I have not gotten an email from DMU, but if you go to their website you can create an account and fill out a secondary....is that a good idea? Or do I wait for the official go ahead? And by that I mean fill it out now and just submit when I get the email....

You should just wait for the invite.

Anyone doing the LECOM-Erie secondary, am I the only one who finds it odd that they ask for SAT/ACT scores? I honestly can't remember how good or bad my scores are and am curious how much they'll matter in the application process. Like I literally have no idea what a 1860 or 28 mean anymore, lol.

I think a 28 ACT is a lot like a 28 MCAT lol
 
so what schools have sent out secondaries? I have lecom, nova, ccom, ouhcom, kcom, cucom
 
Are LECOM, NOVA, KCOM, and OUHCOM's secondary questions exactly the same as last year's or are there differences?
 
Should we see some movement in the secondaries being sent out now that July is here? I think I had 5 available in June. 15 more to go!
 
dang...I still haven't received a secondary from LECOM. Anyone else who has applied there still not received there's yet?

Received and submitted LECOM-E, but have heard nothing from LECOM-B.... they are so confusing as to whether we are allowed to just submit both of them

My secondary for Bradenton was available under the link even though I only got one email. Did you try to access it? The link is under the one for Erie.
 
I got touro CA and touro NV today
 
The essay says "limit to 500 words"... I have 300...is this enough or do I need to say more? I don't want to short change but I don't want to go too far either that they don't actually read what I wrote.

I wrote ~250. I think that should be enough.
 
Anyone have problems paying the fee for KCOM app??
 
Has anyone gotten secondaries from AT Still in Mesa yet? Also is anyone having problems filling Marian University's secondary? I can't click on the bullets or paragraphs for some reason? Any insight on this?
 
On the Touro app the references are not the same as the letters of recommendation people, are they? There are only 2 spots and they want 3 letters...
 
The Midwesterns want an updated resume along with some other schools. My question is, for the College extracurriculars activities/ honors/ leadership responsibilities did we just list them or do they want dates corresponding with each activity, honor, and leader ship role. i am asking because much of this i have already put into the primary with dates included. do we have to include dates again for the resume? as of now, i have just listed the activities. !?!??!
 
Is anyone else in secondary hell?

My brain is now mush, and I can't churn out anymore for today.

Probably references like people they can contact...like when you're applying for a job

Yes! I did 10 of them yesterday, ugh. And they keep rolling in! Granted I knew this was coming when I applied to a crap ton of schools but still. Not fun!
 
I applied to just Virginia, but it just a generic vcom secondary that has you select a campus. I received it at like 20 til 5 today so maybe they just didnt get to everyone before 5
 
Why can't all secondaries be like lecom or nsu.... I have 8 more secondaries to go for now I will try to pump them all out in 2 weeks or less.
 
How many secondaries are you guys going to complete?

Are you guys going to complete every secondary that you receive?
 
does Rowan screen for secondary? i receive mine this afternoon on July 4th.

Of the 12 schools I applied to, I received 9 secondaries so far.

I submitted 5, one is waiting for fee-waiver confirmation, and working on one right now. I still have two more to fill out and submit, hopefully by Monday.

If I receive the three remaining secondaries next week, I'm expecting to have them filled out and submitted by the following Monday.

I truly hope that by 7/15 all of my secondaries are submitted, so I can focus on getting back in shape (physically) for the interviews.

Yea...5 essays I think. It's a beast. Also just realized they require biochem AND genetics. quite cocky for a lower stat DO program.

do they still have specific LOR forms that you'll have to give to the writers?

oh IDK about that. I took one look at the app and put it off to the side for now. I have some allopathic apps and some instate DO's I'm putting at the top of my priorities right now. If indeed they do have anything else that requires hoop jumping I'll just withdraw. I have a committee at my university that does virtualeval. If that isn't good enough for them, bump em.
 
Still nothing from the LECOMs for me.

Think I should call them?

My primary has been verified for a while--but my MCAT scores were just updated this past Tuesday.

Still no MSU for me. I thought they were sending it out to everybody who applied to their school this year.
 
Can anyone provide a list of schools that have secondaries/secondary app "Portals" on their website avail to everyone? I already have rowan and LMU. Kinda wanted to get started on these account things. Still waiting on the invites/pins for like NSU. Thanks! Good luck everyone!
 
I'm fed up with doing secondaries already. I submitted 7, one is almost ready for submission, one is still waiting for me to work on, and 3 more to receive.

I have no idea how people handle 20+ secondaries, especially those MD ones with 10+ questions.
