Hey guys. I submitted my app and have everything checked off except for CASPer. However, my CASPer exam has already been graded and submitted to stony brook according to the CASPer website. Is anyone else having a similar issue?

Yeah, same here. I took it a while back and it doesn't seem to be at any of my schools yet

 

[Heliobacter]

Daaaaaayum nice!! A rare 4.0 528?

Hahaha not quite 528. I wish. Just got two other secondaries today so I can stop thinking that my application may have gotten lost in the AMCAS toilets.

Is "Describe an obstacle you've overcome and how it has defined you" your basic adversity essay?

yes

Has anyone found a solution to this issue? CASPer is not showing up on my Stony Brook secondary but on CASPer's website it says it's distributed

More than likely the schools haven’t downloaded the CASPer results yet

 

[curious_premed]

What are you supposed to put (if anything) in the upload document section? Like a CV? If I have a publication should I put that? Also, can you continue to upload documents here after you've submitted your essays?

Can confirm this.

 

[ThetisAntithesis]

My CASPer is still showing up as incomplete - Took it June 13!
Will likely call them tomorrow.

 

[little_giant]

Is there any option to upload your photo to the sbu secondary page? I have the "no photo" avatar next to my name but cant find the option to upload one.

Call this morning, and they said that the result may take a few weeks to be posted,

 

[walterwhite3556]

Submitted 7/1, Complete 7/8

 

[ElloMellowYellow]

Had that issue over the weekend where my Casper was marked 'not recieved' , although I took it June 2nd. Just got an 'under review' email.

 

[ThetisAntithesis]

Marked complete this morning!
Come on Stony, show me some love!!!

Did they mention if a pending CASPer score would postpone an interview invitation? Or did they make it seem like it wasn't a big deal?

You need your score in to be complete.

 

[DivisionByZero]

Received secondary today. If I applied to the BS/MD program as a high school senior, do I have to say that I am a reapplicant?

EDIT: per past years thread, I marked it and explained I applied as a high school senior, not through AMCAS

 

[deleted994247]

You need your score in to be complete.

Source?

 

[ElloMellowYellow]

Source?

"We have recieved the results of your Casper Test"

"Application complete"

 

[pBar]

Just decided to add Stony Brook to my app, but hope I'm not too late to get this secondary in! OOS, but I was born at Stony Brook hospital and have close family ties to Long Island.

 

[HouseM.D.]

So I've finished the secondary essays but I wont take my CASPer until July 18. And we know it takes ~3 weeks for scores to be sent. Is it too late? I still haven't payed the fees.

I'm doing the same thing. Definitely not too late, jeezus you're going to not submit just because of that? The 3 week delay means our applications will be complete by early August, which is totally fine. Not early early, but definitely not something to discourage applying.

Hi all, I completed and submitted my secondary on 7/8. I took my CASPer June 2, with Stony Brook as a recipient. The secondary portal claims that it received each of my LORs in June, but then on the summary status page says that neither the CASPer nor my LORs have been received. Can anyone think of any reason for this? If not, do y'all know how I can contact them to inquire?

I sent an email about my CASPer (email to contact should be in the email inviting you for a secondary).
They replied in a few days and that same day, my CASPer (and application) was marked complete.

Why do they ask about amount of outstanding student loans...
