has anyone received secondaries?

no

If I got 5 in AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC in high school, do I still need to take Calculus during undergraduate coursework as Prerequisite for HMSOM?

Received the invite today!

Invite for an interview or a secondary? Quite the big difference there

Sorry lmao I meant the invite for a secondary *

Shew!!! The sleeping bears are awakening!

+1 oos md secondary on 7/21

anyones status still say pending review???

mine is

I legit can't find any information about the school... can somebody give the rundown

not unless something has changed since I got admitted 3 y/a, but might want to double check

Basic rundown is this:

P/F preclinical, though not quite true P/F anymore as there are internal rankings including preclinical. Accelerated track which includes 1.5 year preclinical and finishing clerkships in Nov of M3.

From there, you have the option to do a traditional 4th year, complete a dual degree at no extra charge on top of tuition, or go straight to residency after 3 years. The straight to residency option is only in certain specialties (but far more than just primary care) and within the Hackensack network (so NJ).

The school has a program called Human Dimension that pairs you with a chronically ill community member for the duration of med school to follow and meet with. Culminates in a capstone project.

One of the more expensive schools out there

For more in depth info I would suggest checking out reddit, the school website, or MSAR

My application was marked complete today (as in nothing is pending review anymore)

Does this school screen for secondary?

When did you submit?

+1 app complete, submitted 7/21

7/21, the first day I received the secondary.

were your LORS also pending review? both LORS and initial screening say pending review for me, i submitted 7/22

To anyone else waiting on Hackensack secondary, assign LoRs to them

How can you assign them? I thought AMCAS automatically sends them all

No, it doesn’t. You need to individually assign for each school on AMCAS unlike AACOMAS. By default it sends none.

Sorry, to clarify, I assigned letters to every med school through AMCAS the day I submitted 5/28 and every other school except Hackensack has received my LORs, so I don’t think it’s that

Hmm. No idea. I just discovered this trick worked for Hackensack because it’s the only one that hadn’t sent secondary and I know they don’t screen. As soon as LoRs were assigned it triggered the send.

My app is still pending pre req verification even though I haven't had any pre req issues and know that I have everything reuired, does anyone else have this issue?

Yes, i’m still waiting on it too

same, no pre req verification yet or LOR verified yet after submitting secondary

it took quite a while for them to process mine

My app was just verified (submitted 7/21) and they confirmed by email that my application is now under review. The LOR and pre-requisite verification took a couple weeks it seems.

Same I think they just locked in lol

Does Hackensack require preview or casper? On their site it just talks about preview but doesnt seem to explicitly state required...unless I am missing that somewhere
