To upcoming applicants, this school has a very lengthy screening process PRIOR TO WHICH your application is even considered for interview.
They also do not send Pre-II Rs until well after April 30th of the following year and have incredibly poor communication.

The secondary will likely become available mid-July, and I HIGHLY recommend prioritizing this school over others for timeliness as they are very slow. For example, I submitted my secondary mid-August, and it finished preliminary screening in the middle of NOVEMBER, after which they told me I had met basic requirements and was under consideration for an interview invitation. In other words, if you don't submit this secondary by mid-to-late July, you could risk not even being considered for an interview well until November or December, so please be proactive. I would venture to say that unless you have connections to the school or are a New Jersey local, and you haven't submitted this secondary by the third week of July, don't even waste your time on it. The secondary also involves 3 500-word prompts. Best of luck y'all!

Are secondary prompts usually the same? Would prewriting be worth?
 
Do they require Casper for interview consideration?
