Most likely. When you log into the portal they sent you it should say that they received all of your materials

Mine says "AMCAS: received Secondary: Received" and under letters of evaluation just a note about how letters have to be sent through AMCAS, etc. I might call them monday to make sure. Thank you!

does anyone have an idea about the fee waiver turnaround for ohio state?
 
I called and asked because I was unsure, but they said my application was complete, including LoRs.

Just wanted to verify. My MCAT 2015 scores are not listed yet, but it says my AMCAS application and secondary are both received, with the same thing you had about the letters. Is this showing up for everyone, despite it being complete? Or should I call and ask them to verify?

This happened to me too! I took the old MCAT back in the day and it's actually showing that score instead of my updated 2015 ones on the 'my profile' page! I just emailed AMCAS to let them know I ain't about that old score life, but I haven't heard back yet.

Go back a page or so in this thread, what shows up on the status is not correct (I have 2 MCATs, only my old one shows up). I sent an email a couple of weeks ago, and OSU is aware, and I now have an II!! No worries, the problem is on the OSU status page.

should I email them too, or are they doing a system-wide fix?
 
What's the password for the Application Status Tracker? Do we get it in an email?
 
First letter of your first name - last six digits of your AMCAS ID- last letter of your last name - first two digits of your AMCAS ID
 
Use your AAMC ID number as your Login ID. Your password formula is: the FIRST LETTER of your AAMC LEGAL FIRST NAME + the LAST 4 digits of your AAMC ID NUMBER + the LAST LETTER of your AAMC LEGAL LAST NAME + the FIRST TWO digits of your AAMC ID NUMBER.
 
How can you tell that your application is complete?

My status is still "AMCAS received". Secondary submitted 7/22 and is marked "received". MCAT scores were loaded. LORs were submitted with AMCAS in June.

Should I call them to comfirm?
 
I'm confused. It seems like people have received and even completed their secondaries, but the first post has not been updated to include the prompts. Are these threads not being updated? And if that is the case, is there anywhere else I can go to find the questions? I'm pretty worried about being late in submitting my primary and I'd really like to get a jump on the secondaries if I can.

If you read through the thread, I'm sure someone has posted them at some point.
Same as last year tho

They told me that was complete and the letters don't show up on their portal.

As far as I can tell, only the questions from last year have been posted. Are they the same as this year's? If not, would you mind PMing me the questions if you happen to have them?

For anyone that confirmed their interview invite, did you get any sort of confirmation email or notification? My status page says confirmed but I just want to be sure before booking a flight. Thanks!

Nope, no confirm just on the portal, but I am driving so no flights. Did make a hotel reservation though.
 
Gahhhh please tell me that there are more people with the issue of apostrophes turning into question marks... It happened even after converting to plain text and previewing for errors with their check system. -_-
 
Secondary received and I'm complete as of yesterday! Would love love love an interview, almost went here for undergrad and I love Columbus and the campus, but alas, out of state tuition wasn't exactly in my budget. MCAT is a little on the low side with a 30, but 3.94/3.93 GPAs will hopefully show that I'm more than just one test!
I interviewed here last cycle as a white female with a 27 MCAT, so you definitely have a chance! (was WL and didn't get in, however. haha)
 
Very late. I didn't even get the generic email, I got a specific email from the secretary because I interviewed in the last week or two of the season. I interviewed on March 23, and got my invite about a week before that.
 
Definitely had the same issue with the apostrophes becoming quotation marks. Also, I definitely misread the demographics information for "father's parents" and "mother's parents" as "father" and "mother." ALSO, the application also kept closing on me without saving even though I pressed "save" multiple times. OOPS. Hope they don't mind too much 🙁

don't worry the quote thing happens all the time! and if it makes you feel better, I wrote 6 essays for Duke and realized I misspelled sensitive in one of them and left out a verb in another! this whole process is so stressful!
