Should I worry if I didn't get a complete or prelim review email and submitted my secondary 10/10 (ik so late fml)?
 
i thought i had uploaded my headshot on 9/27 and have been checking the portal periodically since then, but I just noticed that I did not actually submit it until today ... how screwed am I?
that happened to me for 2 of the schools I applied to... I'm not holding my breath for those schools
 
I just got an email too, but am a bit confused. Is the virtual admissions day an interview? It does say that we would get a second email - so I think they have to review VITA first then do the zoom interview?
 
Congrats!! Do you know when you interview and virtual admissions day are?
My virtual admissions is this week (wish we had more notice but we push forward regardless). Interview I’m not sure, they said we will be notified with the scheduled date so it sounds like we don’t get to choose.
 
Hey so I got an email that I was in preliminary review 10/9 & an email last night stating it was complete and that I met their requirements. Then this morning, I got the interview invite. Hope that helps!
thanks !! so apparently that 2-4 week timeline they give isnt accurate lol was starting to get worried
 
What dates do they have for the one on one interview - is it in December or in January?
 
Interviewed 10/25, don’t know if that’s first interview batch or not, and haven’t heard back. Are they just taking long and is anyone else in the same boat or ...

I interviewed the same day! They said during the virtual admissions day (10/20) that it was the first group. Haven’t heard back, no clue when we will which is anxiety-inducing since it’s been about 6 weeks & they said they’re rolling admissions?

Yeah, if we don't hear back in the next week, I'm going to start crying in the corners of my house as well rather than just in the middle of the rooms.

Almost called them saying “um hi yes I have a missed call from this number?” “Oh, do you?” “Yes, perhaps about my admissions status... could you check on that?”
 
deadline submission for the secondary application was dec. 1, correct? seriously asking for a friend lolol
 
I got the email as well, I just emailed the admissions committee to see if there was anything else I was missing (even though my portal says complete). I'm betting it's some glitch in their system
 
I got that email about being uncomplete too and I was freaking out because I sent it and paid (even checked my debit card statement lol). But I double checked the portal... and my headshot was never uploaded 🤦‍♀️ Not the end of the world, but very frustrating as I am an IS applicant and essentially shot myself in the foot. So this is a cautionary tale! Check your headshot in the portal!

That's what I figured it was. Honestly it was easy to miss.

WAIT, are we sure that this is the reason we received the incomplete email? If so, the portal is misleading in the following ways:

1) Why would the document upload section have a due date of 6/5 if the secondary is due in December?

2) Doesn't the document upload section serve as a place to submit application updates? How can we do this throughout the cycle if we are expected to click "I am done uploading documents" at the time of secondary submission?

3) I uploaded my headshot, but never clicked the "I am done uploading button". Despite this, I have a note under my headshot which says "document uploaded on 11/11".

4) Despite not clicking the button, the portal displayed, "Thank you for completing your secondary".

5) Lastly, I received a LinkedIn notification saying that the school had viewed my LinkedIn. Would they view it if my app was not complete?

OP, I think you may be right, but, for both/all of our sakes, hope that you aren't. Did you receive a complete email after clicking "I am done uploading documents"?

No email after clicking "I am done uploading documents". I left mine "un clicked" because of the same reason- I wanted to make sure I left somewhere I could add an update.
 
To those who received the incomplete email, did you click the "I am done uploading documents" button when you submitted your secondary essays?
 
omg guys, i'm so sorry 😱:drowning: did y'all ever get a "under preliminary review" email?

I actually got an email this morning saying that I’m now under preliminary review after I clicked the button 😔 so I’m pretty sure that’s what was holding up my application which is disappointing because I THOUGHT I was submitted and complete in September.

And I did the the same - I didn’t click the button just in case I wanted to submit some documents later. This sucks 😤
 
Just got a preliminary review complete email. I'm guessing based on previous posts, I should be expecting an II sometime this week. Application complete late September and placed under preliminary review early to mid-October. OOS, ORM, LM 75.
