do you know how many characters? 3000? I am trying to prewrite!

 

[Deggroll]

I didn't see anything about character limit on their secondary. One of my answers went up to 2700 characters so it has to be higher than that assuming there is a limit.

Has anyone that submitted their primary after June 24th gotten a secondary yet??

 

[dodoo123]

Has anyone that submitted their primary after June 24th gotten a secondary yet??

I was in a meeting with them early in the summer, and they informed me that due to campus reconstructions and a shortage of staff, secondaries will be sent out until mid-August. I think you're fine and shouldn't worry.

[Deggroll]

First round of interviews were today right? Can someone who attended give some insight and thoughts 🙂?

 

[USSFSpecialist]

Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be - I saw feedback from previous years where people had problems with the panel style format

 

[amygdalahijack]

Anyone verified the beginning of August and receive a secondary already?

Touro takes a bit with sending a secondary. I submitted 6/21 and got my secondary 8/6. You’ll get one dont stress, just have it prewritten so when you get it, you can submit immediately
