Members don't see this ad.

I dont know, i did it? I didnt really think it mattered if it works now. I think they just gave themselves extra time to avoid 1093201389012 calls from insane pre med?

Doesn't work for me. What's your secret, Elijah?

 

[Appless]

Doesn't work for me. What's your secret, Elijah?

huh idk. I submitted like 1 hr ago and it worked...now i am a bit worried.

 

[BlueElmo]

Okay, I'm waiting till Wed. This is too fickle.

 

[LiveUninhibited]

No screening.

No screen sucks when the secondary is $100. 🙁

I see you in the thread for pretty much everywhere I've had secondaries from so far. Did you apply everywhere or did we happen to apply to the same OOS-friendly schools? 🙂

Probably the latter.😉

ok so i emailed upstate, they said you dont have to wait till wed, if you submitted and it works you are fine.

That's good to know. I'm still a bit nervous at submitting though...

What problems were people having with the LOR page?

 

[ziggyd0c]

hmm i got an email from them saying they're having difficulties and to "try again in a few days"

 

[nick_carraway]

My turn to ask a ******ed question. Upstate works now. When you pay online, did anyone enter the amount ($100) or leave it as $0?

Edit: Nevermind! I found the courage to hit the submit button and it won't allow $0, so $100 it is!

Yea but the Applied/Interviewed/Matriculated stats are good... so at least you won't have to spend money on an interview where your chance of getting in is 2%!

You should have tried 10 lol

I'm missing something, where do you pay online?

After you submit, there's a giant logo on the bottom of the signature page.

Let me know if the system says you've submitted afterwards, because mine doesn't.

 

[ziggydoc]

I just submitted the secondary, other than the fact that we HAVE to use snail mail for the signature page, it worked fine lol.

It says that I submitted, and I just got an email confirming.

From the email-

"IF YOU PAID YOUR NON-REFUNDABLE APPLICATION FEE ON-LINE, YOU DO NOT NEED TO SEND IN THE SIGNATURE PAGE OR THE APPLICATION FEE. Once your
application fee posts to your application, you will also receive an email
regarding any remaining missing application materials."

OH SNAP, Thanks dude, haha I def. missed that completely, umm, maybe it is a trick to weed out pre-meds that can't follow directions. Thank goodness I have SDN and peeps that read more carefully than I do.

Damnit. Thanks!

 

[CUSEguy88]

the extra dollar they charge for account activation is kind of douche-baggy on concept

 

[LOSAR]

my application status says incomplete..
anyone else have this? I submitted yesterday; got the email verification of payment, nothing else.

Same here. I'm sure it takes them a while to get everything updated.

it takes weeks normally to be complete as they have to get your lors, verify everything else, and deal with 3k+ applicants right now. Dont worry

Let me know if anything changes for you, I had the same problem, got the email saying fee paid, but no email saying I had completed my secondary. However, when I went online to check my status, it said something about "Application load process" in the notes section. But it said they had received it. But not my fee, even tho I got an email about it lol

application: supplemental load process

On their website, under "Tuition & Fees" there are part time and full time options.

Since when is there such a thing as "part-time med school"?

 

[BlueElmo]

Submitted. Such an easy secondary. Wish all secondaries were like this.👍

 

[PDtoMD]

Yes, they save the essays for those that receive the interview invite.

 

[BlueElmo]

what the hell. I'm not getting any confirmation.😕

 

[nick_carraway]

Took me until the next morning for anything to show up.

 

[BlueElmo]

Okay, my payment finally showed up.

 

[CUSEguy88]

anybody know when the interviews commence? like early septemberish?

 

[BlueElmo]

Never mind.

 

[Sharka]

Is anyone using AP credits for prereqs? My credit shows up on AMCAS for gen chem 1 but it's not specified on my university transcript. I hope this small thing won't prevent me from applying especially since I am a chem major.

At University of Illinois you have the option to "decompress" your first year and break it up into two years if you want.

I'm sure you'll be fine. You can use upper level courses for prereqs as well. So maybe use one of your other chem classes.

what is a baccalaureate degree?

 

[BlueElmo]

bachelor's degree.

 

[JonnyLaw]

do we need to enter our SAT score for the regular MD program?

 

[CdnHopeful]

How long after verification did it take for you to receive the secondary???

 

[Bhangra15]

my LOR says "LOR-PDF Upload" and my supplemental says "Supplemental Load Process" and the fee says "CC", but it still says my application is incomplete-does anyone else have this same status?

 

[BlueElmo]

my LOR says "LOR-PDF Upload" and my supplemental says "Supplemental Load Process" and the fee says "CC", but it still says my application is incomplete-does anyone else have this same status?

My LOR section is still blank.

 

[CdnHopeful]

Can you send more than TWO individual letters? Cause there's only space to fill out to LOR...

 

[dru2002]

Exactly the same.

 

[DRIN]

I sent 4 letters (2 in addition to what I declared on the secondary). It looks like they accepted all of them.

 

[CdnHopeful]

Also, if I'm planning to take the English course the summer prior to matriculation (next summer) How should I go about mentioning that? It seems bad to say that I aim to take it in the summer rather than during the school year.

Why? By taking a class in the summer and performing well shows that you are able to learn quickly since the sessions are shorter.

 

[DRIN]

No...The SAT is only useful for undergraduate admissions. Also, many people don't even take the SAT.

 

[c17h]

On my status page, my secondary still says "incomplete", but at the bottom of the page, it indicates that they've received my LORs, fee and secondary application and the corresponding dates that they received these documents....does anyone else have this problem?

Edit: Never mind. Just got my complete email an hour after I wrote this post.

 

[dru2002]

Just got a complete email.
