Everyone that rec'd a secondary were you already verified? Hoping I get verified this week. No secondary yet from uconn.

 

[cresent]

yes. Verified on July 9th

 

[UmbcPremed]

Verified yesterday, secondary received today! Anyone know if they screen? Good Luck everyone

I received a secondary last week. It appears that UConn releases them in batches. On their supplemental portal, it says that they do not start reviewing completed applications until August, so for those who have not received a supplemental request yet-- do not worry!

 

[Albanian24]

How many of you guys are from CT? 🙂

 

[UmbcPremed]

I am not!

 

[Albanian24]

How can you tell if UConn's received your LOR's and your application is complete? Do you receive a "complete" email?

 

[boogiecousins94]

Just submitted, from CT and went there also!

 

[PreMedHeart]

How can you tell if UConn's received your LOR's and your application is complete? Do you receive a "complete" email?

I got an email saying "successful submission" two weeks ago and that my application will be processed after my payment is complete. I haven't received a "complete" e-mail though. I'm a FAP recipient so somewhat confusing, but no email that says complete yet!

 

[boogiecousins94]

in the portal it says complete stage with a date. go to medical admissions, overview, app status

That was super helpful! Thank you!

 

[boogiecousins94]

Is it worth applying here as an oos with no connections to connecticut? I'm from a new england state if that helps.

Maybe if you have really high stats, but I guess NE is better than a random state but honestly not sure who the OOS people are who get interviews

I am not from CT either

 

[RecklessStarfish]

Anyone hear anything? Looking back at previous year's threads UConn should have been sending out invites for a while now.

Thank you. I have done my own work. I feel like my chances are pretty good for a couple of the schools. I was just trying to get opinions from others. I didn't know asking opinions was the incorrect thing to on this forum.

Just got the post-interview survey email and my heart almost stopped, even though I know they won't be reaching out until Oct. 15.

 

[EAGLESK93]

Anyone know if they accept pre-II updates?

They said the same at my interview. The word "should" gives me anxiety lol.
