July 30, 2018 - Mimi, Russyan
Now that primary applications are sent in and far out of our minds, take a moment to let yourselves breathe and relish in the fact that we are halfway through the medical school application process! So what comes next?
Tracking Secondaries with Google Sheets:
Before we start to draft out some secondary prompt answers it is important to take a moment and consider how you plan to organize your secondaries and responses when they come. Depending on how many schools you are applying to this cycle, there is a chance your inbox will be bombarded come July with all the school secondaries to fill out! It will save you a lot of time and effort to have a neat way to categorize each secondary you receive in order to track the status and submission of each one. Below are three sample formats through Google Sheets that you can use to help track your progress as the cycle moves forward. Feel free to use them or edit them so that they work well for you.
