have submitted, how was payment collected? I never got an email or anything afterward. Submitted 8/1/24
It was an unusual process than most schools but here's how!There was a link on the submission confirmation page that you had to copy and paste into your browser.

Does anyone know if they have a strict 2 week deadline?
I still have not received their secondary but I thought I read that in my pre-writing
(I'm hoping I'm wrong, just want to prepare myself if I'm not 🙂)
I think they’ve only sent on 2 days so far. I’m sure a ton will be sent starting Monday this weekI still haven’t received the secondary… should I be worried? My stats are good so I don’t know what to think
