For prerequisites, if our physics lab and lecture was combined, do we indicate the same class for both? Or just select "I'm not matching any prerequisites to this course" for one or the other?

If I remember correctly, I listed the same class for both sections last year.

hey guys, can anyone help me to understand this question?

"At the Brody School of Medicine, our mission places a strong emphasis on serving the community—both within Brody and throughout Eastern North Carolina and the state. Can you describe a meaningful experience from your past that reflects your commitment to service, and how it shaped your understanding of its importance in healthcare?"

I don’t understand what they mean by "its importance in healthcare." like healthcare is inherently serving another person so what would I expound on there? like to me that feels like asking why is service important in being a waiter, like that’s just the job. am I misunderstanding the question? ALSO when they say an experience that reflects your commitment, what does that mean? can I just talk about a meaningful service activity where I was proactive in helping?

Hi all! I submitted my secondary for Brody on 7/17 but still have not received any communication that my application was complete or submitted. I know that in previous years there was a slight delay (~7 days) after some individuals submitted when they received a notification that they were complete. Has anyone else received any communication after submitting this cycle?
