Members don't see this ad.

what action should i take?

just do not submit secondary?

or should i contact them and tell them i do not want to file my secondary?




and no money refund for primary app right?

Because you got to the Biographical Questions section? haha I was pretty close myself.

I'd say just not submit the secondary because it will automatically cancel your application if the time runs out on the timer. The only reason I would call and cancel is if you wanted to apply there in the future (next cycle, etc.), just to be safe.

Same here. I dont want to do the essay part...

i was in a similar situation last year, and wasnt able to fill out the essay, and the time just expired.

you guys think that would count against my admissions this time as well?
i havnt filled out the secondary either yet, and am still debating

What's the time limit?

 

[calid]

what do you have to do for the UCSF secondary?

 

[kies89]

time limit is i think 2 weeks from the day you received your secondary

actually the reason for not doing secondary is the pre-req part haha
i am about to graduate after fall but already filled with 4 science classes
i took one biochem but i dont think UCSF will give credit for that class, which means i have to take two 3units of biochem classes in the future.. but i dont know when to take blabhalblah

and honestly i dont think i get a chance there lol

If you want to go to UCSF then it might be worth it to take those biochem classes. You could always call them up and ask them. I only had to take 1 biochem class but my university was on a semester system. Plus what do you have going on in the spring that will prevent you from extending your schooling a bit? I know you want to get it over with but I didn't think I'd have a chance and I start in less than 6 weeks!

well, if i have a shot i will take biochem classes but i have below average gpa (3.1)
and just average DAT (21) so i guess i do not really have a shot

so for ucsf you have to have 4 credits of biochem meaning

biochem and a lab?

or do you have to take biochem 1 and 2?
