well it seems that they took out the status tab on the secondary, so I'm assuming they are trying to fix it?

I'm guessing so too. I had emailed asking about the incomplete LOR and CASPer statuses. They responded an hour ago and said it was fine and that my application was complete and ready for review.

Did anyone receive a complete email after submitting?

I submitted Saturday, and I got one right away. Based from the posts above, it seems like they're updating their portal, so you may not get one right away.
 
Is it even worth applying here as an LA resident? Got a secondary last year but the big ol R. They take such a small class.

Anyone else having an issue with meeting the unit requirements, especially if you went to a quarter system school?

For example, I took the whole physics series, but still 2 units short of the 8 required units...

Any insight would be helpful

Lab units don't count unfortunately. You can write under the comments section that you will complete the course sometime.

I went to an event at their school in June and they said that they were not screening this year and everyone would get a secondary, so I do find the email a bit odd. I really hope they actually did screen, but who knows.

ah ha! there we go. I KNEW something was off when I got a secondary lmao. I was told not to apply here even as a socal. resident, so I was pretty skeptical when the email said they screened and chose people. I guess they are trynna increase their class numbers go up or something, but who knows *shrug*

Are they requiring CA$Per this year? They're not listed for delivery on the CASPer site unless I'm missing something but this shows up on the status page after submitting the secondary:

Status page? Where are you seeing that? I submitted and all I have is 3 tabs on the portal: Home, Secondary Application, and User Profile. Home has nothing, Secondary Application has all the app sections, and User Profile just allows me to change my password.

They removed it yesterday morning, it'll probably be back within a week or so once it's fixed

Did you get it after interviews or after secondaries?

After secondaries, but I didn't have any clinical experience last year so that's what I was expecting. Just worried that not being from the inland empire is gonna trash my app

Is it weird that I got a green check under the section even when I put my lab credits in? I took a full year of physics but the lectures are 6 units and labs are 2 units.

Talked to admissions over the phone and was told they just want a year of physics and that labs can count towards the 8 units. I explicitly asked "so I don't need to take an additional physics course prior to matriculation?" and she said no.

oops! I apologize for the scare, I might have read the fine print wrong.
 
Does UCR screen? I'm not from the IE but I have with experience with underserved communities and got a secondary. UCR is a top choice for me but I'm not sure how to answer the first prompt.
 
Received secondary 8/3/2019 and marked complete 8/6/2019. LizzyM 65, vet, and URM born and raised in the IE. UCR is my target school and hoping to hear from them. I wish they would put their status tab back up, anyone receive a II yet?
 
Has anyone gotten an "application complete" email but still marked as NOT complete in the portal?
Submitted 8/3
Complete email rec 8/4

Also the Application complete email was completely blank, is what everyone else experienced?

I would reach out and ask about this. My portal says my application is complete and my complete email was not blank.
 
Looks like they added a status page again.

I looks like my application is currently marked as not complete too, however I got an email that states they received my secondary and its being fowarded for review.

Anyone else have an update and notes next to the interview status?
 
So I just double checked, and realized I checked UC Davis's portal and not Riverside. Lol. But i got my complete email for Riverside and it said my application was under review. On my portal it says my app is incomplete, but next to my interview status has a lock next to it.

My app is also not complete despite having received the complete email the day I submitted my secondary.

My portal has the lock next to interview with the note “not scheduled yet” next to it. Anyone else’s say the same thing?

Adding on to this: I called admissions just now about coming up short on semester hours for both chemistry and biology. I was also told that labs can count towards the hours or you can fulfill the prereqs with upperdivision courses.
 
OOS here, 513 MCAT, 3.96 sGPA, 3.52 GPA (based on courses taken 10 years ago in Poland, transferred to a US university), 4.0 diy post-bac in the US. Good ECs.

Verified on Aug 5th. Never heard back from UCR. No app received, no secondary... null, zilt, nada... Any idea what's going on?

The first round of secondaries went out August 3 and they seem to send them out in batches so just sit tight for the next wave
