Secondary Applications

These applications are unique to each medical school and are provided to applicants by invitation only. The decision whether or not to provide an applicant with a secondary is the "first step" in the admissions process. This decision is based on information contained in the common application (see above). The secondary is then used in conjunction with the common application to determine whether or not an invitation to interview will be offerred.

Unfortunately, the secondary from one school will likely differ dramatically from the secondary from another school. This variation creates a lot of additonal work for applicants. Many secondaries are lengthy, requiring essays written about very specific topics. The more specific the secondaries, the more difficult it is for applicants to recycle information such as essays when filling out multiple forms. However, many secondaries are extremely short requiring only a signature and answers to a few simple questions.

The bulk of your time during the application process will be spent filling out senondaries. If you are applying to large number of schools, it will require great discipline and strong organizational skils to complete the secondaries on time.
