Perfect, thank you for your prompt response! I just resent my email to [email protected] and didn't receive the automated error email this time around. So hopefully emails are actually going through now for everyone
I just got my secondary this morning, verified 6/8 but submitted to UMiami on 7/18
Oh but most schools run on a semester
Yeah but not all. Most UC schools are a quarter system, as well as a few others like Dartmouth, so I was wondering how strict they are on the requirement for us.
You will not be able to claim those as meeting prereqs unless your college lists them as "3 general biology credits, 3 history credits" etc.
Thanks! This is super helpful. Wish they just listed out my courses in the first place lol
Does this apply to AP credits that have been lumped together as well? Like, it shows up on the transcript, but the credits themselves aren't specified.
Yes. If you are given 3 AP credits for Bio for instance, they will just appear on your AMCAS app as "CR" with no letter grade and are not calculated into your GPA.
To clarify, will they satisfy prerequisite courses as long as AMCAS accepts them during verification even if they were listed as lump sum on the transcript? (edit: assuming the institution accepts AP credits)
Most med schools will state a policy about AP credits. Most will accept them IF assigned to a certain class category and not as a lump sum.

How early do they typically send out invites?
MSAR says 8/15
Just payment on my end
from what i know multiple reviewers (2 i believe) go through your application and assign it a score (i saw some picture on older threads of their scoring criteria no idea if its still reflective of how they score, but if youre curious it should be somewhere in the thread for last year) and from there they rank the applicants and determine whether youll get an interview or not. when they score you your portal should indicate that but it wont say what score you got
Think I got this from last years thread. Don't remember— it may have already been posted this year lol
I do triathlons/marathons which you don't "play" but I grouped it into that category for the question
manage to include the PR? jokes
I got the secondaries on June 30th; I was ready to submit late at night on July 31st when I saw it had been down. Now It has been 33 days. I am counting days haha.
Yes, it will really “enhance our experience” to be able to submit our secondary!
How would they evaluate adversity if none of their essays involved an adversity prompt. I am SES disadvantaged and used that in the "other life experiences" part of the AMCAS primary but idk if they'll look at that.
Luckily it was my very first, so almost everything after that seemed easy lol I totally get you, its sooooo long ;((((( but you got this!
nobody can submit so you are not going to be considered late!
I think that people are unable to submit them if I recall correctly.
Thanks, I was curious if they are still able to send secondaries to applicants that haven't gotten them yet or whether that was impacted as well.
Oh my bad, not sure on this one.
No worries, thanks for trying!
i thought this has been in their curriculum for a while though (mandatory 8am lectures)? or in prior years was there more lenience
There were always mandatory small group sessions (including at 8 am for M1s) within their new curriculum, but lectures were optional attendance.
Board scores appear fine--at or above national averages. The rationale given was largely in the vein of "professionalism" and the return to more in-person activities in the wake of COVID.
Still can't as of 0825 CST 8/9. Got my secondary nine days ago and prewrote it but can't submit it.
How long did it end up taking for you to receive your secondary? I was verified about a week ago and have not received mine
