If we didn’t receive a secondary yet does that mean a R?

For the diversity question, I want to use what I wrote for my other secondaries, but I'm not sure if it fits. I wrote about having a parent who suffers from mental illness and how it impacted me, Given that my parents are immigrants, I also tied in a couple sentences about the cultural nuances about mental illness and mental health advocacy.

I don't really have any meaningful experiences that don't sound cliché with my culture, religion, etc.

Sometimes if the page has been open for too long it freezes and prevent submission. Just copy your answers and stuff into a word doc, and refresh then paste and you should be able to submit
 
Any OOS without secondary yet? I submitted my primary before the AMCAS transmission date but still have not received one..

It’s rough out here. Did you receive a secondary or was this pre secondary? Also stats if you don’t mind me asking?

I appreciate it! I ended up figuring it out yesterday, and you’re right. I ended up just needing to exit out of the whole thing and go back in. Just was getting frustrated because they don’t let you save your work so I had to put everything in over and over.

Secondary received: 7/28
Secondary submitted: 7/29
R: 8/5

A very quick turnaround there but it's okay!

My GPA is pretty good, MCAT is on the lower end (below their average)

I just got an application received email: "We have received your secondary application. If you are invited for a virtual interview, you will be sent an invitation by email. Interviews are conducted from September until the end of March".

Has anyone gotten an email from this school about considering to apply here and discussing their student profile for admission?
 
OOS got the pre-secondary R earlier today. Good luck everyone!

I'm sorry to hear that. When did you submit your secondary?

I didn't! Haha, they never sent it, hence the "pre-secondary R." My primary was verified around the end of June, though.
 
My pre secondary rejection had that I should maybe pursue a Master's if I don't get into medical school this year- is this because of my GPA?

It is possible, however I think you would be better suited to get more clinical/research/volunteer hours if your GPA is already above 3.5 and you have a solid MCAT. Masters to me is more for establishing academic potential to make it through medical school.

Yeah- my cGPA is at a 3.5 and sGPA is 3.25 (will probably be little above 3.3 after finishing post-bacc this year), so I think it is about the low clinical hours that EVMS seems to care about, especially for OOS. Thanks!
 
Do they mention the reason for the pre-secondary rejection in the email they send informing you of the rejection?
 
I think the one that I got said supplemental received and it said that they will notify me if I am selected for an interview. Is this the same one that other people got?
