Is anyone else still waiting on the Duke secondary, or is it just me?

Members don't see this ad.
 
Nope...same deal...AMCAS processed and verified 6/18. :confused:
 
Members don't see this ad :)
Me neither. AMCAS processed late June. Boo!
 
me 4... maybe they're going in reverse order by day processed? i was processed 6/23.
 
count me in - processed 6/19. between duke and case, the waiting is driving me insane!!!!!! :eek:
 
sucks for you guys...I submitted 7/26 and was verified on 8/5...my last name ends in "B", so perhaps it's just an alphabetical artifact. Believe me, the application is a bear...Duke doesn't have rolling admissions though, correct? It shouldn't be a problem.

Best of luck to you guys...I hope it arrives soon!
 
yeah, i think my fingers are growing little callouses from typing in my email id and password waiting for the duke secondary. I was verified almost a month ago. I really don't know what's going on. People have said that they got the secondary without even being verified...now that pisses me off. It's all good though, my mandatory anger management classes are really helping me deal with my application anxiety.
 
im still waiting too, verified in mid-june. but my last name is late in the alphabet

I was verified on 8/4/04 and i received the secondary on 8/9, my last name starts with an S. Everyone gets a secondary, so I don't know what the damn problem is. Here are the essays if this helps.

The scientific and popular news media have heralded several "life-extending" and ?life-altering? technologies--among which are embryonic stem-cell research, cloning, genetic intervention, and organ transplantation. While such technologies represent remarkable developments and applications of our emerging scientific understanding, these technologies raise critical issues with respect to the ethics, morality and economics of these technologies. Identify some of the critical issues evoked by such technologies and address what potential moral, theological, and ethical questions might arise from the decisions made regarding developing and using these technologies in the care of patients.

my last name is early in the alphabet too and I got my secondary invite like a wk after I submitted AMCAS. I submitted amcas on 7/27. If I was you I would go to their site and see if your amcas works when you log-in. Im fairly certain they dont screen..see my last posts on this topic for the reasons why

did it work? anywho..they are downloading the apps in reverse order so the earlier you were processed, the later you'll get the secondary...

:oops:

rumor has it that they are going backwards with AMCAS verification. The earlier your AMCAS was processed, the later you'll get their secondary.
