Help! Secondary Apps


inzi

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

I am an Ontario resident and I submitted my primary application for AMCAS last week. I realize that its getting really late in the application process and was hoping to work on the actual essays for the next couple of weeks while my primary is being verified. I called the schools that I applied to and they said that although they can't give me the questions, I can ask other people that are currently applying to them and work on them. So, I was hoping/wishing for anyone to send me a personal message or list the secondary questions in this thread for the following schools that I plan to apply to. Any help would be really appreciated!

 

Illinois is my 1st choice of state as I have relatives there and plan to apply to all 7 schools:

Rosalind Franklin

Pritzker

Northwestern

Loyola

Rush

Southern Illinois

University of Illinois (UIC)

 

Others

Albany medical college

Albert Einstein College

Case Western

Dartmouth

George Washington University school of medicine and health sciences

Meharry

SUNY Buffalo

Wayne State

 

I look forward to hearing from anyone on this matter! If anyone knows a better way of getting these questions (other than waiting for AMCAS verification :P), I would really appreciate the feedback! Take care and good luck with your apps!
