CMS e-mailed me this morning to tell my app was complete. I guess that's how they do it?
ok yeah i got an email too, only mine is about being incomplete (letter of eval not in ) =[
i emailed them asking if they have a website. waiting to hear back

Loyola isn't any where close to China Town, although it is closer than RFU.
It was tough for me too.
I get a feeling (and I could be wrong) that with so few words to explain, they are looking for a specific answer. My diversity is more of "experience working with diverse people" and I can't possibly fully explain it in 100 words.
Secondary submitted! I can't believe how much shorter these prompts were than the ones from last year. That isn't to say that this year's were any easier to write. Good luck everyone!

Complete email earlier today. I liked the prompts since I didn't have a whole lotta write about these vague questions.
On their actual website (non-secondary website), it says "No more than 3...=O"

I never got an email confirming complete status. Does anyone know how long it takes till this happens? I submitted on Sunday.
Mine took 5 days, but judging by the pattern of posts here it seems like they do them in batches.

I submitted the very first day you could, 6/27, and still have not received the complete email. My last letter of recommendation was sent Monday, so I am waiting until next Monday to think about emailing or calling them.
Dang I just called, and they said they will only take 3 LoRs... -_-
Think I'm just gonna send 3 just to be safe. Oyyyyy
Whoops. I already sent five.
Yeah I don't think it should hurt you though. They'll probably just pick and choose which ones to read...which I'm sure many schools already do lol. Like if you sent in 7 LoRs...I honestly don't think there is a guarantee/rule that they have to read ALL of them ya know? XD
Yeah I don't think they do. At most they probably glance over them except for maybe the committee letter.
Me too...oops
Weird. Conflicting info.
I know right? That's not cool =/
Just applied.
I submitted mine six days ago and I am not yet "complete."
I submitted mine 7/7 and still no complete email either...
I submitted mine 7/5 received complete email on 7/9
They probably are getting more and more apps through the days which is delaying the process.. you guys shud be complete soon.

Any idea when II started last year? I can't find the thread that lists earliest invites.
8/28/13
Really? This link below clearly states that no more than three letters will be considered.
http://www.rosalindfranklin.edu/Degreeprograms/AllopathicMedicine/appNeeds.aspx
Not to be overly curt, but in the grand scheme of things, I wouldn't worry too much. If they only accept three letters and they don't accept more than three letters, they will likely take the first three you send them. If they do, they will take all of them.
Just make a choice and stick with it. Don't call the school incessantly about this one point. We've established that a representative from the school has said one thing and the website says another, so choose which one you want to believe and go for it. I know all of you have better things to do.
I submitted mine on 7/7, but I still haven't gotten a complete email yet. How long has it taken everyone else to be marked complete?
you're going to be discouraged a lot because this is sdn and there's a lot of unnecessary elitism, discouragement and snobbery on this site due to heads embedded up their buttocks, but give it your best shot. if you dont get in try and work on the mcat and reapply.
I have always been my greatest critic so not sure the discouragement will change my ind at all. Thanks though. I understand my GPA's on the lower end, I had a really tough go around with Orgo II and got a D in the class (i was working 30+hours a week that semester and just couldn't catch on). I retook it and got a B+ while taking the hardest classes yet in the same semester. I finished quite strong at Loyola University Chicago my last 21 credits there I had
BIO 242 Anatomy/Phys I - B; BIO 319 Evolution - A; CHEM 224 Orgo II - B+; PSYC 305 Brain/Behavior B+; STAT 335 Biostats A-; BIO 243 Anatomy/physiology II A.
I'm hoping my strong finish will warrant a strong look at my application
Strong finish? I see Bs in there...
Will you let us know what they say? I submitted 2 weeks ago and still haven't gotten a compete email
See post #123. It seems that since I've contacted them they've changed their tune to only 3 letters. As you point out the website now seems to reflect this as well. If you haven't sent already, I would recommend adjusting accordingly.
Marked complete today. Submitted secondary on 7/9.
did you find this out via email? thanks 🙂
Yes, via email. Do they have a portal?
