Summary of Experience:
I appreciate the fact that this school did not waste their time or my time with a secondary. Every school SHOULD adopt that principle...
Summary of Experience:
After submitting secondary, my file was placed on hold because they wanted a recommendation letter from my current employer. It took me (literally) forever to confirm that they had received this letter...
Summary of Experience:
i submitted secondary application electronically, then received a notice one month later that the secondary application had not been received, so I re-submitted one month later and I am guessing that didn\'t help my chances... Moral is to ensure whatever you submit electronically is actually received because computers are not perfect
Summary of Experience:
best interview experience i ever had - my interviewer really tried to understand and seemed to get what my vision was for my medical career
