Get help with your application
Use all the free resources available to you from SDN: articles, guides, expert advising, forums discussions, and school research.
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."

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?

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

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.

Received an OOS secondary on 8/29! Primary was verified on 8/16. LM 73.
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 :/
probably not..these guys dont really send alota secondaries out.

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.
