Yup, been delivered for awhile. Just getting neuroticI’m guessing you’ll be marked complete soon, then. Does CASPer say your results have been delivered?

It couldn’t hurt. They even reference their pathways, so they want you to at least look at it.For the first question on the secondary, do you think we should specifically and explicitly mention which of the paths we want to pursue? I am pretty sure I want to pick one certain one.

Sounds about right! I put something like “this is why I wanna do this, this is what I want to do, just as I have done this I believe the XXX PoE will allow me to accomplish this through X Y Z.” Pretty straight forwardThat said, the way the question is phrased, it doesn't seem like you need to. I read it more as "if you need ideas for what kinds of things we're talking about, see here." I ended up going somewhere in between. I discussed interests that matched up with their pathways, but never explicitly said anything like "...and that's why I want to pursue X pathway."

Apparently triple checking that you out the correct school name is not sufficient...will put a fourth check in there next time...
I doubt this will have a significant detriment...but will this have a significant detriment?
Yup, just hold in there, it's frustrating, but still early.Has anyone else not received a secondary despite being verified (June 20 for me) and submitted to UM?
Just got the secondary, definitely above 25th percentile for MCAT (517) so they must be getting sent in waves (verified 6/4).Has anyone else not received a secondary despite being verified (June 20 for me) and submitted to UM?
It's July 1stShould I be worried if I didn't get a secondary yet :/
I believe I read somewhere that University of Michigan only requires CASPER to send you an interview, but not to review your application once submitted. I would still try to submit as early as possible! They will not mark you complete until they receive your CASPER, but I am pretty sure they might review it without the CASPER scoreDoes your entire application need to be done within the two week window of getting the secondary? I just got it but I take CASPer this weekend and don't know if they'll have it in two weeks.
I talked about my ideal situation as a provider. What id be doing, what kinds of patients id be seeing, etcAny advice on how to structure the first secondary question? I don´t know if its because this is the first secondary I am writing, or what, but I´ve been staring at a blank page on my computer for the past hour and a half.
I talked about the kind of career I want to pursue and the things I would do in it. Like do you want to do private practice, academia, health policy, underserved communities, etc..I talked about my ideal situation as a provider. What id be doing, what kinds of patients id be seeing, etc
Pretty much same.I talked about the kind of career I want to pursue and the things I would do in it. Like do you want to do private practice, academia, health policy, underserved communities, etc..
Same exact boat here. I'm trying to be patient and assume its a glitch. I'm going to give it another day and then maybe call to make sure its a glitch lol.Anyone else still on "secondary submitted" since 6/28? My letters and CASPer score have been ready since May, so I'm waiting for it to be marked as complete at this point. For some reason the portal shows the LOR section as blank now...
I was marked complete today. So if its blank, just be patient. Blank screen is just a glitch!Anyone else still on "secondary submitted" since 6/28?

I do not have my LOR on AMCAS yet (committee letter), but I do have it as an assigned letter to Michigan (it just hasn't been uploaded to AMCAS yet) and I was complete a couple days ago. I don't think they require LOR to start reviewing your application for IIs.MemeLord has a “complete” status on the portal so I’m assuming if you have everything in you will too. I’m still waiting on one LOR. Do you only have one letter assigned? I think you need at least 3...
This is good news for me, but at the same time it makes me annoyed that I haven’t been marked complete yet (submitted on Friday within an hour of the secondary coming out)I do not have my LOR on AMCAS yet (committee letter), but I do have it as an assigned letter to Michigan (it just hasn't been uploaded to AMCAS yet) and I was complete a couple days ago.

+1 marked complete today without having my letter in. Submitted 6/28.
About to hit submit but I still am unsure how to answer the "average hours worked" question. I only worked for one year, so should I average it using that one year or all 4 years (since it says "over the course of your undergraduate...")? maybe my CARS skills just suck lol
just got verified and received secondary within 30 seconds
done but still being gradeddid you have casper done?
how long has it been?done but still being graded

GOOOOTCHA. That is why they emphasize to follow them on Social media. Do they do it on facebok? I do not do the twitter.From their website:
#UMICHMEDMONDAYS
Every Monday starting with when the first round of interview invites are emailed, we post updates on Twitter.
I think it’s just Twitter unfortunatelyGOOOOTCHA. That is why they emphasize to follow them on Social media. Do they do it on facebok? I do not do the twitter.
Realistically though, the main updates they post are how many interview invites are going out, but since it’s on a predictable schedule anyway (every Monday) not a big deal if you don’t follow itGOOOOTCHA.

Would it be okay to talk about Scientific Discovery in #1 and tack on a mention of the medical humanities PoE for #2 as well?
