if my portal shows "uploaded" for documents and "Thank you for completing your secondary application." am I just in purgatory or something bc I never got any email after and submitted it on September 8th?

I got the under preliminary review one I think on the 12th or 13th which was a couple days after hitting done on the documents page (since I didn't realize you had to do that after submitting the photo). But have not gotten the email saying that they are done with the preliminary review. Though in that email it said it would take 3-5 weeks.

I'm in the same situation....Weird that people seem to have gotten other emails after submitting but I'm sure that
I've completed everything..
 
I also got the prelim review complete email a few days ago. But it seems like those who get those emails, applies to most schools, are tucked aside in pre-ii hold until further notice

or...

it means their adcom committee is structured so they have a small number of members reviewing prereq requirements, MCAT score, LORs, etc. (re: preliminary review) that are then sent to "higher-up" admission committee members who make the decision for II, hold, or rejection.

i know this is common among several medical schools I applied to.
 
I haven't received any preliminary review complete email and I got the email saying my application is under preliminary review on 9/9.
 
or it could mean that their office is understaffed and it might be taking a while to get back to us.

This school especially had to push back their secondary invite date. Let's be patient, guys. They are just busily reviewing our apps, but there are just too many of those.
 
Should I call them if I have not received the preliminary review email yet?
Its not in my spam either and I submitted two weeks ago

How is Seton-Hall when it comes to LGBT? Are they similar to Loyola or more similar to Loma Linda?

Wow I just submitted and I had no idea SHU was a Catholic university until just now. But that's a pretty explicitly inclusive statement, which I like to see!

They’re very big on supporting the LGBT community. There’s a lot of people in my class who identify as such and they’re very accommodating

Same I’m in state do they have a preference ?
Click to expand...

Anecdotally it seems like they do. The majority of my class is from the state which makes sense since a key part of the mission statement is to improve the lives of people living in New Jersey

Do they offer any additional tuition waivers or assistance for their first few classes before accreditation?
Click to expand...

Yes. Both the first and second classes got a class scholarship of sorts with some people getting even more than that in merit scholarships. I know a couple of people in my class have full tuition but that’s pretty rare

...So to be clear, you're speculating that receiving that email is a bad thing?

Prelim review is not a good or bad thing. It just kinda exists. Everyone goes through it. Basically admissions checks whether you have taken all the classes, have the letters etc needed. Once you’re good you’re moved up to the main pool for the adcom to look at your app. Im fairly certain that it’s a manual process. At least it was last year which is why it takes a while to get through. If you passed prelim review, you’re golden. If you didn’t, you’ll get an email telling you what you’re missing

Does anyone know how many they are looking to have in the class ? I know with new schools they gradually increase

Around 112-115 is a good bet
 
Ok got off the phone with them.
They said that you can still take Literature in spring 2020 at an accredited college/university. They will still hand you an II invite even if you have not taken Literature
For those waiting to be on prelim reviews, they are still processing apps so they said to keep waiting!

What number did you call for them? I've been trying to get into contact with them
 
I called the number on the secondary
BUT when I spoke to them the lady gave me the number of someone from admission who she said to call moving forward. PM me and I can share it.
 
Complete 9/16 and got the prelim review email today! I don’t think it’s chronological either

didnt you say you didnt fulfill their lit requirement? that's most likely why

not true b/c i didnt fulfill their lit requirement yet still got a prelim review

Plus they stated they will still hand out II to ppl regardless if you have that requirement. However, to matriculate you must have that requirement. So they encouraged me to enroll in a lit class for Spring 2020

How can this be an individualized review if multiple people are getting the same prelim complete email at the same time

.. the same reviewer is probably sending out notifications in batches. I'm sure every reviewer does things differently.
 
Is not getting a confirmation email after submitting your secondaries normal? It's been a week now.

If you go through the previous pages of this thread, you'll see that there is a stage called "preliminary review" which can take anywhere from 1-2 weeks to get on after submitting your secondary. Then it is another 1-2 weeks until they accept your application as "complete" to which then you'll get the traditional "complete" email and enter the review queue.

My preliminary review email said it could take 3-5 weeks to go to the next step
 
Ok, so nobody has received an interview from Seton Hall yet? I submitted my secondary Septemebr 6th the day they sent them out, but it seems that because it is still within 3-5 weeks of that nobody has heard anything.

Is that DO letter going to support your case to be an MD? Seton Hall is MD.

Yes. It’s just a healthcare worker letter so they count too
