2024-2025 Dell

Dell Med does not use a written secondary application, but will screen applicants and offer those they are interested in an invitation to complete a video-response secondary.
Dell only sends secondaries to about 20% of applicants.

Good luck to everyone applying!

Anyone know when to expect any word from Dell? Either being a rejection or invite for secondary (I know only 20% get one)

Take a look at last year’s thread for a general idea. In the past they have sent out small numbers of secondary invitation emails intermittently between June and December!
As I said last year, don’t hold your breath on Dell but treat it like a pleasant surprise if you get one.

for reference they said they sent the secondary invite too early (before the secondary opened. ) so i, and probably everyone else, won't get the official invite for a couple weeks! stats are 3.9/522

Darn I didn’t get one


Just curious since I might as well prewrite for it just in case, but are you able to view the prompts before recording the video, or is it more like a video interview where you can’t know anything until you record

you get the prompts right before you record, and no do-overs.
They ask you not to share prompts.
They sprinkle their secondaries out over months and months so just carry on with your other schools for now.

Does anyone know if there is anything in particular that we should prepare for with the secondary? Obviously don't share prompts if you've done it but should we just prepare general interview question responses or focus on something in particular?

I got a secondary invite as well and I have a 3.5/516 so you definitely shouldn't feel inadequate! There's so much to this process that we aren't aware of, and trying to figure out the rules to the secret game of admissions that adcoms play isn't worth the time or stress that you'd face. It's still incredibly early in the process and like others have said, Dell sends out secondaries in small batches throughout the upcoming weeks so don't freak out! Trust the process and everything will be ok.
