Just got the "application complete" email, submitted secondary 7/22

is this the same as “supplemental received” email?

 

[Jabroni12]

is this the same as “supplemental received” email?

I believe it's different. This one is titled "Application Complete" and says "we have received all the materials required to complete your application. If you are selected for a virtual interview, you will be contacted via email with further instructions."

 

[opaqueglass]

so i never got an email for secondary apps...
i know it might just be part of the screening but im paranoid bc i missed an email from a different school until i signed in with my old credentials (i was a reapplicant for that school). i found out they had supposedly emailed me a whole month ago but i swear i never got it lol.

anyways should i wait a little longer or reach out?

 

[doctor?_t]

Just got the secondary complete email. I submitted on 7/22.

I got verified on August 6th, 2025, but still haven't recieved any secondaries.....does this mean i got rejected? wanna make sure if im being ghosted or not

Maybe. But I was verified July 29th and haven't received. We both may be rejected or EVMS may be slow

 

[hopefulpremed2]

i am way past the 15 day deadline.. would it be worth it to still submit this secondary?

i didnt even see that this deadline existed. pretty unfortunate considering ive been working on this secondary for 3 hours now lol

it's a recommendation so that you can be processed on a timely manner. Their hard deadline is in December.

 

[pelbelmelsel]

Has anybody received an interview from them?

 

[zoroisthebest]

bro I sent my app 7/23 and I am instate..............

[HSim87]

I reached out and they said my app is currently under review. submitted on 08/06/2025

 

[pelbelmelsel]

Yes!

 

[AcceptedInJesusNameAMEN]

hmmm hopefully this school is still sending out secondaries :/

 

[sr07]

[Mugiwara Luffy]

Are you RD or ED?

RD

 

[AcceptedInJesusNameAMEN]

+1 oos secondary

 

[ddchen51]

Dawg I have yet to receive a secondary and I got verified 7/24 or something LOL

 

[HSim87]

ok. I was verified on 08/10. no secondary.
I believe its a soft R for me.

 

[not_houseMD]

Yeah maybe. Sounds like they're soft R'ing lots of people. Time to cut the losses?

 

[pelbelmelsel]

I had no idea they did soft R's

 

[curiousblizzard]

ok. I was verified on 08/10. no secondary.
I believe its a soft R for me.

I submitted my app here like last week which is obv much later than you but same, no secondary. Good thing I didn’t prewrite this one I guess?? Haha

 

[curiousblizzard]

I applied to them like last week and no secondary either, didn’t know they did this? What’s your LM?

LM?

Sorry for the late response, my primary was transmitted 08/18.

 

[Copysort]

Im lowkey struggling with the prompts :/

 

[suturelyhilarious]

Received an OOS secondary on 8/29! Primary was verified on 8/16. LM 73.

 

[sardinetoast]

Im lowkey struggling with the prompts :/

Anything we can help you brainstorm?

 

[Copysort]

Anything we can help you brainstorm?

My biggest issue is deciding which story fits each prompt. I would like to use the stories from my exposure to medicine essay for the "What do you like most/least" prompts. I guess I don't have enough stories to answer the prompts :/

So this was one of my last secondaries I procrastinated... is it worth applying at all this late

 

[HSim87]

probably not..these guys dont really send alota secondaries out.

submit it asap, if you look at last year’s thread it’s not too late for you. some people submitted late august/early sep & still received a quick turnaround with an II

 

[not_houseMD]

any one else still waiting on secondary? why are they so selective with their secondaries? 🙄

 

[curiousblizzard]

Yes, been like 10 days for me I think, still no secondary. Not sure if im gonna get one. Lm 70.6

 

[pink5diva]

submitted secondary 8/3 and radio silence since… anyone else in the same boat?

 

[not_houseMD]

I never even got a secondary...

 

[futureobgyn2@24]

submitted secondary 8/3 and radio silence since… anyone else in the same boat?

application complete email on 7/14, radio silence since 🤣 im not stressing abt it for right now, still early days

 

[HSim87]

Submitted primary on 07/24. Never got secondary since. They said I’m under review…that’s a long time!

 

[sparse]

probably not..these guys dont really send alota secondaries out.

So I have the secondary already, I just haven't gotten to doing it yet, did you mean II?

 

[sparse]

submit it asap, if you look at last year’s thread it’s not too late for you. some people submitted late august/early sep & still received a quick turnaround with an II

Thank you!! Will do my best to

 

[cristinayanginthemaking]

OOS II received today! LM 69 secondary submitted 8/1 and complete on 8/2

 

[deleted1224323]

By the time I get a secondary, the cycle will already be over. I'm convinced...😭

I went to UCLA which is on a quarter system and had a series of Chem courses that was recommended to take to fulfill med school requirements. The series was: Chem 14A (gen chem), Chem 14B (gen chem), Chem 14BL (lab with a small lecture component, listed as gen/ochem lab 1, heavier focus on gen chem), Chem 14C (ochem), Chem 14CL (lab with a small lecture component, listed as gen/ochem lab 2, heavier focus on ochem), Chem 14D (ochem). I'm wondering if this will fulfill the requirements for EVMS. So far I have listed everything as such:

Gen Chem Lectures:
-Chem 14A
-Chem 14B
-Chem 14BL

Gen Chem Labs:
-Chem 14BL
-Chem 14CL

OChem Lectures:
-Chem 14C
-Chem 14D
-Chem 14CL

Ochem Labs:
-Chem 14BL
-Chem 14CL

It's a little confusing since the lab descriptions seem to cover both gen and ochem. I don't know if listing them as such where the courses overlap will count to EVMS's requirements. Furthermore, in this case, it seems that I would be missing a third lab for both Gen Chem and OChem. Would I need to take a third lab course for both? I took two Biochem classes but neither with a lab component.

Email them. They were super chill when I did.

To everyone worrying about the radio silence on secondaries, I may be able to shed some light on this. I am a reapplicant, but I applied to EVMS both times. Last year, I was verified around 08/16/24. I got radio silence for months and got a secondary around 10/8/24 or so. I ultimately did not get an interview last year, although my writing needed ALOT of polish in hindsight.

This year, I applied 06/15/2025, and was verified 07/28/2025. I did not receive a secondary immediately from them, but surprisingly received one on 08/11/2025. I submitted my secondary somewhere around 08/19-08/26 (cant remember the exact date, and I'm going off my completion email and the last modified dates on my secondary documents.) I am now waiting and hoping I made enough of an oomph this year to get an interview.

The only difference between the two years was I now had research experience, I heavily polished my essays, and applied earlier, also adding activities i failed to the first time, along with a new volunteer activity that had about 50 hours on it.

As for my stats,

I cant give an LM score because my profile doesn't give an accurate score ( which I have gotten confirmation from LizzyM herself).

cGPA ~2.71 GPA with upward trend.
sGPA- 2.69 GPA with upward trend.
SMP GPA from CWRU MSMP program: 3.906.

MCAT 503 (126/124/127/126)

I am an Ohio applicant, but I am a Virginia native, moving to ohio when I was just turning 25. so by AMCAS standards I am OOS.

From my understanding, EVMS screens pretty hardcore for their secondaries. I can speak to that. The GPA and MCAT stats I listed have not changed between my two cycles. I definitely wrote them off as a R, given I went almost 2 months without hearing from them last year. I was shocked when they sent me one to begin with.


So in summary, don't write them, or yourself off. My stats are very low, and I got one both years. I am confident all of y'all smoke me statwise. if you haven't gotten a secondary yet, pre-write them so you can turn them around.
