musicaldna Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Why not get a Canadapost money order? Theres no extra cost afaik. I got a money order from Canada Post yesterday. The fee is $ 5.5 but they gave me an insanely high exchange rate....1.24 CAD = 1 USD. I don't think its worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmmmm Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Congrats Hackintosh . VCU seems like a nice school, but the the crime rate in Richmond scares me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmitch8 Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 Hey guys, I finally got the VCU application also. I noticed this in the instructions: "If you are a permanent resident of the US or Canada you must submit a copy of your permanent resident card by mail or email to complete your file." Do you think this statement only refers to those who are not Canadian or US citizens, but have permanent resident status? Or do we all have to mail in some proof of residency?

musicaldna Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 My VCU status still says that application will be reviewed. I guess you guys were verified before me so they will get to my file later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premed11 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 did anyone fill out the optional essay on Jefferson? I am just going to leave it blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rach Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 did anyone fill out the optional essay on Jefferson? I am just going to leave it blank. I left it blank... Got an interview so I guess it's not a big deal. My PS is probably the best thing in my app so I didn't want to ruin it with a half-assed optional essay.

c17h Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 did anyone fill out the optional essay on Jefferson? I am just going to leave it blank. In contrast to Rach, I wrote why I wanted to go to Jefferson in 500 characters and I received an interview as well.... so I honestly don't think it matters too much.

rmitch8 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I left the Jefferson optional essay blank too. Also, I wasn't able to satisfy all the specific LOR requirements they wanted (bio, physics, chem, etc). I guess it doesn't matter if they were willing to give an interview.

I didn't satisfy that requirement either but they obviously don't care too much since they let us explain our lack of letters. I like that about them.

Guest viscous Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I was AMCAS verified on 06-08 but still have not received secondaries from AECOM, Rosalind, UConn, East Virginia and Wake Forest. No clue what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No clue what is going on. Out of those I applied to RF and WF. RF sent me their secondary on July 29, the day I was verified... So def check with them. For Wake, I did get their secondary, but this is one of the schools that screens. So a lot of people get cut before getting the secondary. Check your status on the site, they are good about updating it. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest viscous Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 For GW secondary pre-requisite course work, do I enter the course titles as they appear on AMCAS application or my transcripts beacuse of the addition of "and Lab" factor in AMCAS app? And do I enter the letter grade on verified AMCAS or the one on my transcript? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

premed11 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Mount Sinai asks if we've applied to med school before. Should I just put down no for canadian schools (I have applied twice and will also apply this year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicaldna Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Mount Sinai asks if we've applied to med school before. Should I just put down no for canadian schools (I have applied twice and will also apply this year) I was confused for this one. But I decided to include Canadians ones. I was afraid that they may ask about applying to Canadian schools at the interviews.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rach Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 musicaldna, I think you were one of a few of us who are applying to kentucky. Did you do their secondary?

Think hard before applying, I'm now at 7 pages for the secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
