Am I missing something on the Wash U secondary? the optional essay is about being disadvantaged, and the other essay is your relation to the WashU med school, not even WashU in general. Are there basically no essays? Anyone? 😕

 

[SeminoleFan3]

Kentucky screens OOSers.

 

[Mazework]

I got an Email from UCSD and they told me that they got my primary. it's not a seconday, but I just wanted to let people know.

Got a secondary from Case Western today

AECOM (http://www.aecom.yu.edu/home/admissions/fpdb/images/1_forms/secondary.pdf)

Looking at that secondary is anyone else a little put off by it?(Yes, I applied here too.) The thing is they ask you if you're a reapplicant where have you applied before. I'm not sure if I want them to know anything about that.(seems like too much information.) Anybody else want to comment?

 

[Anastasis]

Man I want to be part of the GW secondary party - why haven't I gotten my invite yet? 🙁

Spoke too soon - got it this morning!

I would caution you about with holding that information, especially if you're a reapplicant to AECOM. If they find out, they have grounds to dismiss you for not telling the whole truth. On the other hand, if they don't find out, so be it. I'm not sure if or to what extent medical schools talk to each other. Just hope they don't.

hey--can anyone tell me if Case Western screens before sending secondaries? gracias

They don't, but they send you a password to logon to the secondary.

Yeah, I thought that was weird too. Unless you were disadvantaged or have a connection to WashU, I guess there are no essays.

Hey, are you verified yet?

 

[nager105]

Hey, are you verified yet?

Yes. I was verified last Friday the 23rd and I got the e-mail from them the same day. They said they screen for at least a 7 on VR, 7 on PS, 8 on BS, and 2.8 GPA. I know those stats aren't extremely hard to get by, but just thought I'd throw that in there.

Well I'm not a reapplicant to AECOM. I'm just wondering how'd they'd react to anybody telling them "Yes I applied last year, I applied to X schools and I did not get in. This is as far as I'm willing to discuss the situation."

that's really stupid how some schools have their applications available online without sending any notices. there should be a universal system in which to fill out all secondaries. either a.) send them only by email or b.) only post them on the website. it is lame that you have to check 10,000 websites to see if they are gonna post it on the website or email it to you.

 

[Ginkneephur]

Do the FL schools require LORs from MDs?

Basically no essays. It was nice once you get the crazy information about your ACT/SAT, and high school GPA and class rank.

High school? Do these people really care about how I did 14 - 18 years ago?! Holy crap! Maybe those bongs I crafted out of soda cans weren't such a good idea!

Been approved to fill out Miami secondary today via email. Haven't looked through it yet though.

It is under the EMAIL category, and as such was sent out to people. I am not applying to Georgetown.

Can anyone who got the EMAIL from Georgetown PM Doctajay with the questions please? 😀

Someone had Miami, but I'm not sure which it is.

Please submit a one-page essay, single-spaced, one side only, on an 8.5" x 11" sheet on "why have you chosen to apply to Georgetown University School of Medicine, and how do you think your education at Georgetown will prepare you to become a physician for the future?

Just got an e-mail from Emory acknowledging my primary. It said they would be e-mailing secondary invites by the end of July.

Wow, end of July. That is pretty late.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

 

[Anastasis]

Just got an e-mail from Emory acknowledging my primary. It said they would be e-mailing secondary invites by the end of July.

I applied there too - so far I've gotten 2ndary or acknowledgment emails from GW, Georgetown and Baylor. All of which are sending out secondaries right now.

How long does it usually take for screened secondaries?

 

[Punkn]

How long does it usually take for screened secondaries?

I have no idea, but I'd like to know the answer as well. I know last year people started get the Loyola secondary ~3 weeks after they were verified and Loyola screens (sort of...I think you have to have >25 MCAT). That's all I've got! Hopefully someone can help us out. 🙂
