My status says "Interview: not scheduled yet." with a little lock icon. Is that what they all say?

Yeah, it's not super informative, I just always look for some kind of recognition that my app is complete after I submit, so I know I'm not missing anything. So with the absence of a complete email, I always look for a status tab in the portal.

I did receive a "secondary received" email that said "This acknowledgement email means that all of your documents have been received and a preliminary review has taken place." It also said not to use the apply.howard.edu site to look for updates. All updates will be sent via email.

Called Howard and she said that they have interviews in the next week. I didn't know even know that they started sending out invites already.

Says the connection is not private and that the website may be impersonating "apply.medicine.howrd.edu" to steal your personal or financial information.

Can somebody post the link to the secondary, something might be off with mine

Oh...that. Yeah, mine has been doing that since the beginning (using Chrome web browser). I've had to bypass the message every time I access my application.

Asking Anything:
I literally just noticed today that HUCM prereqs require 6hrs of Math, my university required only 3. I have 4hrs from the math department, but I also took Quantitative Methods (4hrs) which is basically a statistics class tailored to psychology. Is this a difference you think the admissions committee will accept?

Apparently Howard folks are some of the most easy-going, chilled and supportive...they invite you--they want you...especially this early of an interview invite. Enjoy. You're Gold.

I really hope, but i've seen some people on SDN in my years of lurking make it to the interview and not get accepted. Thanks for the support.

Damn, i am starting to believe that Howard places more emphasis on the gpa!! Everyone who got a II has had a 3.4+ gpa

Could be? I thought it was based off EC's and interests in working in underserved communities. I stressed that in every part of my application including personal statement plus my EC's backed it up a lot. I have no idea how any of this works. I decided to apply this cycle last minute and on a whim.

You should be fine. If anything, just try to explain during your interview if you get an II.

Most people in my current class have lower GPAs than that (including me). Of course, it always helps to have a higher MCAT if you have a lower GPA and vice versa. If you have both a low GPA and MCAT, it'll be more based on luck.
 
Received the secondary screened/reviewed email, a week after submission.
 
I keep trying to check the portal today and I get this message. Same from chrome and microsoft edge. Is anyone else getting this issue? It used to warn me that it was unsecure, but now its refusing to even let me proceed now.

Meeee...added them about end of September and no secondary yet
Click to expand...

They've had my primary since early August and I still haven't received. My committee letter came in late September, so maybe that's what it is, but I'm trying to call them to see if this is normal. I'll let you know what I hear.
