I am really freaking out that I haven't received my secondary from Wright State(I went there for undergrad!!)....Did all you guys that have received it, get verified by AMCAS in mid-June??? 😕
 
hmmm - I went to that Case site that the link's been floating around for, and it says that they were unable to retrieve a password for me.

Have I been screened out? 😱 😕 Or are they just late in downloading my app

hey everybody, we may be meeting each other soon! i'm an undergrad at wright state, and word on the street is that interviews will start in august this year. i just looked at my calender and said "holy crap, its august!" i'm pretty sure osu does early interviews as well.

keep this thread alive, or we will be buried under the yearly SDN mudslide of texas/cali threads :laugh:

luck to all 👍

Does anyone know when the official email invites from Case usually go out? I logged onto their website already and my infos there but I've been hesitating to work on it cos I haven't received the go ahead yet. Has anyone submitted it yet?
 
i submitted case's secondary without the invite. i'm pretty sure that there's several others on SDN who did the same.

i realize that its stupid of me to submit without contacting the school to make sure its ok, but at this point, i don't really care.

Seriously, keep this attitude, modify it with a touch of sarcasm, and a dab of jadedness, and you should go far in this world. 😀 👍 😉
 
Just got a call from Wright State to set up an interview. Has anyone else gotten an interview, and if so, what day did you schedule? I scheduled mine for 9/21.
 
Apparently OH State will begin reviewing applications next week, and they should be scheduling interviews in the next few weeks.

Still no email from Case, and trying to retrieve my password, etc doesn't work.

*Waiting patiently*

I scheduled mine for one week from Wednesday- that was the first available date

Was that the earliest they had available?

Is your app complete already?

I already know my LORs won't be in probably till September.

Congrats!!!!
 
My app for WSU was complete on 7/27.

The earliest interview date they offered was 8/25, but I had to postpone to 9/21 b/c my coop quarter isn't over until 9/17.

Remember, Case has been telling some SDNers that they are only sending out 50 secondaries a day. Stay calm. You'll get one soon; they don't screen.

For all you that have received the Case Secondary, I was just wondering what sort of topics will you be talking about in their first essay question.I freaked out when I saw that the limit is 7,000 characters(2pages!) and they want you to talk about a non-medical experience....
 
wright state has started to issue interviews. i'll be there 8/25 (well, *technically* i'm there everyday, but i meant in an interviewing sense 😀 ).

g'luck everybody

edit**** oops, i didn't realize that was old news....see you on the 25th, triple degree!!!
 
by the way, if anyone has any questions about wright state, please feel free to PM me or post them on this thread (whatever you feel is more appropriate for the question 😉 ).

ohio rules!!! (um, kinda... :laugh: )

I talked about my coop experience and how it has been beneficial to me professionally. I did think the essay prompt was tough b/c it was so open ended...

Oh, I'm calm. 🙂 I just want to finish all my secondaries by the end of the summer so that I can concentrate on other stuff. 😉

Thanks for the kindness, though. 👍
 
bumping for any recent Ohio school news.

As for me, I've completed all of my Ohio school apps! Woohoo! 🙂 ... but so many more to go... 🙁

my ohio state interview is scheduled for 9/15. i found this by checking the status page on their website. cool, but i'll prolly have to push the date back to the following week.

Yo all.

Submitted Secondaries:

UC
OSU
WSU

Recieved secondary (by email):

Case

I haven't submitted case yet because the essays are pretty long and I'm getting help from friends working on them. These essays can really be frustrating! ARGGGG!!! On the other hand, they also really make me dig deep in introspection to help me understand why I really want to be a doctor.

Peace in the Middle of America

Thats awesome! I just checked my status page - nothing there 🙁

When were you complete? Did you have all your LORs in way ahead of schedule?

ALL the best

well, the reason i was checking my status page in the first place is because i was waiting for my LORs to show up as received. on friday, my status page finally said that my letters were in (they ought to be--they were sent from DAYTON ohio 3 weeks ago 🙄 ), and my application status had been changed to "interview invitation".

they automatically assign you a date. i'd like to go on 9/15 (i'm assuming this is the first day of interviews), but its the day after my UPitt interview, meaning that i'd have to live out of a suitcase for ~3 days and miss lots o' class. there's a place on the page that you can click that says "please re-schedule my interview" but i don't know what will happen if i click it! i may get an even worse date! :laugh: i'm calling them monday morning to see what can be done.

much luck, everybody.

Well SD, that makes me feel better, coz my LOR's were just mailed out about a week ago. So by your metric, I shouldn't expect an interview invite for perhaps the next 2 weeks......

BTW, I spoke to UC, and they told me that interview invites would be issued in mid-September, they are still working on EDP stuff.
 
fyi, TripleDegree: EVERY LOR that goes to osu is processed by the SAME office. what do i mean by "EVERY"? LORs for law school, pharm school, grad school, business school, vet school, dental school, med school, etc. ALL go to one place--so don't hold your breath for them to update your status page! :laugh:

that's weird about UC not issuing interviews unitl mid-sept. historically, they've started accepting people on oct 15, so starting to issue interview invites in mid-sept. seems odd to me. oh well, whatever will be, will be...

Tell me about it!! That LOR office drives me nuts!!! First they can't find them, then they're found, then they're given the wrong label (personal instead of academic). 🙄

Yeah, I haven't heard anything from UC. *fingers crossed*

Aannnnnnd, nothing from Case. Are they screened? I'm beginning to wonder.... :laugh:
 
EvoDevo,

so you haven't gotten the secondary email from case yet? if not, have you tried the whole "SDN-password-request" trick? that's what i did, and it worked just fine. i would suggest you do that to, as i am 99% sure they don't screen.

p.s.: it took case even longer to process my LORs than OSU!! 😱

what, where you enter your ssn and amcas ID? That doesn't work for me.....

Hrm, I wonder if they never rec'd my info from AMCAS (they were a later add-on). :idea:

hmmm, how strange. when did you add them to your AMCAS? if it was more than 2 weeks ago, it might be best to call them and ruffle some feathers. anyway, the two essay questions are posted on several threads in the pre-allo forum, so you could take a look and work on them if you'd like. if you can't find them, PM me and i'll send the prompts to you on sunday. they're not that bad, provided you've got some research experience.

good luck, and keep us posted on everything!
