Anyone know how long this school takes to send out secondaries? Thanks!

My primary was released 7/25 and I just received the secondary last night!

 

[theeleventhhour]

Ok, thanks!

I think that the school heavily screens... my primary was released 8/1 and got the secondary today... I was wondering if any of you had errors in deficient credits for the school's non-science prerequisites? The email said indicated that I had an 18 credit deficiency, but it should only be 3...

careful reading, it just states that 6 credits are required for each of those sections (=18) but not necessarily that you are deficient in ALL of those areas

 

[binderring]

Got an email saying I have some credit deficiency. Kinda odd, since this was the only school that gave me this warning. Does this school require extra credit or something?

Received an interview invitation today. I like when others post their stats so here are mine: cGPA 3.3 sGPA 3.1 MCAT 29. non-traditional. Application complete on July 29th.

 

[geh926]

[Uh oh]

ii!

Awesome congrats

 

[novafan3000]

Complete email today, released 7/19, secondary received 8/14, submitted 8/15.. 3.9 c/sgpa, 27 mcat

I'm wondering, what did you mean by "complete" email? I submitted my secondary on 7/7 and on 7/8 I received an email stating that my application was received and was being under review. However, I never received anything stating that my application was actually complete. Should this be a concern?

BTW, in the email I received, it stated that it will take approximately 4 weeks to process the application and notify me of their decision. It's been 6 weeks so far.

 

[Postictal Raiden]

Anyone know Interview to acceptance ratio? The email said 500/135 but the 135 only includes matriculants.

If they are going to matriculate 135, they must accept at least 250, to ensure no seat is left unclaimed. In that case, the ratio will be 2 to 1.

Did you guys make sure your volunteer experience was healthcare-related or did you list non healthcare-related experiences as well??

Also..those of you with II's: did you attach a separate page with all your volunteer activities or did you just use the slots given?

Thanks!

 

[Postictal Raiden]

II received 15 mins ago!

I immediately called and scheduled it for Nov 18th the morning session.

For those who are interested, Nov 6th and 12th are still available but I didn't go with either of them since they conflict with my work schedule.

Congrats man! You've been sooo anxiously waiting for this, so I'm happy for you 🙂

Some questions: When were you complete? What are your stats? and are you OOS?

Congrats to those of you with interviews! Is the secondary at TUNCOM same or similar to the TUCOM CA secondary? If not, does anyone mind to share (or PM me) what the essay questions are? Thanks and good luck everyone!

Now I wish I had scheduled my interview on the 6th, so we could have each other's back. Mine is on Nov. 18th.

Yeah woulda been great man!

Though even Nov 6th I'm hesitant on. I might actually consider moving it to the 18th--as I have class on Tuesday 5 - 8 PM, and it would be good to not have to miss class.

Will update you on that.

 

[RockDoc28]

I never did, but called to confirm it was received about three weeks after I submitted it. Received an II the next day.
