Anybody else still waiting on a secondary?

It took me almost a week to get one

Whoops I just realized I never added it on AMCAS... welp they already got my CASPER scores and there's no essays so I'm gonna add it now.

 

[Lucille95]

Aaaand just got the secondary invite. Phew!

Finally marked complete. Was having the same issue before with letters appearing as not received. Submitted 7/14

 

[caffeinatedMD8]

Anyone else have LoR marked as not received but it is in the document section?

Yes, it took them 9 days to mark that and my app as complete

Complete email received this morning, must mean that they figured out the letter situation.

do they send secondaries before verification? since it takes a week for secondaries to come, i'm wondering if its worth to add it to my schools now even tho ill be complete end of the month of august.

They told me they don’t review any apps until September anyway.

 

[HappyFeet_14]

How long did it take you guys to be complete after having everything in?

It’s been over a week for me, should I email and ask?

 

[walterwhite3556]

It’s been over a week for me, should I email and ask?

Took 13 days for me to receive a complete email after submitting

 

[rune2h]

Oh god I realized I paid the fee on the 26th but didn't hit submit until just now. OOF.

There are no prompts. In the past, Rochester has asked applicants to complete essays if you are given an interview invite

do you know what prompts they've used in the past after an interview invite?

Nope!

I wonder what’s with the delay here this year

Hi everyone, I took CASPer on 7/18, and on their website, it says my results were delivered to all of my schools, including Rochester. On my Rochester secondary it says my CASPer has not been received yet. Any advice on where to go from here?

Had the same problem, its just a bug. I called them and they said it takes a bit to update.

II, what a day it has been

They told me they weren’t reviewing until September! Those lying bastards.

I also find it ridiculous that I didn’t even need to click this notification to know what it was. Congrats my dude.

II- OOS

 

[u_raptor]

Just now got to look at the interview portal, and here I thought I was done with secondary essays . Heads up they ask a few more questions if you end up with an II.

First, list 4 most meaningful ECs.

Then:
1) Briefly discuss a way in which you have demonstrated a commitment to serve others.
2)Please describe what sets you apart from other applicants.

recommended to be a brief paragraph each.

Thats absolutely nuts. I thought for sure you already had your JD, phd, and ms, and you needed your MD to finish the set or something

Thank you! Complete 7/14, email received 7/24

Also, was anybody else told "Please note that you must bring your original Visa with you to the interview. Further consideration of your application cannot proceed without it"?
I'm a dual citizen (US/European country) but I've lived abroad for the past 15 years, so maybe they saw my home address and assumed I'm international?

Probably, I'd call and be sure you dont need any further form of ID just to be safe.

 

[getlucky]

MSTP II today!!

 

[Penguin_MD]

I got an II on Saturday! 🙂 Complete 7/12

 

[Penguin_MD]

Probably, I'd call and be sure you dont need any further form of ID just to be safe.

I'm also curious about this. I am also a dual citizen but I've been in the U.S. for a while, but I was also told this. Is this not something they say to everyone just in case?

 

[peanuttbuttah]

how much are people writing for these interview essays? I only have like 1 long paragraph for each activity and 2-3 paragraphs for the actual essays... not sure if this is enough

 

[AmaranthMoor]

Just got the II email!! Woohoo, except for the part where I have to write more stuff I was so happy these guys didn't have secondary essays....shoulda known there was a catch!

LM ~75, Complete 7/19
