U Dub has now put their secondary on-line. Beware! Pages and pages of instuctions and forms! (But not that much writing, unless your AMCAS Personal Satement did not cover "the origin and development of your motivation to become a physician," in which case you have to write a supplemental autobiography, in addition to 200 words on "Why UWSOM?" Here's the link: http://rainier.dom.washington.edu/admiss/supplem1.htm
Here's the full text of their e-mail, if you're interested.
TRANSITIONAL APPLICATION TO THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
We have been notified of your intention to apply to the University of Washington School of Medicine for the entering class of 2002. Thank you for your interest in our program. The Office of Admissions will do everything possible to ensure that your application is processed quickly and accurately.
Undoubtedly you have been made aware of the problems occurring with the new on-line AMCAS application. In order to ensure the prompt evaluation of your preliminary file, we would like to ask you to do the following:
1.) COMPLETE AND SUBMIT YOUR AMCAS APPLICATION THROUGH THE WEBSITE.
http://www.aamc.org/students/amcas/application.htm
Eventually the difficulties with the new system will be resolved. As has been the case for many years, it will be very important for you to have completed your application through the American Medical College Application Service by November 1, 2001. So, if you have not already done so, make every attempt to submit your application to AMCAS as soon as possible. It is not necessary that you receive confirmation of receipt of your application by AMCAS before proceeding as follows:
2.) PRINT THE APPLICATION you submitted to AMCAS for your personal records. Make a copy of the application and send it directly to the UWSOM admissions office
Office of Admissions
A-300 Health Sciences Center
University of Washington
Box 356340
Seattle, WA 98195-6340
Printing: To print your AMCAS application, it is probably best to access the application using Internet Explorer, version 5.5. Applicants using other browsers have reported difficulties. Once you access your application, select ?Print Application? from the menu along the side of the screen. This will cause a window to pop up, showing your application. (Note: This ?pop up? may happen very slowly, with a time indicator to show progress.) After the application has been uploaded completely, you can print it by using either the print icon or the ?File Print? command, making sure to indicate that
you want ?all? forms to print.
Appearance: There may be no paragraph structure in your AMCAS essay, and some other parts of the application may appear to be organized incorrectly.Do not be concerned; the appearance of this document will have no impact on the reading or evaluation of your application. The information in your printed AMCAS application will be reviewed in the
same manner as it would be if transmitted to us electronically by AMCAS.
3.) MCAT SCORES LETTER. Along with your printed AMCAS application, you must include a letter informing us of your MCAT dates and scores (VerbalReasoning, Biological Sciences, Physical Sciences and the Writing Sample
should be individually listed for each test taken within the past 3 years. Do not add or average scores, please.). Official MCAT information will be confirmed after we receive your AMCAS application electronically. In the interim, we will use the scores you provide to begin the application review process.
4.) SUBMIT THE UWSOM SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATION. You should also send to this office a copy of your supplemental application. This document and instructions on how to fill it out can be found at:
http://rainier.dom.washington.edu/admiss/supplem1.htm
After you complete the supplemental, print it and make a copy. Mail the copy, with a check or money order to cover the $35 application fee, to this office. The instructions for completing the supplemental also outline the
UWSOM?s requirements for letters of recommendation. You should have these
letters sent directly to this office by the writers.
Please read all the instructions on the supplemental website carefully
to ensure that you understand what comprises a complete application. We will begin processing your application as soon as the copy of the AMCAS application, all the items of the UWSOM supplemental application and your MCAT score letter are received. We anticipate that AMCAS will confirm your MCAT scores and course grades, as they have done in the past. At this time, therefore, we are not requesting an official transcript or
MCAT score report. In the event that AMCAS is unable to perform these functions, we may, at a future date, request you to secure these items for transmittal to us.
No applicant will be invited to visit our campus for the purpose of an interview until the above instructions have been fulfilled.
INFORMATION ON THE MEDICAL SCIENTIST TRAINING PROGRAM PROCEDURES
We want all applicants to be aware of our combined M.D.-Ph.D. Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP). If you are interested in a career in medical research, we invite you to read about the MSTP at:
http://www.pathology.washington.edu/~mstp/
Approximately 12 students are admitted to this program each year from all parts of the country. Most successful candidates have extensive research experience. Because of support by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), all MSTP students receive stipends and tuition support for the duration of their enrollment in the program. If you are interested, please submit the preliminary application form, which can be found at:
http://rainier.dom.washington.edu/admiss/mstform.htm
The application process, especially for the MSTP, is lengthy. Be aware that the deadline for all supplemental materials is January 15, 2002.
Unfortunately, the University of Washington is unable to refund fees for incomplete applications. Please feel free to contact Patricia T. Fero, Admissions Officer, at (206) 543-7212 or [email protected] with questions about the M.D. program. For questions about the M.D./Ph.D. Program (MSTP), contact Maureen Levell at (206) 685-0762 or [email protected].
Thank you again for your interest in the University of Washington Schoo of Medicine. If you have any questions concerning your application, please contact the office by writing to [email protected]
