Not me. Just the blue form and a request for $30. Anybody know if they have essay questions on the secondary part 2?
 
from what I can tell from the e-mail that I got from their office, I think that the blue form is all we have to fill out to complete our files. in fact, i can post the text of this e-mail here now, make of it what you will. it says nothing of any other forms besides the blue form....

Dear Applicant:

The College of Medicine (COM) Office of Admissions has received your application from AMCAS. You will be receiving via U.S. Postal Service correspondence from the University of Florida Office of Admissions, not the COM office . Along with a cover letter the package will include a University of Florida Application for Admission to the College of Medicine, the blue form. Follow all instructions and return the form to the address provided.

The blue UF admissions application is not indication that a decision has been made by UF COM Office of Admissions. Although your AMCAS application has been received by this office a decision will not be made on your application until the UF admission application has been completed, returned and is on file in that office. Once your blue form is on file in the UF Admissions Office and a decision regarding your status in the College of Medicine Office of Admissions has been made you will be notified via e-mail.

If you have submitted the blue form and have not received notification from the COM Office of Admissions, one month after its submission you should verify your status with the UF Office of Admissions, 352-392-1365 Office of Graduate and Professional Programs.
 
what about LORs?
 
the blue form is sent before a decision is made regarding the secondary application. they will send it to approximately half their applicants and it does have essay questions.
 
I think the blue form may be a prelim to the secondary...

This is from their website:

Personal statements, academic performance and MCAT scores submitted in the AMCAS application are reviewed and competitive applicants are sent materials for formal (secondary) application. Applicants who are "advised not to apply" but wish to continue with the application process may request a secondary application. Formal application requires a $20 fee to the University of Florida. This fee is nonrefundable. The deadline for submitting formal application materials, including letters of recommendation, is January 15th. No application materials will be accepted after this date.


It sounds like when you pay the fee, you're in the process of getting a seconday/completing your file...

Anyone know differently?
 
thats right, i spoke to robyn and she said that the blue form if simply to get us in the main uf database. one that is done ufcom will review our appp and send secondaries.

i just wanted to know if anyone has got a real secondary app. i sent in the blue form about a week ago....no confirmation by email that it was received.
 
So the blue form doesn't guarantee a secondary, I am guessing?
