Anybody’s letters downloaded much later after being sent from amcas. Does that mean our application is being reviewed.
I believe this corresponds to re-submitting your AMCAS application!

Hmmm now I'm also confused. I submitted on 7/6 and got the complete email at the exact same time, but under "Document Status," it now says the committee letter packet was "Received on: (7/18/2021 12:56:00 AM)"? I don't understand. I had the letter available since 6/29 and under "Status" (not "Document Status"), "Letters of Recommendation" on the checklist was checked off since the beginning before submitting.

All these correspond to is the last time you re-submitted your AMCAS for any reason. A few schools have portals that update like this

Ohhhh now I understand, yeah, due to adding a school at the last minute
 
That makes sense! I didn’t resubmit it that day!
I'm not sure if this helps but my letters for Keck were complete before I submitted my secondary as well! My last letter (that was already designated to specific schools) was sent to AMCAS on 7/19. This letter wasn't designated to Keck but all of my previous letters now say "received on: 7/19 6:08 AM" - the exact time AMCAS received my LOR.
 
Does anybody know is Keck student have mandatory lectures? like pre-covid, did students have to be present every day of the week?

July 12th came from MSAR, no? MSAR is notorious for having incorrect information. Pretty sure some guy on reddit wasted $100 because MSAR said a certain school accepted international applicants but they didn't actually.
Yeah, this is unfortunately common. I have found a lot of discrepancies between the types of letters MSAR says a school wants and the types the school's website says they want.
 
Is the "How does under-representation affect your community?" question also limited to 3-5 sentences? (Question only appears if you checked the under-represented box)
 
II received 8/14, application complete 7/28!

Btw, anyone else with an II having trouble scheduling it in the portal? Something with the UI is not letting me select any day at all.
