Have you completed the rest of the application? That question makes more sense at the end because your application will tell you whether any of the competencies are incomplete. If there are some that are incomplete, this question is where you explain why.

Hi, thanks for the info! I have completed everything in my application besides this last question. I honestly don't know how to answer this question... I guess I am good to submit if I feel comfortable with what is in my work/activities section? All the things that are on there have been fulfilled (if that is what the question is asking) or I am still involved (i.e. volunteering/research). I still don't know if I am understanding this correctly though.

There is a portion of the application that will ask questions like "insert which activities you have taken part in that fulfill the leadership competency" and you can select one of your AMCAS activities. If you do not have an activity that fulfills the requirement, you will use this last question to explain yourself.

Ahh.. I understand now. Thank you for helping clear that up! much appreciated.
 
Did anyone get an email of completion upon submitting the secondary? I didn't receive one and just wanted to check if that's the norm.
 
Hi all,

Has anyone received any notifications of their secondary being received/pending review? I submitted mine almost two weeks ago. Thanks!

It's been 1.5 months since I submitted my secondary, and I haven't heard anything 🙁 radio silence ...
 
I submitted my secondary the first week of August and haven't heard anything. No need to worry yet 🙂
 
OOS, rejected yesterday. Based on what I'm seeing in this thread, they rejected a lot of people outright yesterday, including what appears to be quite a few strong in-state applicants. Takes the sting away from my R a little bit, but I feel for you guys who were IS.
 
I guess radio silence is a good thing then because it means they are still considering you for an interview. Keeping my fingers crossed! >A< I still haven't received any II as well...

R because they think you will get into Harvard because you deserve it! 🙂

haha love the enthusiasm. Thank you! Guess I should add Harvard to my school list 😉. All kidding aside, I'm hoping that I wasn't rejected for "yield protection" reasons. I legitimately will consider going to any MD and my very low sGPA is what is causing me to apply conservatively. Best of luck to the interviewees in this thread!
 
II OOS, LM 70, complete ~7/30

Did you guys ever get an email stating you were complete for this school? On the portal, it says they have received everything I had to submit through the portal. However, my LOR was the last thing I had to for all the schools I applied too. Most schools sent me an email stating I was complete and being reviewed. Yet, I have not heard anything from this school and am wondering if they ever received my LOR. The reason I am asking is that I just received an email from another school stating I was still not considered "complete" and that I was either missing my CASPer or LOR. The CASPer portal says all the schools have received my results. Therefore, I speculate some schools may have not received my letters? Could anyone shed some light as to how they knew they were complete for this school, please?
 
I don't think I ever got a complete e-mail and I have an II. Just e-mail them if you're not sure. They were pretty responsive to my emails

My letters were the last thing in for me, never got a complete email, but I got a II so clearly they got mine (there was about 3-4 weeks in between letters in and invite). Everyone there seems really nice though so I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to ask!
 
Has anyone that has interviewed here already comment on it? Was it laid back? What general types of mmi stations? Was there a lot of opportunity to talk with students and staff? Thanks!

No CASPR for either Arizona school.

Basic MMI with adequate time to elaborate but not really get into too many other topics. You start out with a breakfast/coffee with student hosts and also see them for lunch and the campus tour. Tons of time with current student and they were really great.
