What are the prompts?
Haven’t been able to log in because I haven’t received the password reset link but will post as soon as I’m able to access the portal!
Is anyone else having issues accessing the secondary? When I enter my AMCAS number to create a new password it says an email has been sent to the email associated with my AMCAS ID with a link - However no email is coming through?? (Not in junk folder either)
EDIT: I see @notthrowingawaymyshot is having the same issue

Yes, the same thing is happening to me.
Okay good to know I’m not the only one with an issue! Thought something was wrong with my email but looks like it’s an internal issue

In previous years it was 250 words, otherwise, no explicit limit is mentioned this year, @curious_premed.

Still no password email for me
Same
You could also hit "forgot password" cause I was also having issues with thisSame
Oh I will try that!!
Received my secondary today!
I had the same issue, but instead of using the link to make a password I just clicked "forgot password" on the login page and that took me to a page to create a "new" password, even though it was the first time I had created one and it worked!
For the question: "Have you ever matriculated into and not completed a professional/graduate program?",
If you are currently enrolled in a graduate program but have not yet completed it would you mark this as "yes" and then explain you are currently enrolled and your graduation date?

If you are reapplying this year please describe what you have done during the past year.
For this question, should I also include my gap year plans? Or just what I did this past year?

I was wondering the same thing, cause it's been 2-3 years for me.

I submitted and am complete. Yet this morning I got like 5 of the same email telling me how excited they are and that I’ll be receiving a link to the “supplental” soon.
I received 4 in the middle of the night last night and 2 almost every other night this week...lol idk what is going on
Lol I thought the 4 I just got was a lot
I'm going on 9 just for today. Five sent around 3am and four sent around now.
16 emails today... they’re multiplying [emoji37]
dude same
Has anyone found out the answer to this question? I'm getting an error when I'm saving my essay

Anyone else's letters of recommendation still not received when checking their status?
I hate to harp on one somewhat unrelated topic but I’ve literally gotten 48 emails the last two days and 70+ total since they started sending.

Literally same...I think I’m going to call them today and inform them there is a glitch so they can take care of it because it’s getting quite annoying
Just called them and they immediately knew what I was talking about and said many people have been calling about it and they are working on fixing it and that they apologized for the annoyance it has caused. Glad they’re working on it because I don’t want to wake up to 40 emails from them every morning before I have even submitted hahaha
I'm going to block that specific email title.
That’s a good idea until they fix it
