No way to tell. Personally, I am erring on the side of caution since I have other apps to complete and time is a limited resource for me.

i’m done with all of mine so was thinking about it but i might just take a day or 2 off

Personally, I just finished all my others and am going to take a day off to enjoy the weekend before trying to finish the app in a day or two. Probably helps though that I have a million essays written from my 37 other 2*
 
Lowkey feel like they are dropping the ball a bit lol...don't really think I'm gonna wanna complete this secondary if I get it after I've completed everything else

Received an email from Miami that I cleared their initial review process and that I should expect a secondary invite within the next 24 hours!
 
+1 OOS for the email. The email did not contain a secondary link to their portal, however like the other comments said, we should receive that <24 hours.

I got two emails at the same time- the second email with the secondary

That’s…. It?

None of the onslaught of prompts from last year?
 
For what it’s worth I heard they are actually filtering primaries for the secondaries, it even says it in the first email they just sent.

Hope y’all get it 🤝
 
I mean each are 5000 characters so length is still consistent lol
I feel much better about 3 essays with absurd max limits than 6262737 essays with normal max limits.

I feel like using 3,000 out of 5,000 characters is fine. Trying to spend 5,000 characters on a “Why Us” will probably lead to grasping at straws!

Very true
 
So glad I didn't prewrite this one...yay for procrastination
Yes, it's mercifully shorter than it used to be.
Sorry to those of you who pre-wrote the thousands of words going by previous year's questions...

Are they just filtering based on stats (US citizenship/permanent residency, 3.7 cGPA, 3.6 science GPA, 505 MCAT), or anything else

No idea they just said “your primary application has successfully cleared our initial review process” but didn’t say what that was
