im going to call them to find that out if its not obvious after submission...most schools tend to want a paper copy of your approval though.

FYI if you get an interview at University of Rochester, then you will have a few essays to complete. If I remember correctly they are pretty standard essay question. At least that's how it was last year. Good luck!

Drexel makes you write during the interview?! Talk about increasing the stress on an already stressful day...

As long as you indicate on the secondary that you have a fee waiver then you are fine. nothing else to worry about. Thats what the office told me.
 
Can't wait to turn this in. But first, breakfast.
 
awesome. going to submit shortly... i love secondaries with no prompts!
 
after you submit, does your guys' status say "Brochure sent"?

it takes 24-48 hours to update the status so yes all of ours will say that until probably monday or so (unless they do stuff on the weekends)
 
This is officially my favorite secondary.:p

So.... how do you know when you're complete? Does it say complete, or does it say Payment Received?
 
Makes me sad that I couldn't check any box on that whole form.
 
Mine said that too, until today. It says payment received now.
 
Mine says "payment received" so I called U of Rochester and they told me that it's going to be updated soon.

They got ~600 applications just today so they told me that they are are quite busy.

lol blue...by that definition me and u are gunners ;). Sorta off topic but over the past 10 years apps have remained steady at about 45-49k. I think this year its going to reach the high 50k+. I really think the economy and uncertainty is going to push a huge number of applicants toward med. Great news for us :rolleyes:

I'm among that 600. I've been going back and forth with this school and finally decided to bite the bullet today.No secondary yet.
 
I didn't get any complete emails?
 
I got an email saying I was complete. Haha on the application portal it said an interview decision will be made by Jan. 20th. GREATTTTT
 
Mine says recommendations missing but I sent it through the AMCAS letter service.
 
Mine still says Payment Received.
