Thanks. Wtf I wonder why I didnt get one, lol. Did you send your letters via interfolio?

 

[ag0637]

yes I did! Honestly, I would call Ms. Henderson on Monday...she is absolutely awesome and so so helpful. I couldn't believe that in less than a week I went from "complete" to an interview invite.

Also, joined your fb group! thanks for all you're doing 🙂

No, I haven't received it yet...

 

[playaodamonth]

only if your competitive, I got told no thanks by CUSOM but when I explained my messed up AACOMAS app they sent me a secondary right away. def worth your time. I'm finishing my secondary today. Trying to figure out a good response to "predicting the future" essay question.

Do you know what stats you get screened for secondary?

[pjd9779]

Hey guys wanted to give you guys a heads up on the whole minimum requirements rules with regards to overall and science GPA.

I didn't know about them until reading this thread a couple a weeks ago here after submitting my primary. I do not meet those GPA requirements.

However I got an email from the admissions staff saying that despite me not meeting those requirements they were still interested in me and were sending my application to the "Pre-Screen Committee". So I guess in theory there's still a chance to get a secondary with out meeting those GPA requirements.

I'm a non traditional applicant so I guess that's why they're still interested since I've done some stuff since college.

I just sent off the LORs and submitted the secondary. Keeping my fingers crossed!!!!!!

 

[Syialb]

Hey guys, did everybody conform to the half page limit for the essays? I have almost one full page for two of the three essays and I'm wondering whether I should cut down before submitting. I'd like to keep the lengths if possible because the quality of the essays will suffer if I shorten them

It won't suffer nearly as much if they deem the essay too long and decide not to read it all. I'd say it is best to follow the directions that were provided.

That's a really good point, thanks. Time to cut down.

For the question, there are many challenges facing healthcare in America today. Describe how you believe the Accountable Care
Act will impact healthcare in the United States over the next five years.

It's supposed to be "Affordable Care Act", right?

I just want to make sure, maybe Word autocorrected something. Thanks everybody.

+1 All this and more is on their website. It is very informative.

I think if you went to CUSOM, you would have no problem getting into a residency. Most likely a good one, due to the great rotations, curriculum, faculty, and reputation of Campbell in the south. Plus, Campbell has plans to create some residency programs (part of their goals).

 

[Mr Kenobi]

So I submitted my secondary with payment on 7-27. Didn't hear anything or receive any confirmation email. On 8-7 I sent them an email to confirm receipt of the secondary but also to inform them that my letter of rec packet will include more letters than the two required letters. I still haven't heard anything from Campbell.?!

They will only e-mail you once it is complete. If they do not have your letters yet, then your application is not considered complete. Did you send the letters?
