My Casper is also not marked as received by the school. I took the test 6/3 (and already had ETSU on the distribution list). Not sure what date it was actually distributed but it should have been received long ago.

Has anybody received an OOS secondary? Still waiting to hear

[violingirl2]

are y'all treating the first question- the one about obstacles in gaining important experiences- as a COVID question?

 

[Hello_There_117]

Yes, that's what I did because it sounded like a COVID question also designed to catch any other troubles you may have had.

 

[namaste2022]

what is the secondary screen for Quillen's secondary?

 

[MO05E]

IS primary submitted June 7th…. Still no secondary. I’m starting to worry.(specifically cause someone who submitted after got the secondary already)

 

[KirbyDK]

are y'all treating the first question- the one about obstacles in gaining important experiences- as a COVID question?

Yeah that's what I did. My guess is that they wanted to include COVID troubles but didn't want to exclude any other obstacles that may have been a less direct result of COVID.

 

[BioPsychotic]

what is the secondary screen for Quillen's secondary?

IS primary submitted June 7th…. Still no secondary. I’m starting to worry.(specifically cause someone who submitted after got the secondary already)

Primary submitted 7/19, no secondary. OOS but within the 250-mile radius for favorability.

I know that patience is a virtue in the medical school admissions cycle, but hearing nothing is so hard because I have no idea whether I'm being considered or if my application has been essentially thrown out.
