anyone know when theyre going to send interview details? They sort of mentioned on the phone but it felt vague lol
 
Is it a good sign to have gotten a secondary from here? I haven’t been marked complete yet so I know I’m super late and worried.

Same here. I did read on sdn that apparently EVMS is one of the few schools that screened for secondaries but idk how true that is?

They do screen! I didn’t get one and in the email they sent me it said the committee reviewed my application and decided not to send me a secondary so if you got one def fill it out!

Oh I did not know that do you know why they do so? Is it based on grades or like regional fit as well? I am in the Northeast so idk if that played a role with GPA/MCAT in their OOS medians. I just hope the screening doesn’t take too long until like October.

I’m sure they mention on their website! Every school is looking for a particular kind of student and to build a particular kind of class so who knows!
 
"to fulfill our secondary requirement you must submit three individual letters: two of which must be from a natural and/or physical sciences faculty, this includes neuroscience and research faculty. The other letter can be from non-science faculty (courses in mathematics will be considered a non-science letter)."

Does the non-science faculty refer to a professor who taught you a class? Or can it be a physician or psychologist.

I interpreted it as specifically teacher since it says "faculty" and just sent a LOR from my English prof. I used my physician LOR as an additional one. You can contact them though to double check.
 
First SDN post! Just had my interview today. The virtual session beforehand was very helpful in getting a feel for the academic curriculum (really fun immersive/virtual SIM Center experience), community engagement learning projects (everyone put a huge emphasis on this), and being able to connect with current students.

My interview:
  • Lasted the full 45 minutes, very conversational
  • Standard 5 questions (all of which were some variation from the ones listed on the Interview Feedback Page - i.e. ethical issues, healthcare issues, what I do in my free time, why medicine vs. engineering etc.). If you haven't looked at those yet, hiiiiighly suggest!
  • My interviewers seemed to enjoy my personal experiences and even asked follow-up questions about them (Would suggest having some quick stories/concrete examples to share to supplement your answer)
  • Overall, everyone was very friendly, welcoming, and seemed genuinely excited to meet us, interviewees. If you haven't already checked, MCAThiccy made a more detailed post in last year's page. (Page 6)
Hope this helps!

I’m not sure but maybe that is the complete email? I never got a “supplemental application received” email only got one with the subject line “Application complete” like 2 weeks after getting in the secondary and paying the fee.

Did y'all who interviewed already send thank you notes, and if so, how did you send them?

I don't remember the specifics, but something was mentioned about thank you notes after interviews during last Wednesday's conference. I believe they prefer virtual thank you notes, but I would have someone else confirm before sending anything out.

I sent one email with individual attachments for my thank you notes. They were specific on how to format the attachments.
Email: [email protected]
Attachments: Only PDF/Word Docs titled "Last name, First Name AMCAS ID"
Ex. Doe, John 123456.pdf

If you have multiple attachments, maybe add a number or something to differentiate each one,
Ex. Doe, John 123456 - 1.pdf

Hope that helps!

Are they still sending out secondaries, added them sept 22nd? OOS LM 64
 
Hey so for the organic chemistry lab requirement. Did everyone have 2 semesters of orgo lab or 1 sem orgo lab + 1 sem biochem lab? I meet the 2 credits requirements but I only took one orgo lab as that's all my university offered. Any insight from anyone?

It may take like a week or two to get them because they screen for secondaries apparently. They should though because you added them before primary app deadline.
