Womp womp bro we do not care 😭😭

You don’t care about Nevada and its mission? Seems like this school wouldn’t be a good fit.

for those who got secondaries today, when did y'all submit your primary?

 

[Goro]

If you don’t have an actual personal tie to Nevada, that makes the essay very simple. Don’t create something that isn’t there, trust me, it isn’t worth it. If you get 3 years in and they find out, then all that debt for what?

I’m just an applicant but some of the admins on the thread can chime in.

@Goro
@LizzyM
@wysdoc

I agree

The day it opened! I think they’re sending in batches, so if you haven’t gotten one, don’t fret!

02/23

Bro you’re just trying to max your chances don’t act like you care

That's a choice... This site is supposed to be supportive and your assumption is that a comment is meant to prevent other applicants from applying on a basis that the school the forum is for says they're looking for 80%, in state? That's before even getting into the aspects on being honest on applications.

For the Kira assessment, am I good to assume that the dress code it suit and tie like a normal interview even though I'm just talking to myself?

Consider videos can be re-watched. And that it is supposed to be like an interview. Whether that's a dress shirt and blazer or full suit to you, present yourself how you want to be seen as a future professional.

If I am applying this cycle, and I just graduated May 2024, would I still need to answer this prompt: "If you took time off between earning your baccalaureate degree and applying to medical school, please explain why"?

Same, this thread is making me anxious especially as an IS app lol

I would! It’s space to talk about what you’ve been up to on your gap year

What does it look like/subject title? 😅 cleaned out my junk and spam yesterday 🫠

For the question of a personal connection to an individual at Roseman, one of my physician mentor's old dean is at the school now. Would you say this is somewhat of a personal connection? Or too big of a stretch and I should just leave it as none?

I think if they couldn’t name you I would leave it out

 

[notcooking]

Has anyone gotten a secondary with lower-ish stats? My stats aren't that bad, but I was screened out of a few schools at the beginning of the cycle (I'm pretty sure it was because of one of my MCAT sections). I don't want to bother if it'll just be an automatic R....

I've message them during the info session but yeah I'm going to just leave it out.

What was the subsection score? If its 122 or lower, then maybe. If 123 or 124, you're 100% fine.

Nah I’m not low stat but I have a subsection in the range and still got a secondary high gpa tho and highish Mcat with a low subsection sprinkled in

 

[Gigatt1234]

^ for reference 509 Mcat 122 cars 3.9 gpa

 

[lovemedicine12]

Hi all! I also had a question about the personal connection to an individual at Roseman- would I be able to mention a family friend I have who goes to their dental school? Or do you think they are specifically looking for faculty members?

Has anyone did the Kira yet? If so once you record the video can you start over?

It’s one and done per the Kira email.

You will require a desktop or laptop computer with a functioning webcam, microphone, and internet connection. The system allows unlimited practice sessions, but once you start the formal assessment questions, you only get one chance.This allows us to capture your candid responses.

 

[Satosho_Okayama]

What even is a Kira assessment? I’ve never done one before. Are the questions like CASPER and Preview? How long are we given to speak?

Very similar to Casper, the amount of time per question varies and there is both typing and speaking

 

[DoneDone3451]

How many of yall are anywhere close to submitting this secondary? its taking me forever

How close to the word limit on the 1000-word essays are you all coming? Is 700 words good enough if you feel like you have covered everything?

To be very honest I’m just aiming for 500 words bc I have forgotten how to write compelling secondary essays

I can never forget how to write compelling essays because that's something I never knew in the first place 😎🤣

Yeah I feel like I have been writting these all weekend !!!

 

[LateApplicantKing]

bro bro bro... 500 to 1000 words? ARE THEY INSANE? I applied to 30 schools and none of them have this long of a response

 

[LateApplicantKing]

Surely they meant 500-1000 characters... right???

 

[Satosho_Okayama]

Surely they meant 500-1000 characters... right???

On the secondary portal it says 500 word minimum. I wonder if this was meant to deter applicants who don’t have ties to the state & to give applicants w/ lived experiences in Nevada to have more room to talk

 

[ExcellentCycle2425]

Do we just email them for a secondary fee waiver?

 

[samsungdoc]

No you needed to apply to FAP with AMCAS when the cycle opened last year to get secondary fee waivers

 

[ExcellentCycle2425]

No you needed to apply to FAP with AMCAS when the cycle opened last year to get secondary fee waivers

So they automatically send waivers to anyone with FAP?

 

[Meganerd2012]

So they automatically send waivers to anyone with FAP?

Yes. It should already reflect the wavier in the portal.

Yeh that makes sense. Thank god I have a tie or else I would've been screwed LOL

 

[panda06]

Can anyone explain how Kira works? I haven’t had to complete one yet. Also how strict do we think that five day deadline is for the Kira? I’m on vacation right now and will be cutting it close to get that in lol.

it was the same as casper pretty much

 

[DoneDone3451]

it was the same as casper pretty much

I wish they would just take CASPER scores OR the KIRA, already did so well on CASPER haha.

Plz don't say the "C" word. Have PTSD from it

 

[Gigatt1234]

If they said my Kira is due in 5 business days last Friday would that make it due this Wednesday or this Friday ?
