1) If school was on quarter system, for credit hours earned..do I list the semester or quarter credits?
2) So if you have a letter from a volunteer supervisor, what do you do for slots like course name/number?

I only just got under review on 8/6 after submitting two weeks ago. Thanks, AMCAS letters, for not sending stuff that I told you to send back when I applied.

On a lighter note, I was visiting a friend in NY and decided to swing by since it was on the way. I sent lots of good vibes around the school, lol.
 
When I check, there is a blank after Letter Received, and it says "In order to view your received evaluations your secondary application must first be processed by the Admissions Office."
Secondary submitted 7/15
Primary verified 7/25
But thanks!

The complete secondary looks like this (in the middle of the page):
LETTER RECEIVED:
07/30/2013 from Dr. X
07/30/2013 from Dr. Y
07/30/2013 from Dr. Z

** Your Secondary Application was completed on 07/30/2013 and is currently under review. **
Judging by the dates, they enter the letters manually as they process the secondaries.
And it looks like it takes them 2 weeks and more to process an application.

Any interview invites yet??
 
My secondary was received on 7/15 and my verified primary app is also received. But none of my letters are being shown in the application status page and it's not saying that I'm complete..is anybody having similar issues? Is NYMC just slow at processing secondaries or is there a glitch with my app?

I'm in the exact same boat. Secondary received 7/15. Primary verified. Still nothing on the status page.

last year, ii started aug 7, so hopefully some action this week. i imagine a lot of schools will send stuff out this week. or at least i hope.
 
Same problem here as well! Secondary submitted sometime in early-mid July and AMCAS verified August 1st.

I'm in the exact same boat. Secondary received 7/15. Primary verified. Still nothing on the status page.

Mine has the secondary submission date, my LOR names, and something that says that I'm complete and under review. It's in very fine print under the "Letters Received" section.
 
Does anyone know if NYMC is receptive to an "in the area" email, and if so should it be sent to the admissions email address?
 
If you have a letter from someone that taught you in more than one course, do you just pick one to enter in the course information? Should I just list how many credits that one course is, or the total with that instructor?

Also, did people on the quarter system convert their credits or list them exactly as they appear on transcripts? I've seen the question posed a few times on here, but no answer.
 
I sent in my secondary about a month ago, and my primary was verified almost 2 weeks ago and it still says my secondary hasnt been processed yet. do they wait until the primary is received to process the secondary?

So I sent in my secondary on 7/16, my primary was verified on 7/23, and it STILL is blank after the "LETTER RECEIVED" heading. Should I call?

I tried to squeeze in all the courses that I took with the prof, luckily it fits, and I totaled the credits of the courses, lol not sure how others did it.

Listed exactly on transcript, again not sure how others did.

I tried to squeeze them all in, but the course numbers wouldn't all fit. I finally ended up just picking one. Hopefully the prof mentions that I took his course for an entire year somewhere in the letter.

Submitted yesterday. Hooray!
 
I'm in the same boat and turned in my stuff the same day you did


I called and told the lady when I submitted and asked if it was normal to wait this long for the letters to be updated. She said yes, and that it takes 4-6 weeks because they manually go through them....and then the call dropped. So sitting at about 4 weeks now, I guess we just gotta sit tight for a bit.

I think you should. I submitted on 8/2 and my status changed two days ago.

Strange. Maybe they make IS applicants a priority when doing this...

Thanks for the update.. I was about to call too cause I was worried .. It's been a month for me since I submitted my sec
 
Interviews do not begin until October, so no sense in worrying about II's not coming in yet people.
 
I finished the secondary in July and was verified on August 1st or 2nd and I still am not complete. Im in-state

It seems like the ppl who are still waiting to be complete sent in their secondaries prior to being verified... Hmm...
