Help! Who else ISN'T getting secondaries?

Can anyone let me know if I should be concerned about not getting a secondary yet from:

Tufts
Drexel
Chicago Med
Mount Sinai
Jefferson
BU

I don't see why I would not get a letter or email from each of these schools, has anyone else not received anything yet?

Does anyone have a link to the Mount Sinai app at least (I heard this was online for everyone to do).

Who do you think I should call and bother?

Thanks,
Kevin

I believe Jefferson came to me about 2 weeks ago or so and BU about 1 week ago, but seriously there is no need for concern. Even for schools that don't screen, it takes them time to prepare mailings or to send out a simple email, so hang in there.

I've received from BU a week ago, tufts 2 weeks ago and chicaco 2 weeks ago. AMCAS was transmitted around 7/15. If I were you I'd call the schools to make sure they have your AMCAS app, but maybe give it another week.

Sinai.

Not sure if you mean University of Chicago-Pritzker, but here is that one.

I never got an e-mail or letter from Sinai, but I got my Pritzker e-mail really early. Check your mail from 2-3 weeks ago and/or make sure nothing is going to some sort of bulk mail folder.

I think someone posted a reply about having called the Sinai admissions office. The lady said that the online app was really old, and that they would be sending out an e-mail with the real application link soon. If you are really worried about it, I would suggest calling Sinai and any other schools about it.

I'm waiting until they send me an e-mail to do the Mt. Sinai one.

Tufts and BU arrived in the mail for me today. You don't have to worry about doing them though. BU just has you mail back a $100 check and an optional picture. Tufts has you send back a copy of your AMCAS and quick, essayless secondary which takes no time, unless you write the paragraph on if you have any particular reason for applying Tufts; but it says in the instructions that the answer for the overwhelming majority of students is that they have no particular reason, so there's no point in BS'ing them if you don't have a real compelling reason. After all the rambling, the end point is don't worry about it cause it will take no time to finish once those two come in. 🙂

The instructions for the Sinai secondary talk about the entering class of 2004, so I think that it's fine now.
