Good luck everyone! Anyone else applying ED to UConn?

I just submitted my secondary and received a confirmation email from UConn about my payment and supplemental info completion. However, when I go back to my secondary portal, all of my previous answers to the secondary questions are gone/blank... Is this normal? I'm just worried I sent blank text boxes in with my secondary even though I originally had everything filled out before submitting. Let me know if this happens to you after submitting.

Where are you accessing your submitted secondary? I only see the option to view my admission status that says I've been complete since day whatever.

First choice up in this beach, can't beat that IS tuition!

@zhonghang @doctorleospaceman

Submitted the secondary. I agree, with you zhonghang. After I submitted and tried to look over my responses they were blank. I think we're both fine and that our responses were sent correctly and that the system just defaults everything to blank.

Doctorleospace, under the Medical Admissions Tab, under Overview on the left click on supplemental status. Then go to Pay Application Fee...

For me it says that both the Supp App and the Fee are both "In Progress" even though I submitted and paid already. Is that what you guys have?

Is there no space allotted to explain ties to the state? Any thoughts if it would be appropriate to write in the second question?

 

[K9TestRun]

Secondary Submitted! Hoping for IS love

 

[thelinesofpeace]

IS, received secondary today!

 

[Tardis42]

For those of you getting secondary's, what were your stats? If you don't mind me asking

I'm applying MD/MPH. do I check the MPH box below or do I just check the MD box first? I read on the website you need to be accepted as MD first before you apply for the combined program. Little bit confused.

[huskies403]

@rolliespring
I am 99% sure you check off combined to show that you intend on pursuing a dual degree. I'm in the same boat

 

[FindingNismo]

I'm only applying regular MD, but I agree with huskies403, you just check off the box for your intended dual degree.

 

[FijiGNR89]

Fourth year UConn Med student here, happy to answer questions. I'll try my best to check the forum regularly, but you're likely to get a quicker response by PMing me

 

[FindingNismo]

Anybody hear back?

 

[zhonghang]

Anybody hear back?

I'm curious too. In the past, UConn has typically started giving out II in July. Thought they would've started by now.

Last year's thread's first II was 8/19, was that an anomaly?

 

[zhonghang]

Last year's thread's first II was 8/19, was that an anomaly?

I'm pretty sure 8/19 was the second batch of II's. According to the first page of last year's thread, II's were first received on 7/30.

 

[doctorleospaceman]

uconn...please love me

 

[leagueofDravenMD]

Secondary submitted!!!

 

[Inept]

Here we are on 8/19...will there be IIs? Who knows!

Was today the first date they sent out II's last year?

 

[Inept]

There were some on 7/30 last year and then another wave on 8/19. I was half joking about the 8/19 thing, but based on previous years there really should be IIs any day now.

Part if it could be the new curriculum, thus new admissions process i'm sure. They are jumbling the new curriculum, with still keeping the admissions process afoot as well.

Let's remain hopeful for hearing soon!

 

[FindingNismo]

Damnit people. somebody mentioned that interviews were extended 8/19 last year so when i saw this thread was recently updated I almost had a stroke.

Anyways. I believe they work with early action people first and then move on to the regular pool. perhaps there's more of those people than usual? I don't know.

UConn i thought your motto was huskies forever just let me be a husky forever cmon

 

[huskies403]

Has anyone heard anything yet?

 

[stradivarius21]

Has anyone heard anything yet?

Darnit I got really excited that you got an II

 

[leagueofDravenMD]

Nothing yet.... I wasnt complete until just 2 weeks ago though.

 

[intellectualedema]

There's going to be II's next week... there has to be II's next week...

 

[FindingNismo]

I hope one of us hears some good news! Otherwise, we might want to think about calling up Jonathan the Husky to see if he can write LORs on our behalf

 

[huskies403]

No worries guys! I called and can confirm no interviews have been sent out yet. However, I failed to get an indication when they will be sent

 

[FindingNismo]

Huskies403, the hero we need. I'll follow-up in a little bit

 

[huskies403]

Received interview via e-mail and scheduled for next Friday! FYI I'm applying ED so I would not worry if you haven't gotten a date yet. Let interview season begin!

Do they typically send out ED IIs before regular decision?

[heyhitherewhatsup]

Did anybody get a notification that they received the recommendation letters?

 

[doctorleospaceman]

Did anybody get a notification that they received the recommendation letters?

No, UConn isn't great with notifications.

Complete since early July, still nothing. This thread has been pretty quiet though. Perhaps another wave of IIs will come soon!
