Members don't see this ad.

I still haven't received Cornell's secondary. How many of you guys have received it?

You can just go to their website and get it. No invite necessary - just an amcas ID.

I think you have to verified also in order to access it.

 

[tennisguy896]

I think you have to verified also in order to access it.

I can't find where to log-in on the cornell site. On their site, it says they email applicants after they receive your amcas and provide directions for access. 😕

(But not a secondary invite, yet)

Emory--Email says invites going out by end July
Southern Illinois University (SIU)
University of California, San Diego (UCSD)
University of Florida
*University of Pittsburgh (sent out a test group, the rest are yet to come)
University of Washington
University of Wisconsin
University of Miami (Sent out Invites 6-30, see above)
University of Rochester (Secondary available July 17)
VCU (People started passing screens 7-1)

*Since Pitt only sent out a test group, and their secondary is largely unavailable to everyone else, I have made an executive decision to relegate Pitt to the bottom category. Their test grouping seems like a bit like a screening, but looks like they are just trying to work out the bugs. This is only temporary, I am sure we'll have them on the top list soon.

From what they told me, they will be sending applications to everyone. They are not screening. It is exactly what you said, them trying to work out the bugs

 

[joanofarc0907]

what's pgh, pittsburgh?

Yes pittsburgh, its general slang for the city. Both of my brothers live or lived there for college so I kind of picked up on that funky stuff. Sorry 🙂

Temple is out!

I got UVA via snail mail today. I got excited cuz my Mom said it was from UMD, but she was just accidently saying that. Oh well, but you can put it in the snail mail list too as well as the email list

Yeah I got kinda excitd to get a letter from UVA...but then I realized it's the exact same thing that I got in an email. 🙄

 

[trpng0bily]

I can't find where to log-in on the cornell site. On their site, it says they email applicants after they receive your amcas and provide directions for access. 😕

There is a link a couple of pages back. That's how I got there.

 

[Robizzle]

damn i just got back from class to see that i got temple AND VCU! ohhh today really was the day, jackie 😀

I still haven't gotten one, and I saw that on the site too. I'm getting a little antsy for that one.

Here's the link they send:
http://osaf.med.cornell.edu

I haven't read it much, but I think there's just a 200 word "why cornell" question.

 

[Shejeboshease]

is it true that sunny buffalo doesn't ask for any essys in the secondary applications?

 

[Robizzle]

is it true that sunny buffalo doesn't ask for any essys in the secondary applications?

hell yea.

 

[Shejeboshease]

does loyola chicago school of medicine have any preference for some religions? it is one of the largest catholic universities in the us. since i'm muslim, do you think i should apply there?

the same goes with Creighton University..
any thoughts?

 

[modelslashactor]

i am pretty sure that is not important to them. if you are catholic you may consider playing it up as to why you want to go there, but not being xyz religion will not hurt you.

 

[DrVanNostran]

damn i just got back from class to see that i got temple AND VCU! ohhh today really was the day, jackie 😀

🙁 I feel so left out.

 

[SeminoleFan3]

At this point, I can understand why some schools that screen haven't sent out secondaries. But, schools that are going to send them to everyone...come on, and hurry this up already. *NYMC, Drexel, Penn State*

penn state has a "why pennstate?" essay. jefferson has a very arbitrary "additional information' section, and i think drexel has no essay.

Is there a character limit for the Penn State essay?

 

[Matth52]

Is there a list of schools that people have applied to and heard nothing from yet?

 

[jackieMD2007]

Is there a list of schools that people have applied to and heard nothing from yet?

Yes. The schools that are NOT on the list, we haven't heard from yet.
There is a big enough cross section of people on here that when we hear from a school, it goes up on the board.

 

[Erina]

i'm glad to see advertisements have now invaded this forum... 😡

gabar1, I'm pretty sure I hate you.

 

[MollyMalone]

As soon as someone with a ban stick comes around, he/she/it is history.

Thanks for reporting the posts!

My "why Temple" essay is already over 3000 characters.... oops.

How much is too much?

Temple doesn't have limits so technically you can write as much as you want. But really just say what you need to say and leave it at that.

I think this is excellent advice. Concise is better. Say what you're going to say and get outta there. 👍 But then again, I am the wife of a lawyer, who is all about writing things as CONCISELY as possible, so take that with a grain of salt.

no need to make excuses for agreeing with me 😛 i'm always right! 😎

 

[Flare]

I thought someone said something about UNC, but I don't see it up there. I got an email from them last wednesday saying that they'll get their secondary out by the end of July

 

[Erina]

sigh...i was hoping for some new secondaries today, but nothing yet 😴

 

[leahmaria]

me too...

is there a thread like this from last year so that we can see when some of these came out last year?
