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.
 
@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?
 
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.

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

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!
 
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
 
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

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?
