Would it be possible to add an option that says "Waiting in Limbo Hell"...I know that there are a bunch of us that submitted AMCAS weeks ago, but the verification process is keeping us from starting secondaries...

you should start to receive a few secondaries even before verification.....watch that inbox!!

i think you qualify for the 2nd category: submitted amcas but havent done anything else yet.

if you'd like to be relieved from your limbo hell, here: =)

I'm done with about 50% of my secondaries. But I'm done with all of the ones available except UMD.

Of all the skewed SDN polls, I think this one might be skewed the most when compared with the normal med school applicant pool.

 

[Dulcina]

heh, probably. i guess we'll just compare within our limited SDN-world, knowing that we arent a representative pop.

Yea... I've definitely talked to some people who said "the deadline is in October, isn't it?"

I encouraged them to apply earlier.

I was explaining rolling admissions to him, and he didnt seem to care so i just stopped.

I submitted my AMCAS to a bunch of schools and I haven't received any pre-verification secondaries.. I even applied to schools that traditionally send you a secondary about an hour after your submit you primary (like WashU). What should I do?

well thankfully I got to reuse some of the essays for these, I also prewrote 3 of them....from there it was just writing one more essay and filling in the usual BS.

when did you submit your amcas? it took WashU 2 days to send me the secondary. maybe they're just swamped.

well damn i'm jealous. I'm prewriting the super-easy essays, like "what did you do after graduation", but I've been too nervous to prewrite the harder ones. Hopefully I'll get up the nerve to tackle those soon.

bumpity bump bump a-bumparoo

I am also having hard time working on the hard secondary (you know the one that asks for reflection etc). Since I spend way too much time on the primary essays, I can not pull myself to do quick turn around without like 25 rounds of polishing. Anyhow, I will start next weekend.
