I'm still "Secondary Application Complete" since the same time.

Mine says this too. I don't mind waiting but I'm not even sure if my file is "complete" with them. As in they never sent a "complete" e-mail and they don't use that common portal that a lot of schools use with the checklist. Soooo now I'm not even sure if they have all my components or that phrase just reflects the fact that I completed the secondary essays/info.
 
Will people please share their stats? I'm an in state with a:
502 MCAT
3.44 Cumulative
3.77 Science GPA.

150 hours of shadowing with two physician letters of recommendation.
120 Volunteer hours in an ED


I want to know if I can stack up at all to the other IN state applicants who are actually looking to go here.

For those who have interviewed already, I know they said they'd call around 10 am for acceptances but did they say when it would be on the portal? I'm remembering 8 am but I'm not too sure

No, my portal hasn't changed yet but Monica said she would send emails and change portals tonight. I think they said they call only if you get accepted, so Congratulations!

EDIT: My portal has now changed!

Did anyone feel like what they wrote for their secondaries was similar to the experiences in the primary application? Still have not heard back and Im worried.

I think my secondary essays were well thought out, but it still says on my application "Secondary Completed" so I think they either just haven't gotten around to looking at more applications or they're going by how competitive the individuals are.

Pretty sure they go by how competitive the individuals are. "Many medical schools prioritize applications for review by GPA and MCAT information, regardless of the time during the admissions cycle that they were received." It's from their FAQ so safe to assume they are one of the "many medical schools" that do this.
