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"
 
can someone post the questions once they have them

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?
 
+1 OOS secondary
Also unsure if two gap years qualifies as non-trad anymore lol
 
I got the secondary email but no follow up email with a link to the portal? Any else on the same boat?
 
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
 
for the question that is asking if we are a reapplicant, does that mean in general or reapplicant to the school specifically because last cycle i didnt apply to wright
