    Ok...I have a coulple of questions...any help would be greatly appreciated:)

    I got a secondary online application request of Virginia Commonwealth University...and they want me to write a 200
    word (which is only like half a page) hand-written essay on topic of my choice...but i cant repeat info from my AMCAS...
    any idea as to what kind of stuff they are looking for??
    creative suggestions?

    Also, I just checked my application status online for NYMS
    and it says secondary application complete 10/23....how
    long do you think before I hear about getting interview
    or not getting one for that matter? Do they have like a avg
    response time to tell you where you stand??

    Thanx:):)

    I wrote a short story... an extremely short story... that really had nothing to do with my application, or any qualifications, it was kind of fiction. but i got in, so i guess it was fine

    Actually the essay request is not in supplemental...but
    if you read the instructions for secondary...it will tell you
    you need to mail in the 200 word hand-written essay on topic of your choice along with the check...and the rest of secondary
    is online:)

    200 words esssay can be any topic...literally...

    and the admission office said that it MUST be hand-written...(my bad hand writing would be a little problem...)

    I wrote really short essay about my childhood...growing up in a foreign country and moved to US and blah..blah...

    it was pretty lame...but i've got an interview...so i guess i was not that bad...

    and for NY...i submitted before you and haven't heard from them either...

    i heard that their process is little slower than others...on top of that...i'm not one of those 4.0 GPA and 38+ MCAT...

    just waiting...it sucks but be patient...it will come around...(at least i'm telling myself that every freakin day....)

    good luck
