So the collegeboard website is going under some renovations or something, and there's like no way I can get my SAT scores from 2012 until like two or three weeks from now (plus I have to pay an exorbitant fee). I don't think I took the ACT. Is it okay to just leave that section blank? I can guess at what my SAT scores were, but honestly I don't remember for sure.

Your comment made me go back and look, and I had definitely uploaded mine before I submitted but now it says it's gone? Confused lol
My submission went through no problem and my app was marked complete, so idk what's going on
I submitted the app yesterday and paid the fee. I just realized that I needed to upload a pic but it's not letting me. Hopefully that wouldn't cause a problem

Seems like it's a problem on their portal's end. It only lets you submit if your app is complete so I think we should be okay!
I know some schools make you upload a picture only if you get an II, so maybe Illinois has the same idea but the portal is messed up
I did not upload a photo the first time, but I was just able to go into mine just now again and submit again with a photo. Not sure if that will cause any problems or not...
Do you have to re-submit after you upload it? Or is it automatic?
Just did this. You have to go to the submission page and re-submit
You don't have to fill out the essays again or anything! It's just uploading a picture and checking the submit box
But it will probably kick me way back in the queue

Do you actually think it will do that though? The same problem happened to me, but I have a message from them saying my application was complete on the 5th?
Secondary submitted! UIC is my top choice.
How long did it take for letters of rec and CASPER to show as marked? Mine says not received although I sent casper a while ago.

My roommates app was marked complete without Snapshot. FYI
It says his app is in the queue for screening, not sure if I believe it though

Anyone? It has been three days now and rec letters are still not complete.
It took me about 8 days post-secondary submission to be marked complete!
Applied last year and it took some time. Like a week or so
Marked complete! Good luck everybody! I hope my top choice shows me some love.
based off podcast they do screen and do not send based off single digit percentile MCATS
Is the MCAT the only screen?
This I am not sure about, I know they do calculate GPA themselves if need be (in the podcast Dr. Amiri talked about how they can remove a year if it was poor and recalc) but I am not sure if GPA is used for screens

This was for receiving my primary not secondary unfortunately
Just like with every other school, no.
They all just say interviews will be sent out over a ~7 month span.

I'm guessing yes, maybe gpa too? Fit might be too difficult for them to gauge right away
It is my understanding that they will not even start to review your application unless your Altus Suite is in.
I applied MSTP as well, and there were no additional questions for me either.

Seems like it probably went to everyone. Was definitely a rollercoaster to see an email from "medamit" lol just for a webinar.

Was planning on submitting my UIC secondary but realized that I hadn't taken the Snapshot/Duet portion of the Altus Suite. I took my Casper test back in June, and on the Casper website it says that schools who require the entire Suite request that all of them be completed within 10 days of each other. Do I even bother submitting my secondary? How big of a deal is this?
you can still take it.
Anyone received an II yet?

So I submitted my secondary about a week ago and my letter of recs have all been received (for a while now) but it says my application isn't complete because they haven't reviewed the LoRs yet. Is this the case for anyone else? Should I ask them about it?
