Secondaries that are Already Out ('07)

Members don't see this ad.

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

Haven't heard a thing yet here.

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 🙂

They will probably contact you eventually, but if you want to get it out of the way and its available already on their website, then go for it!

Verified the 19th, got an email from Mich on....checking..... 6/30/06

God this cracked me up. In an email from Ohio State after submission of their secondary.
"Use your AAMC ID number as your Log In ID. For the password, use the first letter of your AMCAS legal first name + the last four digits of your AAMC ID number + the last letter of your AMCAS legal last name + the first two digits of your AAMC ID number."

I should get an acceptance letter soon for getting that password right on the first try!
Jesus, the thinking never ends.

So that's why Jay didn't get in to Ohio State with his 4.0 GPA and 45 MCAT...

Thanks...I had a feeling 🙂

so much for thursday secondaries..

and u all probably rushed to this thread to see if another was sent out! lol we're terrible.

 

[swim2md]

it's sad but true. sorry for making everyone jump. i'm starting to get annoyed though-- i think i've refreshed my email about 600 times today.

Pennsylvania schools are really sucking at this!!!!

I heard Drexel sends theirs through snail mail-- does anyone know of this is true?

 

[Robizzle]

damn, u got me!

 

[spospo]

wooooohooooooo i got U of Wash secondary invite via email. yayayayayayayayayayay, i'm kinda excited, they are my #1...woohoo

[Erina]

i'm getting bored and i'm really jealous of everyone who has been getting lots of secondaries! i have only received OSU so far...apparently pennsylvania schools (and every other school i applied to) aren't as on top of things 😛 of course, once the secondaries start rolling in, i'll probably be complaining about having TOO much to do!

 

[Robizzle]

yea i just want the really easy ones already. the ones with huge essays can wait..

seriously though, i think its because all the penn schools are still dealign with all the waitlists from 2006 (do u see how many ppl post on the temple, drexel, jefferson, penn state waitlist threads????) they are really backd up this year!

 

[swim2md]

I'm giving up for now. A watched pot and all that jazz, right? Hopefully something comes while I'm gone. Shopping sounds more fun than clicking "Check Mail" every 30 seconds anyway. Good luck, and sorry for making y'all jump again!

 

[Robizzle]

great idea. i feel like if u ignore everything online for a full 24 hrs everything u want will be there when u come back. try it folks.

Why do you think I created this thread, Rob? 🙄 So we could all be paranoid and speculate together, as the class of 2007!

Actually...so we would know what was out, when, and so the August MCATers would have an idea about what secondaries were already out. 😉
Thanks to everyone for contributing thus far.

 

[jsong812]

For everyone who received the Rush secondaries, were you already verified? And generally speaking, do you have to be verified before you are given a secondary? I know there are a few exceptions, such as Columbia and UofC...

 

[ppancreas]

University of South Florida sent me an email today asking that I make sure that I meet their GPA and MCAT requirements and then asked me to email them to get a secondary. So I guess I would consider that 'being out!'

 

[MiesVanDerMom]

I think I read on here Temple's was coming out today but actually the website says July 10th. I know last year Pitt was a bit late getting theirs out. So, PA people, don't hold your breath...

I added USF to the "Acknowledgement via email but no invite yet" b/c they sent me an e-mail asking me to review the minimum criteria (24 MCAT, 3.0 GPA) and if it applies to me, go ahead and reply to request a secondary packet. FYI for anyone else who got this e-mail...make sure you reply to [email protected]; for some reason when I replied to the e-mail they sent out (from [email protected]), I got an error message.

 

[incubate6times]

Penn just e-mailed me a link to their application with a temp password.

I didn't get the email from UPenn! 😕

Do they screen???

I didn't get an e-mail from them yet either, but my app is not yet verified, so I'm guessing that's why.

 

[swim2md]

I was verified in early June and I still didn't get it.

I am OOS but was verified early. Probably my first rejection 🙂
I wonder how many people have U penn. Hell with no essays I want to get that thing done

Damn! Still waiting to be verified...are the questions the same as previous years?

 

[swim2md]

Did anyone else who IS verified NOT get the UPenn secondary, or am I the only one??? MSAR says they send to all applicants.

I didnt get it. Lets just relax, this thread says they do not screen so we will all get it sooner or later.

 

[spospo]

yep exactly the same ( i think at least ) : why do you want to be a doc?(PS can substitutue for this one they say) and why UWSOM? i am thinking about just letting my PS answer the first because that is what i wrote about. any opinions on leaving the first blank?

Thanks for the info...yeah, I think I will just refer to my AMCAS PS...for me to write another response to this question would be redundant. Let's hope they appreciate efficiency!

excellent, i am not writing another essay if i don't have to 😀 and they better appreciate our efficiency and the fact that we don't fill it w/ ANOTHER essay that they the poor adcomms have to read. best of luck

 

[swim2md]

Sorry-- had a minor breakdown. I blame it on a bad day at work. I'm relaxed for a few more days, I suppose.

Not long enough! What happened to the massive influx of secondaries that were supposed to arrive this week????

 

[jackieMD2007]

Not long enough! What happened to the massive influx of secondaries that were supposed to arrive this week????

Ah, yes. The first week of July thing is turning out to be an urban legend. (And good thing because I could use another paycheck before my next 3-4 secondaries...)

Anyway, You found it out here first, folks, there just aren't that many secondaries out yet. I am sure the day of reckoning is coming. 😀

 

[tennisguy896]

Quick question about Pritzker's secondary: is each essay automatically formatted into one massive paragraph?

 

[salotfiemran]

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.

Medical Schools can access a list of the schools you have applied to or are applying to via AMCAS. Don't hold out info, it'll look more suspicious
