Hey! Do you mind maybe asking them if they are in fact waiting for CASPer scores to be released first?

Not officially confirmed, but a faculty member who used to be on admissions believes this to be the case.
 
I was notified by the admissions office they are still working on rolling out a new portal and it should be done any day now. As soon as that is done they will send secondaries out.
 
Secondary received. Two required essays. Prompts below. Both 500 word limit.

Nice, the day I check this specific school application thread is the day they start sending secondaries. Hoping for some OOS love!

Congratulations! Did you take the 6/28 Casper?
 
Does anyone know how long it takes CASPer to send scores to a newly added school? I know it takes 2-3 weeks to process after the test itself, but what about adding an additional school when scores are ready?
 
I don't think they're taking Casper into account for screening. I haven't taken it yet (taking it today) and I just got the secondary.
 
To everyone with secondary- what day were you amcas verified?
 
Still no secondary here - taking casper later today, verified pretty early in june :\
 
I was AMCAS verified 6/1, took casper 6/28 and still no secondary. Be patient my frens
 
Just got secondary!

Not sure what we're supposed to write for "Residency History." Does it mean if we've ever been a resident of Vermont or want a history of everywhere we've been a resident?

I dont think it takes for very long. I took CASPER 7/9 and added Vermont last week and just got secondary. Once the score is out, it should go to school pretty quickly

MSAR says they screen, but I don't know the criteria.
