Hi will people post the secondaries that are relatively easy. I am working and going to school full time. I have the money to blow on a lot of schools but not the time filling out these ridiculous applications.

I heard Stanfords is really hard and Boston U is a piece of cake, just money and a picture. Any other experiences. In easy I mean, minimum essays

I'd add Wright State Univ.
MCO wants 1 essay, CWRU 1 essay, Penn State secondary two very short responses, U.Mich 1 essay, Harvard nothing in the way of an essay.

Here is a list of easy secondaries-
Einstein (unless you're out school, you have to write an essay)
Jefferson
NYMC
Penn
Penn State

 

[Szkwicz]

MCW just has a form to run through--no essay at all. It took me about 15 minutes.
Does anyone know about the Loyola secondary?

 

[Ai]

UCSF is really easy too.

Hey Resident Alien,

When did you get the Harvard secondary? I designated them about a month ago and havent gotten any correspondence from them at all. I'm not verified yet though - I should be by Nov 1 if AMCAS can be believed.

 

[SMW]

Mayo, like Boston, all they want is money.

Loyola has six short-essay questions - I wouldn't exactly call it easy, depending on what you choose to write about.

to the OP,
are you seriously going to pick the place you live for the next 4+ years (and the place you're going to give $200,000) by the length of their secondary? Actually, on second thought, that sounds about as rational as my school choices. 😀

 

[drdrtoledo]

I am sorry but UMDNJ-RWJ has the poorest excuse for a secondary! It wasn't even a full sheet of paper. It was pink index card where you wrote you name & SS#... THAT's IT!-And don't forget the check!

Hey there

Yes, i am going to pick the school i will be at for the next four years based on their secondary. Med school is med school. I dont see a huge difference between them. My goal is to be a competent doctor and all schools are no more or less capable of doing that. Otherwise, they wouldnt be in business 🙂

Thanks so much everyone for all the posts. Wow, I didnt know there were so many easy secondaries out there. I will add some schools to AMCAS. Think it's too late??

 

[SMW]

No, it's not too late. Tulane, Tufts, MCP Hahnemann, and U. of Washington should be added to the list. George Washington's is also pretty straightforward, although there are a couple of tricky, but short questions. Same with Johns Hopkins -- several short, but thought requiring questions. So the list is now:

Boston U
Finch-CMS
UAB
USA
Albany
Vermont
Temple
Creighton
Jefferson
NYMC
Penn
Penn State
MCW
UCSF
Mayo
Rochester
SLU
CWRU
Iowa
UMDNJ-RWJ
Tulane
Tufts
MCP Hahnemann
U. of Washington
George Washington
Johns Hopkins

 

[none]

Easy is defined as no essays, somewhat easy as one under 250 word essay, IMHO. 🙂
