are you guys writing an optional essay? im not sure what to do
I did a gap year plans essay for that essay

Members don't see this ad.
 
Update: For anyone wondering, it does not seem like UVM sends an "application complete" email after all your supplemental materials (CASPer. LORs, secondary) have been received. It simply gives you the little green check on the secondary portal.

Submitted 07/09, and application complete 07/10.
This is still the case, correct? I never received a complete email but the portal shows everything marked as complete.

Is anyone's "Letters Received" not updating? Under Document Status Mine they're marked as received 7/9 but on the Status tab it currently says "Not Received" and my application is Incomplete. Any advice on what to do?
I just submitted my application and I seem to be having the same issue. Did your status ever switch to "complete" ?
 
On the Status page it says "Once you submit your secondary application and pay your fee, the system takes 48 hours to reflect receipt of your letters of reference. If your letters of reference are not marked as complete 48 hours after submission of your secondary application please contact the admissions office at [email protected]"
 
What do we write for the residency history on UVM's secondary?

If you click on FAQ on the home page of the secondary, they show you how they'd like it entered.

Basically:

0-5 - LA, pop. xyz
5-25 - NYC, pop. xyz

age, location, population is how it went, I believe.

Does anyone know if I would need to answer yes to the "Criminal Conviction/Adverse Judgement" question if I have an institutional action? Or is that strictly for Criminal issues? Thanks!

I just wanted to clarify that I emailed me and the question does actually apply to IA's as well. Just in case anyone else in my situation reads this! :)

Weird. Not what the wording would suggest and not what I did when I applied and there was no issue.

I guess if that’s what they told you though 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hi, everyone, my casper scores horribly T-T, I am new immigrant, English as secondary language, my GPA and MCAT are not bad, but Casper I score on 1st quartile, wanna cry, don’t really know what is wrong, I think I am a fairly reasonable person, and have worked with Pt for couple thousands of hours. I am afraid I will be screen out due to Casper, I am usually decent in interview, kind of sad now because my Casper, I swear I am not a sociopath….

Hi, I would not stress!! You sound like an amazing applicant and from what I’ve seen it seems like an more of a tool to compare applicants not exclude them. I truly believe in the power of reaching out and I think it’s worth telling your story! Good luck, you will be great!

Congrats on the II! So exciting. I have an underage drinking ticket from years back and I’m really nervous this is going to be the reason I don’t get accepted to medical school. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! And don't let it worry you, it happened a while ago (like my ticket) so all you have to do is tell them how you've matured. Best of luck!

Really wish this school allowed updates. I just got a first author publication and would've loved to add that!
