Hackintosh Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 any applicants to aecom this year? do you guys remember them asking for proof of citizenship like a passport? I am wondering because I submitted the online secondary as soon as it came out and I'm still not complete, so I was wondering if I forgot to mail something in.

c17h Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Yes, as a Canadian citizen, you do need to submit a copy of your passport, either through email, fax or mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c17h Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Sorry, allow me to correct myself. You can only fax or email it to them. If you are an international student, you must FAX (718-430-8840) or scan a copy of your passport to admissions@aecom.yu.edu See under "Submitting Your Completed Application" for details http://www.aecom.yu.edu/admissions/page.aspx?id=626&ekmensel=15074e5e_1106_1146_btnlink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c17h Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 NP. After emailing them my passport, it took 3 weeks for them to mark me as "complete". Hopefully, yours will be processed faster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maelstrom Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 when they ask whether you have applied to medical schools previously, should we tell them about our application to canadian schools the previous year? and for the letters of recommendation, i'm confused as to what option to select..my school has a career's services but i still opted to send individual letters..but that's not an option! and also..should we still check the box that says letters will be uploaded to amcas through the letter service application even if my letters were MAILED to amcas??? why did they make it sound so confusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maelstrom Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 personal advice from me - don't tell them you applied to canadian schools and if you can don't tell them you are currently either. too late..i decided to put it in just in case they look at my aamc records and see that i released my scores to omsas..maybe i won't do this for mount sinai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackintosh Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 personal advice from me - don't tell them you applied to canadian schools and if you can don't tell them you are currently either. why is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmitch8 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 personal advice from me - don't tell them you applied to canadian schools and if you can don't tell them you are currently either. I was really wondering about this too... I can see why one might want to avoid telling them about applying to Canadian schools. I definitely see the disadvantage of setting myself up for a "why the hell do you want to pay 5X as much to go a US school over Canadian" discussion during a US interview. It's tough to come up with a totally convincing answer to that question. But at the same time, I feel that will be a question asked of us ANYWAYS since we are Canadians applying to the US - regardless of whether we bring it up or not. And if we are dishonest and tell them we aren't even bothering applying to Canadian schools, it might raise even more difficult questions among discerning adcom members (i.e. don't you have any desire to stay in your home country w family/friends/etc? don't you want to at least have the option for a cheaper financial choice?) I'm really wondering how some of the folks who had successful US interviews last year played this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
token Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Don't lie...just don't volunteer the information unless it's asked for. There is a massive stigma against re-applicants in the US, and a lot of adcoms may not realize that even strong applicants often get rejected in Canada the first time. That's more important than the "why the US?" issue. If you can't come up with a convincing answer for that you probably shouldn't be applying, lol.

deeman101 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Crap. I totally missed the part about submitting a copy of my passport. But I'm still marked as "complete" because I got the email and it gives me my completion date. I guess I have to call them. EDIT: Nevermind. Total fail.

c17h Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 did u guys get an email notification after submitting the passport picture? Yes. Although, as I previously stated somewhere in this thread, it took 3 weeks for them to email me to tell me I was "complete" after submitting my passport photo.

c17h Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I got an email that said: "You have successfully completed the Secondary Application." But that doesn't mean its marked as "complete" I guess. You will get a separate email with the title "Application Complete" and saying.... We are happy to inform you that your application to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine is complete, and will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee.

UserName Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 they sent me the "complete" email right after i emailed them about my status... i wonder if it actually helped get it processed (maybe it was lost!) or it's just a coincedence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
