[Severus]

Re: Vandy

now wait, is that the e-mail confirmation of AMCAS receipt or is this another verification e-mail that I might have missed?

 

[Guile]

I got it- my stats are 38/3.7

And when was your AMCAS verified?

Funny story of the day:

I went to my mailbox and saw that there was a large, thick envelope from IUC College of Medicine today. Crazy thoughts ran through my head...like, "maybe they loved my app and essays so much they want me to switch to EDP", or "wow, they are sending me finacial aid junk already! This is a good sign!" All rediculously crazy ideas, but hey, how often do you get a large envelope in the mail from a medical school?
So I ran up the stairs to my wife and showed her, she was equally excited. I opened the envelope and.............it was my secondary I had sent last week!!!! I had inadvertently forgot to put the check I wrote out into the envelope I had sent them so they sent me the whole thing back!!!! I am an idiot...and man did this whole thing get my false hopes up.

Well I hope you get a laugh out of my stupid story of the day
.....man...

I didn't keep track of the exact date (is there a way to check it?) but it was the last week of june (26th, 27th?).

I got a UPitt envelope and was so excited and then it turned out to be the insurance company (UPMC insurance, you see) bitching at me for not paying my son's doctor bill. 👎 Downer x 2

Can someone explain this a little more for me...if some schools have the "Secondaries available for viewing on Med School's website" does that mean they just expect us to go to their website for it...or will they tell us to find it there?

 

[NoktorNoL]

I know some people have gotten the secondary from NW but I submitted my AMCAS app on June 5th and was verified shortly after, but I haven't heard anything yet....do other people have a similar problem (if it is even a problem...)??

For a few examples of my experiences thus far, I submitted my AMCAS to Johns Hopkins, Yale, and Tulane (among other places), which are all schools that supply their secondary via their website freely for anyone. I received a snail-mail letter from Johns Hopkins that invited me to fill out this application, whereas I (to this point) have not received similar letters or emails from Yale or Tulane. Of course, I've only been verified on AMCAS for a week now, so that could play a part in the absence of a Yale or Tulane letter.

UPenn also supplies their application through their website, but I don't recall if I needed to be granted access or if it was just available for anyone. Either way, they sent an email and a snail-mail letter inviting me to apply.

Dont worry Noktor. I submitted mine about 2 weeks after you and I still haven't gotten my secondary yet. One of my friends submitted it 2 days after you and he hasn't gotten it either. It could be that they are rolling secondaries by last name because both of our last names come later in the alphabet.

i think we've collectively determined that they are going in alphabetical order, as far as creating the account to complete the secondary. we'll see though. what's the first letter of your last name?

 

[redair]

Did anybody get the VCU status update yesterday about how they want to consider your file further etc etc. ??? I got it what does it mean???

bahhh i didn't get it lucky u! sounds like maybe they want an interview. 😀

 

[redair]

Not really, Just a second I get show you exactly what it said.

 

[redair]

This is what it said.

The committee's file review indicates that they would like to consider your file further. We are now in the process of scheduling interviews and will continue to do so through February. Unfortunately, the committee indicates interest in far more candidates than we are able to interview. Since we are dependent on the Committee member's schedules for interview spaces, we are unable to predict when or if we will be able to schedule you this year. Please continue to check this site to learn when further action has been taken.

Pretty vauge!!!

 

[DrVanNostran]

From last years messages, it looks like you will be gettin an interview, good luck!

 

[Robizzle]

lol its as if they're sayin "wooo we like u so u can have a interview" and then a second later sayin "but dont get your hopes up just yet"

 

[DrVanNostran]

Rob--do we need to send a transcript to upstate for our application to be considered complete?

LSU School of Medicine at Shreveport finally made its secondary available last Monday, July 24. I'm going for early decision, so that meant I had to rush to get it in by the August 1 (my b-day) deadline.

I go to school in New Orleans, and all New Orleans schools had summer semesters. The week of the 24th was my finals week, but I'm glad to say that I got everything turned in ahead of time.

Did you get Northwestern yet? I don't have it yet. A lot of us don't have it. I wonder if only New Pathway got it.

And where the F is Rosalind Franklin? I want to get my secondaries DONE and be all set...

Hey, I got NU on the 25th and turned it in last night. It wasnt that bad. I think they are sending it out alphabetically? RFU, Loyola,Drexel, Albany, and MUO are the main ones that Im waiting for.

I am getting confused with the "complete" process....I need to call some schools on monday.

I believe Rosalind Franklin is in the northern Chicago suburbs. As for Northwestern, I only checked "regular MD" on my AMCAS for that school, although on their secondary, I'm noting my interest in a couple of their master's programs. The secondary came in a couple business days after I was verified.

It could be alphabetical; I'm a "B."

Yeah, it seems like there are a lot of things that can happen between submitted and file complete--human error (misfiles and stuff), electronic error (incomplete information from AMCAS or VirtualEval/Interfolio) and plain old Murphy's Law. Monday is a good day to call because the schools that want callers have designated times on Monday.

I didn't mean WHERE is it geographically (although I have been known to be geographically challenged....heh) I meant where is my secondary? I know they haven't sent any out.

RFU is kind of in an interesting locale actually.

NYMC, SUNY upstate, and possibly loyola will be gettin a call from on monday 😉

Ha... my bad. A friend of mine just finished his first week of classes at RFU; they start pretty darn early (like Emory).

I haven't heard anything from my home-state crew at the University of Missouri yet. Does anyone know if there's been any action from them?

You didn't get the email to pay the fee for MSU? They don't screen you until you pay.

 

[Robizzle]

yea i paid but still have received no word after that..

 

[TMP-SMX]

yea i paid but still have received no word after that..

Yeah... I've been in the preliminary review stage since 7/12.

 

[Ari Gold]

have we figured out what letter northwestern is on??

i'm 'K' and nothing yet. and how is this far?

 

[justblaze]

Yeah... I've been in the preliminary review stage since 7/12.

I second that. But I thought they were only going to give you a secondary if you got the interview. And very few schools have actually started reviewing files and sending interview invites, so dont need to be too concerned...

 

[hlchess]

Same here, and I'm L.

 

[musiclink213]

All these schools that send out alphabetically is really annoying. I'm a V, everybody always gets things before me. Of course, if they send out acceptances in reverse alphabetical order, I'll be very happy 😀

 

[Teee]

nobody is applying to conneticut? they have the supplemental on their website, do we have to wait for the snail mail?

 

[Johnny_one_eye]

Can anyone who recently received loyola via snail mail tell me when they were verified? I'm wondering what the turn-around time is...

Also, any re-applicants to loyola? I was wondering if there was any additional questions or places to indicate this? I thought I remembered there was...

Cheers

I'm probably not much help, but I turned in AMCAS in June 5th and was verified by the 9th. My secondary app to Loyola goes in the mail tomorrow (you have to turn it in via snail mail).

verified 6/19. Im OOS. My Loyola goes in the mail tomorrow also. It is due 8/14 so I guess that means I got it 7/14

I am K as well and nothing. I know a few people sooner in the alphabet 😉 that we should see reporting first. 🙂

Let us know when you get northwestern, kids. 🙂

Thanks for the responses folks

Anyone with a more recent verification date? Or do you think it's about 3 weeks from verification to receiving the letter?

Hey Johnny,

Verified 6/27; Post-marked 7/19; arrived 7/21-- 3 weeks sounds right on

good luck

Does anyone who applied to Medical University of Ohio (or Medical College of Ohio....whatever they feel like calling themselves this week), remember when they started sending their invites?

 

[juiceman311]

Mercer's secondary is available as of July 28
