Please PM the essays or lack thereof to me when the secondary is available and I will update this.

Good luck to everyone applying!

 

[CellPowerhouse]

Just received the secondary. No essays.

 

[grey_wind]

I don't have a non-Mac in my house, guess I'm going to a library?

 

[CellPowerhouse]

I submitted using my the browser in the Gmail app, and I have an iPhone. It worked.

 

[slatewater]

I did it on a mac and it seemed to work. Have you guys checked that it went through? I looked at my application status and it says that neither the secondary nor the payment was received, even though I got a confirmation email for the payment at least

 

[CellPowerhouse]

+1 for the payment confirmation. I say we wait a bit, I vaguely remember reading in last year's thread that the application status wasn't automatically updated.

When I sign back in to the portal after submitting the secondary/payment, it brings me back to that first "Agree/Disagree" page. Is that normal?

Just came here to post the same thing


Did anyone get a complete email or just the payment confirmation?

Where can you check your application status?

 

[CellPowerhouse]

Just checked - last year's thread had the same questions. It seems even after submission and payment everyone last year could still go back to the first page of the secondary and edit the secondary/submit it again. I guess the system just takes a while to update, no need to worry for now!

And @MedBlue515, if you go to their website there should be a link to check application status. I doubt yours would be updated to say "secondary received," as again, this was an issue everyone came across last year.

Does anyone know if it's possible to change/update an answer in the secondary after paying? I reflected 0 years as NY resident when it should in fact read 20 🙁.

I would definitely email them about that, I am not sure

 

[ABecks1717]

So is the consensus that this secondary will still work on a Mac? Just wondering about whether or not I need to take a trip to the library.

 

[premeditated618]

Hey did anyone who received an amcas fee waiver submit this secondary? I know they gave instructions saying to stop after submitting, but since I did not pay, I've received zero confirmation of my submission 😕

I applied last year and was confused like you. I emailed them to confirm.

 

[Stephanopolous]

Secondary received yesterday.

 

[slatewater]

has anyone's status changed on the 'check your application status' page that's submission the secondary and paid?

I haven't received any confirmation yet either! Did you just click submit?! That's all I did but it's so different from other secondaries I feel like I messed up.

 

[premeditated618]

Yup, just hit submit and that was it lol. Still no confirmation but I think I'll give them a call in a few days to check if everything is ok!

That happens for everyone. I also did not receive a confirmation email but I emailed Mr. Rosso and he said that they had received it.

 

[CellPowerhouse]

Checked my status a few minutes ago and it now says my secondary and my payment have been received.

For the question "Did you grow up in a rural community?", if I grew up in a rural community for the first 8 years of my life before moving to a suburban community am I qualified to answer yes to this question? Thank you.

Good luck! I was a reapplicant to this school last cycle and now I am part of the class of 2019. 🙂

 

[slatewater]

anyone complete here or received a confirmation email? the site just says my secondary and payment have been received

 

[kilez12]

Trying to log in to the secondary website, but when I enter my AAMC ID they say "Invalid login credentials"... wut. lol

 

[CellPowerhouse]

Yup, I received an "application complete" e-mail on Tuesday.

 

[slatewater]

Yup, I received an "application complete" e-mail on Tuesday.

hmm interesting. I assume you completed the secondary/payment on the first day?

 

[breezy16]

I had submitted on the second or third day and received my confirmation on Monday.

 

[grizzlybird]

Same problem with me. I contacted admission advisor today, and he said try tomorrow because they are still having a computer issue. Don't know exactly what it is tho.

 

[CellPowerhouse]

hmm interesting. I assume you completed the secondary/payment on the first day?

Yep, submitted and paid about an hour after I received the secondary e-mail.

 

[slatewater]

Yep, submitted and paid about an hour after I received the secondary e-mail.

Yeah I did the same. I ended up emailing admission and they told me my application was complete, but they hadn't yet sent an email cause of the volume of applications

Alright mine finally works now, so yours should work too! :]]

When you log in to check your status- does it just bring you back to the application like you can retype it?

They have a separate website for checking your status:

[BeachBaby]

anyone know if ap credit counts for english pre req? according to msar it does but...

 

[Nontrad8]

i checked my status on the website and it says secondary application received and application fee received but application is not complete. I have also not received an application complete email. did this happen to anyone else?

 

[CellPowerhouse]

When did you submit? It took a couple of days before I received an application complete email + my status changed to complete.

 

[noflag]

i checked my status on the website and it says secondary application received and application fee received but application is not complete. I have also not received an application complete email. did this happen to anyone else?

I submitted on 7/3 and still have that status as well

 

[CellPowerhouse]

I submitted on 7/3 and still have that status as well

Are you still missing any letters/scores? I submitted 7/3 and e-mailed a copy of my green card 7/5. Mr. Rosso confirmed receipt of my e-mail 7/6, and I got the "Application Complete" e-mail 7/7.

nope i shouldn't be missing anything. All of my letters are in. Think i should call?

It is still pretty early and I imagine they're swamped with applications coming in - I say wait until the two-week mark.

 

[slatewater]

anyone who submitted their secondary the first day still not received a completed email/status? it'll be 2 weeks tomorrow, wondering if I should call

 

[taco152]

Submitted on the 9th and only received a payment confirmation.

I haven't received a confirmation yet either. But when I check the status is says my app is not complete? I emailed asked why because I did everything so I'm curious as to whats going on.

 

[runs4chocolate]

Me too! I emailed to asked what's missing but haven't heard anything back yet.
