haha i just got so excited (since everyday my parents are like, "hear from harvard yet?") and then i checked my email and NOTHING except an email from my lab supervisor giving me more crap to do. i want the harvard email to spice up my life! im getting bored haha 😛
Lol i think you expressed earlier that you didnt find secondaries necessarily fun but you denied it as "fun" but more so as you need something to puncture the silence from the secondary front. Just admit it Erina, you have fun with it 🙂

They certainly aren't nearly as bad as I had envisioned prior to starting this process. I can see where someone would have fun with it...and occasionally I slip over to that mindset myself.

Erina, did you receive a confirmation email from Pittsburgh after submitting their secondary? I was assuming they would send one, despite the confirmation on their website.
 
Help me robizzle! I just submitted my SUNY Upstate app, and I lost the signature page. Does anyone know how I can obtain another one?

Thanks

I think the fun for me comes from the excitement of finally taking this step to apply to medical school--like this is REALLY happening! And I don't recall getting an email from Pitt after submitting. If I do find one, I'll let you know, but after quickly looking back through my email I don't see anything.
 
Um, so, I'm a little awe-struck at the moment. For those applying to Harrrrrvard... if you're just applying to the plain old MD program... the "new pathway," if you will, there are no essays... am I correct?

I think I am. Dude.

I didn't get one, next thing I got was an invite to interview

Thanks. I'm playing with them to see what I like. Hard to find good ones of cute brunettes that fit. 🙂

Good luck with Harvard kids!! 🙂

you're right...don't you love how anxious we've all become? :laugh:
 
Hey, is the Harvard secondary being sent only to those who have a verified AMCAS? Just wondering if I should be expecting it...
 
So are you guys sending the Harvard app. right away, even though it's a rolling admissions deal??!!

....Haaaahvahd, eeek!
 
Who else received secondary from UNC? If you applied to unc and got verified by AMCAS and did not get a secondary, please tell us. Going crazy here.

I know. I'm a little creeped out at the power the H has over me... I need to step away...

Congrats to all the kids applying to Harvard...I wasn't up to that myself, but good luck!

Q: "Isn't Stanford the Harvard of the West?"
A: "East, West, North, South, there is only ONE Harrrrvard."

That's from Saved by the Bell! Wasn't it Stansbury though?

This wasn't addressed to me, but I didn't receive a Pitt confirmation either. I just got an e-mail for the interview invite.
 
jackieMD2007 said:
Sev, I think you should get into Harvard. That would be so f-ing clutch after all of your application cycles. SDN would long tell of your journey! 👍

Ha, I like the way you think Jackie. Truth be told, getting into any "top 10" would be pretty f-in clutch right about now, though I must admit that being on Haaaaahhhhvaaaahhhd's "good ladder" would make me break out into fits of bad dancin'.
 
Looque said:
I just got the email, too (4:40pm EST). Any idea if they screen? I haven't looked into it.
According to the MSAR harvard does not screen.

No essays or even short answers. You can't take any time to really make yourself stand out. 😱

there is an essay for the HST program, and extra MD/PhD stuff, I think...I just browsed through it, though, so I'm not sure.

its called AMCAS.
 
If I was applying to Harvard I would be interested in New Pathway....
 
I sent in my application last night and today I got the email from the MSW, but it was not the secondary it was just an email saying that they have recived my MCAT scores released by AAMC, and to contact them If I have any questions..?
 
What? No list lately? I had to go back 2 pages to find the most recent list!

J/K Thanks to all you guys who are doing those lists! You guys are very helpful!!
 
...which means bad news for me.

Neucom (northeastern in ohio), pretty much rejected me via snail mail today. They stated that their "screen" consisted of looking over EVERY ohio application, and they will get back to me and other out of staters in late february. i guess i just saved myself a whole wad of cash 👎

Jackie the list is huuuge now! Have you done a count? You think we're like 3/4 of the way to all the schools?
 
So does anybody know anything about Tufts? I feel like it came out much earlier last year. And what about Rosalind Franklin? Any idea when those might be coming out?
 
Has everyone gotten the northwestern secondary? I didn't think they screened but I haven't receieved it yet. Not like I want it right now, already got a few that I need to finish. Just curious....

Hay Rob. We're more like 1/2 way there. About 60+ schools on the email secondary list. 😀

I have no ****ing clue what to answer for that. Like you said, I can't figure out if it's optional or not. Maybe someone else has an idea?

I haven't gotten Northwestern yet either.

Hey, yeah, I was emailed access to the secondary application just yesterday. There are three essays (the third of which has three options to choose from), and they give you a strict two week deadline for submission. For receiving your letters of recommendation, you have three weeks.

Ok someone on here has done this, ideas please. I did a search.
Someone said they called (years ago) and BU told they traditional applicants may not have anything to put.
I searched by just typing in the first few words of the question and I got maybe 6 results.
 
did not get it yet bro but it will come, it will
 
I received an acknowledgement from University of Utah on 7/18 which said they will be sending me a secondary sometime in August.

No thoughts on this question at all? In memory of Dr. E 😴 😴
 
I won a spelling bee. I think I would put that if I was applying to BU. No $hit. Seriously.

I give up.... :laugh:
I thought this BU secondary was supposed to be so much better than last year's. How about a secondary that makes sense BU. 👎
 
I went to Montessori School. I learned to think outside the box.
I am an awesome speller.
I totally won the Jr High Science fair.
I know, all y'all jealous. It's cool. :laugh:
 
This sucks... no Northwestern or Boston for me yet

I'm going to withdraw from University of Vermont, but I never got that e-mail either...

Oh well, I guess I'll be a nerd and start doing the Northwestern essays anyway

g/l all 😎
