Okay tell me the layout on the supplemental app PDF doesn't add to the confusion:
I'm sorry to tell you, but I share your verified date and I got the secondary invite about a week later. I would reach out to them, but there is loads of time so
Hey I had the exact same problem and I called the office and they said they sent me the secondary but I could not find it anywhere. There must be some issue with their email. Once I made sure I was supposed to get the secondary I got the application website from a friend, requested a new password and submitted. I know it sucks but I'll be happy to give you the app site if you need it
I don't know for sure about Loyola, but people say this about many schools, and it isn't wholly true for most schools that people say this about. It is true in the sense that some schools are naturally more selective of high stat applicants because it seems like they could just be using a low or mid tier school as a "safety." It is not true in the sense that mid or low tier schools don't just screen these applicants out without reading their applications. Rather, they'll reject you if you don't do a good job of showing that you're actually interested in their school.
Same, we had advisors that do Pre-med stuff too, but were not that useful, only suggested classes to take, and the order to take them in. I used SDN and other resources, so I just wrote something similar to what you said. Seems sort of odd, especially for those of us who have been out of school for awhile.
They probably have not gotten to your application yet. I think you can tell by your status on the portal whether you have been reviewed and placed on hold, or whether you're still being reviewed.
My status says "currently being reviewed." but i think it has said that for a while lol
I'm pretty sure that is the status that means they aren't done reviewing it for the first time yet.
Yeah, I know they get a lot of applicants and most adcoms will tell you that your application isn't necessarily reviewed in order of when you submit them. I think some schools have multiple reviewers and others just have one, so you can't really predict how fast a particular reviewer will get to your app.
You could write about community service and it may answer the question, but it depends upon how you write about it. Did your community service change your outlook and make you more dedicated to the people around you? If so, did you communicate this in your essay?
All I can say is this question has already destroyed most who have come before you. We salute you.
I took the opportunity to give a history of my volunteership from high school to current, and how it changed me
IMHO, I have not received an II for this school yet., so take with a grain of salt.
Email!
Did it also show up on your portal?
No, but the portal will list when your secondary is received and you will get an 'under review' status when you log in.
congrats! are you IS?
Awesome! When were you complete??
