2021-2022 Application Cycle

I had the same realization when I just applied, and they emailed me specifically and said my application would not be complete until I had one from a science faculty member. I was able to get one to them, and they then verified that my application was complete and they would review it. So from my experience, seems like they are pretty strict. Especially cause I had 5 letters of Rec already, but they were telling me they needed that one specifically before my application could go anywhere. 

I'm a little confused because I have three letters of rec: two from MDs and one from a PA. They haven't said anything to me about a science faculty member. I got the email today about making my profile with them and paying the secondary application fee. It is possible that they counted the MDs ad science faculty members because they are professors at a med school?

Hi everyone! Did you all also fill out the additional personal statement? Currently struggling on what to add.

I got a C in ochem and micro previously and I retook those classes to receive better grades, so I explained the whole process and how that made me become a better student/more focused. If you didn’t have a similar experience or you don’t have anything else to explain, maybe you can expand on your PCE and any significant moments you had that helped you solidify your choice in the profession?

I discussed my experience in Arizona, and more so what had influenced me in the past year prior to applying, I included more info about my grades as well. I could send it to you if youd like to read it!

Hi everyone, 

Is there a secondary application with essay questions for this program or is it just a secondary "fee"? I cannot find a clear answer on the website. Thanks in advance!

Yes, there are two additional essay questions (500 word limit) and you also have to respond to a few yes or no questions about your background

For those receiving interview invites, are you also getting a confirmation email beforehand? Or straight to the interview invite? Seems like they’re getting back pretty fast in some cases!

 

Also, where is the additional personal statement some of you are talking about? Thank you!

No confirmation e-mail that they received my secondary! Just an interview invite.
