Had the recommendation letter issue been resolved for anyone?

Submitted secondary a week ago but letters still show up as not received. I see them in document status like the other people who posted earlier. I sent them an email. Has anyone's letter status issue been resolved?

Edit: was told they are still working to resolve the issue

Is there somewhere where I can find Interview feedback for the current cycle, from someone who has already interviewed?
 
Do you guys know if they care about the “2 week turnaround”? I work full time and have been working on other secondaries/moving so I’m a little over 3 weeks now :/ planning on submitting by Wednesday latest

Honestly, knowing that they receive the highest number of apps, they won't have time to check when you submitted. Just submit asap!!!

It was great! Really informative! Presentations about campus opportunities, curriculum, med student Q&A, diversity, fin aid, etc. The only time any of the applicants spoke was to ask a question during the med student Q&A panel or after other presentations. None of that “hi my name is PremedGunner12345 and I’m from HarvardStanfordYale University” stuff lol.

For people who have attended Monday info sessions, were students wearing headphones? I know this was recommended by Georgetown
 
I submitted my secondary about a week ago, but for some reason my status is still listed incomplete for letters of reference, even though they should have been recieved with my AMCAS. My other application portals have marked my letters as recieved, so I'm not sure whether I should follow-up with Georgetown. Has anyone else experienced this too, and maybe it's just their admissions processing?

Looking back at this thread, it seems this is a common issue. I am experiencing this as well. It sounds like Georgetown is aware of the issue but I'm not sure if we should email them or not? Don't want to be a bother if they already know but I also don't want my application to slip through the cracks, so to speak.

no, finished this app nearly a month ago and it's still not complete. didn't really care at first but low-key put off now that my app is actually at a disadvantage. i emailed 2 weeks ago and they acknowledged the issue.

ah so I guess emailing them is pointless?
 
prufrock2891 said:
I would think so, yeah. They said, "We have received several reports of this issue with letters of recommendation and have asked our system developers to investigate."

aaaah lol. this is annoying especially knowing that they receive a looot of apps. Hopefully the issue gets fixed by this week or I will be super worried

Lol dunno if they’re reading these or something but my app was marked complete tonight at 2 am! I submitted it originally on Aug 19.

I also had this problem but got a complete email a couple of hours ago.
 
My app was complete on 7/24 but I still haven't heard back... starting to get scared..
 
same, complete 7/14. hang in there, this cycle is slow and app review is likely not chronological

To further answer this question, the School of Medicine posted on their Instagram page (@gumedadmissions) on August 14th that they do not hold applicants to the 2-week rule.
