Do MD/PhD secondaries usually go out later than MD secondaries? I noticed that some people have already received secondaries from schools that I applied to (such as Cornell), but I haven't gotten anything.

I'm wondering the same thing. I have also not received any secondaries and hoped that this was the case. Also, a lot of my schools do screen so I'm trying to stay calm.

When I applied, some schools sent out secondaries early, and some sent them out pretty late (OOS schools, generally).

I've received email invites for Wash U, Stanford, and Columbia today. None of these schools screen supposedly though so no biggie. Also some of these apps are not actually open to start completing yet (ie Wash U which opens June 20th according to its website).

I'll get excited when some of the schools that screen start sending apps.

Really? I got WashU, but no Columbia or Stanford...

Damn.. My transcript hasn't reached AMCAS yet and I am waiting for the email that says it is there so I can click that submit button. I check my email atleast 10 times a day and am waiting to submit. Seeing that people already got their secondaries is freaking me out (a little). And the more time I spend on SDN, the more I freak out.. I hope end of July to submit secondaries isn't too late, atleast for MD/PhDs...

Yup. Got WashU and Stanford emails yesterday. Columbia is up online and anyone with an AMCAS ID can start filing it out. So go get on it, because it is largely repeating stuff from your AMCAS application in, my opinion, a less user friendly and productive form......

Calm calm calm yourself! These are only the secondaries that get sent to EVERYONE. Remember. A lot of schools say on their websites that they don't start SCREENING applications until mid July. I sincerely doubt that even the most anal of applicants could have everything done by the end of July! Besides I have multiple friends in MSTPs who submitted their primary in August and had an acceptance by the end of the year.....it will all be ok. Promise.

Not people I'd like to meet in a dark alley.

For the OP. I got the Cornell secondary email today and it came with an attachment just for MD/PhD folks, so I think it is safe to say our emails are sent separately form MD only folks (ie later). Sure you will get it soon/already have it.

I also got the Michigan secondary today.

I got Cornell and Michigan this afternoon as well. I know of a few MD-only applicants who got automatic interview invitations from Michigan. I'm assuming these don't exist for MD/PhD students, right?

have you been able to access Cornell's app? My log in keeps timing out from the link. It may be my sub-par internet connection, but I'd appreciate knowing if you get through. Thanks.

Cornell's app seems to be working just fine for me. It must be an internet connection issue on your end.

I'm trying to apply to the USUHS graduate program, which you have to send off along with the secondary for MD/PhD. I go to http://gapp.usuhs.mil/default.asp and hit application form, then enter my name and email along with the essay. Then when I hit continue it leads to a database error? Can anyone else get through, or is it messed up?

Seems like the MD/PhD folks secondaries are sent out later than MD-only people..just an observation from reading the school specific threads...what do you guys think?

I feel like it depends on the school. For some schools, I seem to have been getting them at the same time as the MD folks, but for others I have gotten them later (Tri-I comes to mind).
