I'm also IS, did you receive the actual secondary or just the acknowledgement of primary received? Cause that's all I have so far.
I got the confirmation and secondary the same day
 
How are you guys approaching the personal statement? I understand it’s just a long why us essay, but should we try to integrate our other main essays (diversity, adversity, etc.) since it’s so long?

Read the question again, it's not about your past but about what you want to achieve at NEOMED in the future.
 
@ColdbrewFanatic or @EBApps
Could one of you please copy/past the complete secondary?

The part about "If you answered "yes" to any of the preceding questions, explain here. Be sure to indicate the level of offense"
I assume there was a list of crimes before that?
Anything else missing?

Well I was going to approach it by explaining how NEOMED will support my goals in medicine, and I imagine I’d need to give some context in order to do so, no? How would you personally approach the prompt?

You can write about your goals for your time at NEOMED however you want, as long as you answer the question they asked

Thanks man. Forgot I kinda turned it in and couldn’t click boxes I didn't select originally
 
Has anyone received a complete/confirmation email? Submitted 7/30
 
How long after you were verified did you receive any emails? I just got verified 8/6, no emails from them yet.
 
+1 IS II, LM 71 complete 7/30. Does anyone know if NEOMED uses rolling admissions? I've heard different things about that and in their email, it seems like they don't. Is there any benefit in scheduling for the earliest interview date or would it not make much of a difference to schedule, say, another 10 days later.
 
+1 IS II, LM 69, submitted 7/29 and complete 8/6 (I think)!

Does anyone see where you can go back in the portal and check what time you scheduled the interview for? Also, do we assume that it is in EST?
 
anybody sign up for an interview? I closed the interview before I wrote down which time slot I selected.
PSA: If anyone else accidentally clicks away before writing down their interview slot, click on this link and it should bring you back to the interview date page. Saying this because I was stressing like crazy because the site itself does not link back to the interview schedule page after you click away.
 
IS II today, submitted 7/24, LM 77 a slight mission fit but my app itself was definitely by no means rural focused- really just my writing and backgrouind
