bane Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 hey guys, anyone else having mad trouble keeping up with the secondaries? I can't keep my head above water with MCAT studying plus secondaries. Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bane Posted August 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 BTW, can anyone please tell me when a secondary is considered "not early". You know, a primary is considered early in the J months. Anything similar for secondaries? thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochi1543 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I'd say it's probably best to turn them in by end of September or so, althought of course, the earlier the better - it doesn't really matter when you submitted the primary if you wait forever to turn in the secondaries. I got my 3rd one today....need to hear about 28 more. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bane Posted August 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I hate the secondaries too. As if the PS wasnt bad enough honestly!! that was such a piss-off! i hated the PS. I havent worked on the secondaries which have essay components. Just doing the esay ones that ask your marks and why you like the school and what you'll be doing for the year prior to matriculation.

I have a secondary with SIX different essay questions Some of the questions VERY similar to PS - Now how do I ADD to my application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochi1543 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I have a secondary with SIX different essay questions Some of the questions VERY similar to PS - Now how do I ADD to my application. Yeah, I wrote a 6-essay one just last week. The last one I have here only has 1 essay question, but it's not too different from "why do you want to be a doctor," so it shouldn't take me too long to edit and paste one of the essays I already have saved.

sonyvaio2700 Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 wayne state prescreens. so if you get a secondary, there is 50% shot of getting an interview. All the secondary questions were basically all the same (with few exceptions). I pretty much had 2 full page length of unique stuff that I inserted in every school's secondary answer (34 schools or so I applied to). Sometimes ONLY changing the NAME of the school. lol. But make sure you have the correct name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikkey Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 NYU doesn't accept internationals does it? Or at least it says so in the MSAR, although 3 internationals matriculated... Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
