When asking to list courses, is it okay if we didn't necessarily do well in the course.... For example, I think my biochem class fits the biology description well but I got a B- in the course.

EDIT: I take that back.... It looks like biochem is for the chemistry section!!!

RU RAH RAH!

Awwh yeah, buddy! Always good to see some Rutgers love.

Yeah... Sorry that happened 🙁 I would recommend just doing it all, then click submit and wait until it goes through. Don't try to save anything!

This thing is not saving... The others are right!

 

[CharmanderMD]

I got it! I was beginning to think it was a myth.... Like a yeti or a Bigfoot.

But it's here!

 

[hoihaie]

lol... just realized they need a non-science letter. OH well!

 

[gtbROX]

Still waiting for secondary...Primary complete on 08/11/14.

 

[cmlanz]

Finally got this secondary! Hellooo Friday night!

 

[farnell]

Finally got this secondary! Hellooo Friday night!

It shouldn't take more than 45 minutes to finish. JK the website is going to crash you'll be there all night.

I've been trying to submit since last night but I keep getting a timeout expired page when I try to start the application.

Anyone else getting this or is just me?

 

[umbrellaapp]

Do it in the middle of the night. Submitted at 1am, no problems.

 

[halodos]

Same. Can't even check my status.

For everyone's information I submitted 8/13 and was verified 8/20.

 

[CharmanderMD]

They might as well send an adcom to my house to take a cheese grater to my face. This is beginning to feel like torture.

 

[letsgoblue2015]

was this secondary designed by a ****ing 2 year old? ****ing thing times out whenever i try to save.. ****ing piece of ****

 

[claduva94]

Withdrawing. This is absurd.

 

[jjtheairplane]

This just might be worse than temple.

 

[cCalculus]

Haha I had clicked the submit and finalize button and the chrome icon had the "loading" wheel for probably 20 minutes.

After the 20 minutes the it DOES get submitted and the application is finalized though. If you really want to complete it now just keep waiting haha.

And the 20 minutes was not an exaggeration, it was probably longer than that.

Mine was going for 40 mins to no avail so I just closed out.

Yeah I know that feeling. I actually checked the time between my last post, and it was 57 minutes so it probably took me somewhere around that time.

I think if you really want to just have this complete and keep letting it run it should eventually process.

 

[joonage]

eh ... at least you guys got secondaries. lol

 

[AspiringERMD]

My status on the portal just changed to complete.

 

[exmoderpina]

With all dat secondary moneys, they should at least be able to hire a decent coder/get some servers for this secondary.

 

[ridethecliche]

If I get any more interviews I just won't fill this one out. This is getting ridiculous

Humblebrag 😛

 

[claduva94]

Humblebrag 😛

Yeah and I apologize :/ In my defense I withdrew from 3 other schools before I got interviews. I just cannot deal with this secondary. 😛

 

[sunflower18]

I'm not going to fill out this secondary either. I don't know enough about the school to justify spending this much money and time. Good luck everyone though!!

[stickshifthonda]

You're all doing it wrong- click submit on the computer, and go watch an episode of Orange is the New Black!!

It's like magic, the second the episode ends ta daaaaa your secondary is submitted 🤣

 

[Don'tStopMeNow]

I'm not going to judge too much, but I think it would be easier to just wait until an odd time of day and do it. I know it might be hard for some people to give up that 6-12 hour edge, but that's just me.

Honestly, if you have your average hours already calculated (as I did for another applications) the thing takes 10-20 minutes. I read what was going on here, waited, and submitted it at 1:30AM (central). It didn't time out once.

What you have is a system that is overwhelmed by a large number of attempts. As people time out and refresh they are creating more stress on the system... which creates more time outs and more refreshes. A drove of anxious medical applicants turns into a DoS attack.

[Don'tStopMeNow]

Go play videogames... for your health.

 

[Ace Khalifa]

Still don't have the secondary. I'm probably just gonna withdraw. I know I wouldn't tolerate a slow-ass website for long.

I utilized this exact strategy to "submit incomplete form" but with "American Dad!" 🙂
