Yea I read it only after i submitted my LOR. Oh well. Maybe they will verify by Friday.

Anybody finds the U of Chicago's third essay a chore? Something like: please meditate upon the our holy mission statement. After genuflection is complete, proceed to prostrate yourself at our feet and explain how a GREAT fit you are to our most exemplary institution.

Yeah...I'm not a big fan of any of the essays on that secondary! The whole thing has been kickin' my butt...then again, what part of this application process hasn't?!

 

[Twitch]

BCM = Baylor, correct?
Should have gone to work today to get the mail. Oh well

Yep. I guess I should turn in that secondary. There was no letter or anything in there. Just the admissions booklet.

 

[Anastasis]

I'm really thinking about just not finishing Georgetown's secondary. $130 is a bunch of money I don't have. I'm pretty sure I'll get in somewhere in TX in which case I'd rather just stay here. Do ya'll thinking pulling out now is a bad idea?

I don't think withdrawing now from Georgetown is a bad idea. If it's not a school you can really see yourself attending (and, FWIW, I definitely think you'll get in somewhere in Texas), no point in wasting your $130. Good luck!

With your stats I am sure God himself would ask WTF happened if you didn't get into a TX school.

$130? That's a crazy amount of money. You could pretty much do two other secondaries for that price.

Robizzle,

Dude, I submitted my AECOM secondary also, and I don't recall seeing the sign either. I went back to the site today and there it was lol. I could have sworn that it wasn't there a few weeks ago 😱

Oh well, Ill just email them as well make sure everything is ok. I wonder if we just made a horribly bad impression on a great school 🙁

Yeah no kidding. That's what I was thinking. Thanks for the support guys. 😍 I think I'm nixing Georgetown.

Agree with all of the previous posts...those Texas schools would be mad to not accept you...and if they didn't, you could still do much better than Georgetown!

I bet we are the only two that sent in secondaries, after they received them they were probably thinking its time to post a message

oooor they like us so much that they decided they'd stop the rest of the application flow to super carefully review our applications. 😉

Yea, I'm OOS and I received my secondary this past Friday the 30th.

Wow Rush is a real pain.

Where are my NYMC, Jefferson, Tufts, Upstate e-mails???

 

[jackieMD2007]

Wow Rush is a real pain.

Heads-up on Rush, kids. You're going to need a copy of your birth certificate or passport. So if you don't have a passport, get ready to order a copy of your birth certificate from your county of birth. If you live in a different state, you'll need to have your request signed and notarized. 🙄

Just a heads-up. After slogging through those essays, who wants to be held back from "File Complete" because of a stupid birth certificate?

Also, they need a 2X2 picture.

all.

[DrVanNostran]

Rush wasn't so bad, 4 1000 char essays, U of C is still the worst🙂

BTW Robizzle, did you get an email from AECOM, they said it was ok and not to worry🙂

 

[spospo]

i am hating U of C right now. Rush may have 4, but in my opinion U of C's seem a lot more time consuming.

i swear, i used to be productive at work. stupid SDN and applying to med school 😛

Who did you send an email to? I just sent it to the general admissions address. Anyways, It looks like we are ok 😀

 

[rachmoninov3]

Washington U in St. Louis needs to be placed in sending invites via email. I got their email last week.

 

[star22]

Does anyone have a link for georgetown?

thanks

 

[Suaveness]

Question...if I've already sent out AMCAS for secondaries (gotten some), can I still add more schools to AMCAS to send out?

 

[zimmie256]

Has anyone gotten an email from Emory whose AMCAS is not yet verified? I still haven't heard anything from them, but I'm not verified yet either since I submitted in the post-MCAT release rush...

 

[Anastasis]

Question...if I've already sent out AMCAS for secondaries (gotten some), can I still add more schools to AMCAS to send out?

Yes.

 

[Bubblehead-to-MD]

Yes.

For a small fee, of course!

 

[trpng0bily]

Has anybody else who is verified not yet heard from University of Michigan?

 

[DMBAND]

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm a little confused...I got a few emails from schools for secondaries but for the schools that you are all saying have the secondaries on their site, is that the only way to get them or will they contact us if/when we should fill them out? Is this something they just expect us to do? Thanks 🙂
