Curious what's considered "non-traditional." I don’t consider myself non-traditional, but this application year will be my second gap year. Should I just answer yes for #10?

"Traditional" is to attend medical school without taking a gap year. So I would say you are "non-traditional"

 

[MiniTron3]

can someone post the questions once they have them

 

[h2hnct]

"Traditional" is to attend medical school without taking a gap year. So I would say you are "non-traditional"

I feel like gap years are common, so I didn't really feel like I was a "non-trad" but ya realized after searching online that unless you're applying right away you would be considered non-trad. Thank you!!

Yea I was actually just looking into it and there are some conflicting opinions. Gap years are becoming a common thing, so maybe the definition of "nontrad" will change but I am not sure. I also will be taking 2 gap years so same situation. What I was wondering is what they are expecting for q10 because q6 is somewhat similar?

 

[Swiftlions]

+1 OOS secondary
Also unsure if two gap years qualifies as non-trad anymore lol

 

[dooboo]

+1 OOS still waiting on additional links

They sent another email with the link to the secondary portal an hour later for me.

I'm in the same boat! I'm planning on calling the admissions support line tomorrow

 

[prospectivedoctor8781]

I haven’t received the actual secondary, just the email that I qualify for one.

 

[wysdoc]

@h2hnct and @archaea6 if you have the complete list of questions from this year's invitation could you please check them against the ones I posted in the first post? (last year's questions)

[dooboo]

Hi everyone! For those who did not receive a follow-up email, if you call the applicant support phone number they provided, they will help you out and send you the link/activate your account! Took me less than 5 minutes this morning. They said that they've been getting lots of calls about access to account/not receiving the link

 

[archaea6]

Hi how do you know they're the same prompts? Did you get the additional links?

I did get the additional links but the prompts were the very first link I got
