Not too sure

Honestly, based on their timing, it seems like they sent their interview invites before heading home for the weekend. Just my $0.02 though!

 

[dr.batman]

Do any of you with an II have a complete email? Or did your portal ever change from complete to under review?

 

[anappleaday_2017]

Stats if you dont mind me asking? and OOS?

OOS

 

[SliceNDice]

Are IIs generally sent out chronologically based on when you submitted? Submitted my secondary 7/29 so if that's the case I would theoretically get my II soon

 

[speedracer347]

69 WARS
65-66 LizzyM
OOS

ORM?

No at most schools applications are prioritized almost immediately.

No at most schools applications are prioritized almost immediately.

For example someone got a II YESTERSAy that had submitted the day before.

Well ****

 

[Talldoctor96]

Well ****

I got a II last year in December. This process just takes Soooo long

 

[Mouzer]

I got a II last year in December. This process just takes Soooo long

Last year I got an II in MARCH. At a school where I was complete in JULY. When they say it's a marathon not a sprint, they aren't kidding around.

 

[Mouzer]

I'm waiting... patiently

Bruh you have 4 IIs in mid-August... you're gonna be fine.

 

[anappleaday_2017]

ORM?

Yes

 

[Talldoctor96]

a gal can dream of the snowy slopes in VT still (But you're hopefully not wrong)

something like 95 percent of applicants probably have 0.

 

[TheDataKing]

something like 95 percent of applicants probably have 0.

Trust me, I never expected to be in this situation (my stats aren't fantastic). I totally get that I sound greedy wanting more IIs and I'll take it down a notch.

Wonder if SDNers have more due to self selecting sample or advice from the site. Hmm

Well, n=1 but all my advice came from reddit and not here, I didn’t join SDN until right before I applied. Given a fair amount of the advice is the same, but... it probably is a bit of both. I think being well-informed when you go into this process goes a long way, every day I see so many questions and think to myself “you’re only asking this now? After you’ve submitted your application?” and I’m starting to think that a fair number of applicants honestly just never stand a chance.

Hey I’m not saying it in a “you shouldn’t be happy about it way”. I’m so happy for you!!! I’m saying congrats it’s such an awesome accomplishment. I’m sure you worked very hard.

Do you think getting over a fear of public speaking is a non-academic challenge that I'd be able to use for the challenge prompt?

Yes

Really having a difficult time choosing only one answer for the "what made you choose to apply" scroll down question on the secondary.

 

[Ole_Toe]

First II received!
IS, LM 75, ORM, Complete 8/16

Congrats! Did you receive it this am?

 

[DD5678]

does UVM accept updates?

 

[HighYieldOnly]

does UVM accept updates?

I sent them a minor update (mistake on AMCAS) via email and they added it to my file.

 

[Icebird]

Interviewing on 9/21 if anyone wants to either split for an AirBnB and/or explore town with me that weekend!

Also interviewing on 9/21, but I won't be in town long enough to do that

 

[Dr. Hokage]

One of my top choices. Show me some love UVM!

 

[Kirby Smart]

Anyone figure out about why our portal can show that LORs aren't received despite the LORs being listed in the document status section? It subsequently keeps me from being marked complete. Do I need to call admissions or anything or is this just something they need to process?

Can't remember if that happened for me at UVM, but it definitely happened a few places this cycle. I'd give it a week and see if it resolves. If not, contact them.

usually takes a bit for them to process

 

[Aria MD???]

Does anyone know if UVM reviews app without LORs received or does the entire file need to be complete?

 

[deleted922750]

So.... would it look bad if I only use 250 of the 500 word limit that they provided?

 

[DocFactor]

I don’t think the length is necessarily that important. Just make sure you convey what needs to be conveyed

 

[Icebird]

N=1 but I used less and II. Quality over quantity.

 

[MontanaGirl2020]

do schools normally have this long of a wait between ii waves?!

 

[DocFactor]

Impossible to say. It tends to vary every cycle

 

[St_Harambe]

In the FAQ of the secondary they gave an example format:

Age1 - Age2 Location1 Population Size
Age2 - Age3 Location2 Population Size

not a big deal if you didnt do that though.

Where did you find this FAQ? I made a note to myself to look through it, but I can't find it!

 

[rdyotz]

At the top of the FAQ on the secondary portal.

For the speeding ticket question, I've gotten a few but they all been converted to parking tickets by the district attorney. So technically, did I get one?

 

[MontanaGirl2020]

Almost got a speeding ticket today! Let off with a warning

 

[deleted971841]

Almost got a speeding ticket today! Let off with a warning

Did you tell the cop that getting a ticket would mean you can’t become a doctor?

You know what, actually I think I’m gonna use that if I ever need to.

I was going to mention the implications but he immediately said I was getting a warning!

 

[CaptainZeki]

Are speeding tickets considered a misdemeanor?

Are speeding tickets considered a misdemeanor?

Depends on the state, I would look it up to make sure. I know for a fact in Ohio they are
