They don't prescreen for secondary.

From their website:

All applicants who submit a verified and completed AMCAS application will be forwarded a Secondary Application via email. All applicants will be required to pay the application fee of $100 or provide documentation for a waiver from the AMCAS Fee Assistance Program (FAP). Following a rigorous screening process, qualified candidates will be invited for a virtual interview. Prior to the interview date, candidates will receive an agenda consisting of meetings with students, faculty and administrators. Candidates will also be given an overview of the curriculum and student life as well as information regarding tuition and financial aid. 

The deadline for secondary applications during the 2026-27 application cycle is December 15, 2026.

Could someone please share the secondary prompts and their limits?

bruh they need a full year of chem lab? should i just not submit the secondary anymore ffs i already wrote everything before i realized. my undergrad has courses structured like 2 lectures and a lab, so like CHEM 101, CHEM 102, CHEM 103 (lab course), does the lab semester count as a full year?

If it's a two credit lab then it might count. You could also email the admissions team and ask.

How many credits is that lab? Agree with TylerT to email the school and ask. You cannot help that's how the classes are offered.

yea i sent an email, the wording on the secondary portal makes it seem like it will count but i emailed just to make sure

update: it counts

Holy shit the prerequisite form they make you fill out might be the worst one yet. Not even drag and drop. Manually typing it in. Bro. Not cool.

Has anyone been able to find information about their research labs?

Was doing more thorough research on the school's curriculums and offerings, and I can't find too many specifics about their research programs and labs (just the journals they've published in and places they've given presentations). My Why medicine is very much inspired by intellectual curiosity, and I'd like to make research a longitudinal aspect of my medical education.

With that, I did read about the Scholarly Capstone project and the opportunity to pursue Basic, Translational, and Clinical research, but I cannot for the life of me find any specific research output or details on laboratories. Maybe I'm just the nontrad unc struggling to navigate the website, but I was hoping to have more insight on the research opportunities to mention in my secondary app. Has anyone had more luck finding specifics than i have?
