Thanks for sharing, I am still waiting for verification. I assumed that they would send it out to everyone upon submission.

For those of you who completed this supplementary application, did you get a confirmation email upon submission? My "Submit Application" task still has a red X next to it, instead of the green checkmark it should have. Despite that, it says "Successfully submitted application." I had some weird error happen when I clicked submit, so I want to make sure that it did in fact go through, but I didn't get a confirmation email or anything like that as I have from some other schools.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I got a confirmation "secondary submitted" e-mail, as well as a "application complete" e-mail on the same day that I submitted. I also had the green checkmark at secondary submitted on the status page. When did you submit? I'd give it a few days before worrying if it says you submitted the application. I've noticed that almost all the delays in status updates I have had end up working themselves out automatically.

Unfortunately, I know absolutely nothing about them. I don't even know if a classmate is involved with them since that's the first time I've encountered that group's name. There is a contact listed on the Student Org webpage that you could try for a direct source of info for that group. For the most part, however, most of the health policy-oriented activities I see tend to come from the AMSA group.

Great to know! Thank you.
Apologies if this has been resolved already (didn't see anything from glancing through old replies), but is anyone else receiving a "500 Error Page" when attempting to upload their citizenship papers? Mine says, "Sorry, it appears the page you were looking for doesn't exist anymore or might have beeen moved!"
Edit: Nevermind, I figured out my issue. Either the file was too large or the system was rejecting my PDF file; I converted it to a jpeg file, and everything went smoothly.

For question 2b, if the duration of the activity is ongoing did you put the hours that you listed on AMCAS (through Aug 2015) or did you put hours up until today?
Thanks!
Thanks!
I did hours up until today, I felt like that was what they were asking for.
What can I do if I don't have any of the citizenship documentation?? I have an expired US passport, no US birth certificate (naturalized citizen), and no permanent resident card, since i'm a damn citizen. Do you think they will accept the expired passport? grumblemumblegrumble. thanks guys
I was in a similar situation and ended up uploading the certificate of naturalization. Hopefully that's proof enough lol
you should call them and ask

Were you naturalized through your parents? I automatically became a citizen because of my parents and apparently have no certificate of naturalization (according to my parents)...is that even possible? I just wonder how they even obtained a passport for me in the first place haha.
as long as you were under 18 when they became citizens then yes, that's possible
Nope, not through parents. I would assume that the U.S. Passport, though expired, is an acceptable proof of citizenship. You should try giving them a call or email as they suggest. I tried calling multiple times but failed to get a hold of anyone. Didn't want to delay the application so just went with certificate thing.
Ah, that makes more sense. I was very young and didn't know about any of this stuff. Thanks for you guys' help.. gonna upload the expired passport and hope that's proof enough.
had the same issue. I had to use my moms naturalization #
Complete! End of the secondaries is almost here! Must resist to apply to more..
Is it really fine to just submit a picture of your passport page or something? I feel like I'm overanalyzing because they say "photocopy" specifically...but a picture provides the same information -_-
Thanks y'all
Thanks y'all
That first question doe. Seriously these character limits are insane.
I tried to photocopy it but for some reason the scanner would only make it like 3 inches big.. so I included that photocopy plus a photograph of my passport page. I guess it's essentially giving the same info?
Good stuff. I just emailed them and they responded that it was fine to just have a picture!
How are you guys answering these questions in 1000 characters...ugh
they give you 1000 characters for a reason... they don't want your life story, just some facts about you. You make it seem like these 1000 characters are meant to blow them away
Well trying to explain 5 attributes and life experiences that I have had in less than 200 words is more or less a list.
^^^ same!

Have you tried uploading it as a jpeg file? I initially had trouble with my pdf, but jpeg went through with no problems.
All of my files are jpeg and around 20kb so I'm not sure what's going on..
Hm, I'm not sure either. I just looked at my file and it's 455 KB.
yeah that's what I think? I made my photo the right dimensions and everything. I sent them an email but they probably won't get back to me until Monday 🙁
Yeah, changing the size/making it to like 52 kb didn't work for me either. Just keeps saying "the disk has no more space left." Does anyone else have any other suggestions? I've also tried PDF with no success.
I thought I read somewhere on either this thread or another schools to make the file a .gif? Just an idea to try!
I tried any apparently the file can only be a PDF, JPEG, or DOC..... thank you though! I'll probably just have to wait and call them on Monday.
They actually do not provide a phone number for the medical school admissions office. The phone number that they provide for the medical school is for students only apparently, and if you have application questions, they make you send an email lol.
I was having the same issues with disk space, but the pictures just successfully uploaded. May have been a problem on their end.
