Did people who submitted secondaries receive complete emails? I submitted 7/7 and haven't heard anything about my app being complete even though the status shows everything in on the portal. I have not been receiving the emails about the interviewing or shadowing so I am guessing this may be why?

I received an email on 7/7 indicating that my secondary was received and will be reviewed for completion. Everything shows complete in the portal, but I haven’t received an actual complete email either yet.

So submitting one primary to any location will put you into consideration for all the locations, am I understanding that right?
Click to expand...
Yes as long as you indicate which locations you want to be considered for in the secondary you only need to submit 1 primary

Alrighttyyy so I emailed them a little while ago and they got back to me (super nice by the way): they have my MCAT score on file, and my application is still being reviewed to see if they want to send me a secondary. She said it can take a while because of the large applicant pool. So I imagine all the others who are waiting for a secondary are in the same boat. I think if they wanted to outright reject us, they would have.

Are they marking application as complete WITHOUT the MCAT scores or not?

Did you all receive a complete email or are you just marked complete on the portal? I haven't received anything since the email stating that they would review my application for completeness, etc.

Is there anyone else who submitted their secondary around 7/7 with all necessary materials and has not received a complete email? My application is complete under the status tab so I am unsure whether to reach out.

I submitted 7/26 but haven’t received a complete email yet. I’m OOS as well
 
Congrats on the II's everyone! Does anyone know how long it takes them to decide if they're giving you a secondary if you're one of the applicants who they're reviewing further pre-secondary?

Wondering the same! I submitted 7/13 and haven’t received a secondary yet either.

I emailed them on July 23rd about not receiving a complete and was told that they have a lot of applicants and it may be delayed due to that. I got the "Thank you for sending your secondary" email on 8/10. For reference, I submitted my secondary app on June 29th so it's taking them a WHILE!

I submitted in mid June so I'm getting worried... the only thing that's holding me up (I imagine) is that my sGPA is 3.18 and if you're under 3.2 they put you in the "further review" pile...

Yeah same! I submitted mine a week or so later but I feel you. No complete email here either.

I submitted my secondary 7/27, but have yet to receive a complete email. For those that have received a complete email, how long did it take?

Are II only communicated by phone, or do they also send an email?
 
Got an email 3 weeks ago that says I'm missing LOR, got my LOR uploaded 2 weeks ago and it still doesn't show up on the portal. Should I email them to let them know they've sent it in or would they review it again soon for completion?

I never got a complete email, just in the portal. But the admissions staff confirmed I was complete in their email response to me

I was wondering the same thing. I submitted my secondary the first of the month but just had my physician letter uploaded a couple days ago. I think I'll just email them since it seems like they're pretty receptive
