I keep on submitting secondaries that I spend days on just to realize I contradict myself in one sentence so if they read my primary too close they will get suspicious even tho the contradiction just needs clarification, wrote the wrong name for a free clinic, straight up answered a prompt wrong, grammar mistake, told an irrelevant story. I am loosing it.
So I got a secondary for MU-COM and sent in my primary for NOVA. I am debating applying to AZCOM and CCOM. I live in Virginia, have no connections to indiana, florida, arizona, or illinois. Should I waste my time sending in the secondary for MU-COM and NOVA, and should I even apply to AZCOM, CCOM? Also I am not religious
I am getting a physician letter that is being added in a week or two. I already submitted secondaries for schools that do not require a physician letter. I did not realize NYIT didn't accept updates to your application after u submit the secondary. Is this true?
thats all.
I was missing a physician LOR and the doc i shadowed a few wks ago agreed to write me one. He will probs upload it to interfolio by the end of this week or next week. Do I need to email the schools to update my application to reflect my added letter? I am so excited, I can now apply to all the DO schools! My list was limited.
Prepping for this exam seems like the biggest waste of time
I am from DC, so obviously I am close to Philly and also enjoy urban environments. I also feel I align nice with their campus given my experiences, and already wrote up the secondary for it. However, I do have some rural experience from shadowing at a rural hospital/volunteering at rural pop-up clinics. Also all of my extended family lives near Atlanta. I def would prefer to go to the philly campus, but would it be a bad look on me to not select that I want to be considered for admission?
So i already submitted a few secondaries for DO schools, and I began my why us essays w a few sentences dedicated to a clinical experience, and then hopped into why the school interested me based on what i learned from that experience. Is this bad? Looking back, I am extremely stressed bc I went a route that wasnt "I am interested in X because I have done Y"
So upsetting. I am an instate student, have 28 shadowing hours. Turns out their cutoff is 40. FML. Also before y'all ask, I never worked as a scribe, or can't split my hours bc I never worked w docs in my clinical experiences. I have over 900 clinical hours, but bc of the cutoff I cannot apply.
I did not realized DO schools did this. It is definitely delaying my app submission until probably end of June. Or should I just submit one school w/o any additional questions to get verified?
title. are secondaries ALL stories?
I switched to premed last may (already have a bio degree + have built up my EC's, gotten a unique MS, and have over 1000 hours of volunteer + clinical), but it took me SO long to find a doc to shadow. I shadowed a DO for a day last July, but the rest of my shadowing is from april/may/this upcoming june. I will only have 30 hours when I apply. And most right before I apply. Is this really bad?
