Members don't see this ad.

I guess they are opening up the secondary in small batches then. I still have nothing

 

[boardwalk girl]

It appears only one person replied on this thread that they got it. Anyone else?

Received and submitted.

how much did you write for the interest in a specific field ? or did you just list it

 

[db4277]

Small batches is probably advantageous on their end. If they sent them out all at once they'd probably receive them all at once.

 

[pink/\floyd]

I listed..

[Awesome Sauceome]

I finally received it. Honestly, with a couple interviews lined up, I dont know if I even want to submit it now... I dont think I will.

 

[addieu345]

You have a good shot. As always, apply early to increase your chances.

I just received the secondary today, and I prewrote my responses. So I will have it submitted very shortly!!

 

[deleted436726]

Got the secondary this morning.

 

[Awesome Sauceome]

Is anyone else having an error on their additional information screen? Every time I try and submit it it says there is some error and then when I go back it says my additional info is filled out, but there is nothing saved, its really weird.

 

[db4277]

Got the secondary this morning.

Ditto!

 

[stickshifthonda]

Just received- will fill it out tonight!

 

[Awesome Sauceome]

Nvm, I ended up trying to submit again today and had no problem.

 

[AlteredScale]

This program looks pretty stellar. Strong clinical affiliations!

 

[stickshifthonda]

Submitted!

 

[deleted436726]

Submitted!

+1 and app complete email received.

Do you think ill be fine without doing the optional essay? 3.98s/3.93c 29 MCAT IS

 

[gladlyfocused]

This is going to be an out of subject question 🙂

Does RowanSOM have mandatory attendance?

 

[stickshifthonda]

I didn't do it... no point in stretching if I had a hardship or obstacle to overcome when compared to other people's I didn't.

 

[Dajaleymon Kiwi]

Recieved, Submitted, Completed

Now we wait...

I do not believe so (though I am not 100% sure). One of the students on my tour mentioned some classes being more important to attend than others.

 

[dedicated1989]

I like half pre-completed it but now Im wishing I did it fully because I feel like I keep changing things around and delaying this even further….BAHHH

[TheMCATsMeow]

Did you all explain your choice(s) for the question that asks for your specialty interest? You get 500 characters but it says to just identify and not describe.

I wrote a couple sentences about why I like a specific specialty, but it is by no means an essay or anywhere near 500 characters.

When I went to a open house Ms. Watkins stressed that even though its optional, its not really optional….

I'm doing it only because she made a point to say that .

 

[uvrsol]

submitted!

 

[stickshifthonda]

How is a hardship essay not optional? It makes you look like an dingus if you pretend some little obstacle was a huge hardship. That's not the place for a diversity essay either.

Lol, damn. Only wrote a short 85ish word response. Oh well :/

Not trying to attack you- just doesn't seem right. If they don't like that I skipped it, fine, It obviously wasn't meant to be!

yeah I mean I get what you're saying and I completely agree that you shouldn't just write something to write it. Luckily I had something to talk about, not sure of how much it is a challenge compared to other people, but it was a "personal" challenge.

Best of luck to you!

 

[jimmygnecco]

Let us all know if any of you get II and when you submitted with stats please 🙂

This essay should really be rephrased differently. It seems that they want us to write it but maybe it isn't really a hardship essay and more of a what challenges have you face personally type of essay.

Yeh! They should be starting to review and starting interviews soon now. Please post if II given.

Under the "status" tab, I see that I'm incomplete under the Letters of Recommendation section. When I click on it however, it says that my virtual eval has been received. Its the packet with my DO letter and pre-health committee letter. Anyone else in a similar position?

I did just submit my secondary today. Maybe I need to wait a bit for it to update?

I came to ask the same question... I'm glad all of you are in the same situation. Looks like there's no need to worry then!
