stats if you do not mind?
1st quartile gang rise upI also received an II from VCU with a 1st quartile Ca$per
If it makes you feel better I was complete 7/19 and my status still has not changed from that either.Anyone complete after 7/21 have their status change from "a member of the committee"?
did you get an email stating your file review was complete? Im still on MD file complete...ripMy file review is complete, but I have not heard back about an II or anything else. Is this a bad sign?
I get that sometimesDoes anyone have this glitch that when they login to their secondary portal, the secondary first appears (with all your responses, and secondary questions) as if you haven't submitted it? But then when I go to the home page it displays the "member of committee" message. Lowkey panicking that my secondary wasn't submitted. Is this gitch normal??
check your URL, that happens to me when the link autofills and has /application at the endDoes anyone have this glitch that when they login to their secondary portal, the secondary first appears (with all your responses, and secondary questions) as if you haven't submitted it?

I did not. That is strangeany one else get an email from admissions saying that their system glitched and they never received any of the essays or is it just me
i was all the way at admission committee review and they had me resubmit. back to square one :"(
I went through the fmSTAT subcommittee, but I am not sure what other subcommittees you are referring to.Did people who got II go through subcommittees?
Oh man, I remember we both had that glitch when submitting earlier on. I thought they had confirmed via email that they received your secondary?any one else get an email from admissions saying that their system glitched and they never received any of the essays or is it just me

yeah they emailed me confirming that they received my info the day after I sent it in (7/6), but I guess they didn't check to see if the essays were in?Oh man, I remember we both had that glitch when submitting earlier on. I thought they had confirmed via email that they received your secondary?
I don't even have a printable application section lolIs it just me, or do all of your essays in the "printable application" also have their spaces removed between paragraphs? To me, it just looks like 1 big blob. Anybody else?
LOOL it's on the step 9 section of the secondary. maybe see if it's there?I don't even have a printable application section lol
ah, maybe its cause I already submitted? This is all I see:LOOL it's on the step 9 section of the secondary. maybe see if it's there?
Actually, funnily enough, but even though I have a med-school application-only email address, VCU's secondary still went to my spam. Even when I applied last cycle, all of VCU's stuff went directly to my email (not to spam) so I'm pretty sure they're having a lot of issues with technical stuffPSA to applicants who haven't received a secondary after adding it to their application:
So I added VCU to my application about 3 weeks ago and never heard back. I was curious if there was an error in their system so I went to the VCU applicant portal and was able to log in using my AMCAS ID and birthdate. When I got into the applicant portal it says that I have 60 days to complete the file from the "date and time of this notice to complete your file." At the bottom of that page, it has a due date which is 60 days from the day after I added it to my application (roughly 40 days from today). So apparently their system has me marked as having been sent the secondary, but I *definitely* did not (I have been obsessive in checking spam and such). Hope this doesn't happen to anyone else, but if it does, you know what to do now!
Same thing happened to me last month. The only reason I knew that I got a secondary was bc I was checking the portal - never got anything in my inbox or spam.PSA to applicants who haven't received a secondary after adding it to their application:

this happened earlier in the cycle too, it seems like vcu's email communications aren't workingSame thing happened to me last month. The only reason I knew that I got a secondary was bc I was checking the portal - never got anything in my inbox or spam.
Am also interested in thisdoes anyone know what sub-committees are?
If you look on page 3/4 of the thread, the VCU process is explained. From what I understand, you go from 'complete' -> 'a member of the committee' -> 'the subcommittee' -> 'admissions committee' -> 'file complete'. They're just being transparent about what stage of review you're in.Am also interested in this
Yes, I haven't moved from that status since 7/19.Has anyone not moved from "A member of the committee will now review your file" or something to that degree?
I think everyone moves on at some point even if it's a rejection. But it's only August 10th so no need to worry right now.Can one get stuck at a certain stage or does everybody move on?
Have also not moved since 7/11Has anyone not moved from "A member of the committee will now review your file" or something to that degree?
Have not moved since 7/9Have also not moved since 7/11
How many characters are allowed in the response for Questions 2-4? Including or not including spaces?Secondary prompts:
1) Cultural humility is defined as a "process of reflection and lifelong inquiry which involves self-awareness of personal and cultural biases, as well as, an awareness and sensitivity to significant cultural issues of others." Please provide an example of a specific time you demonstrated cultural humility with some reflection on the experience. (2000 char)
2) Please briefly explain any lapses in your undergraduate education that are not explained in your application.
3) Please briefly explain any low GPAs or poor grades.
4) If not addressed in your application, what are you currently doing now?
It's not listed on the secondary app, but if I remember correctly, somebody found through trial and error that it's somewhere between 2500-3000 characters with spaces. (Could be confusing it with a different school, they're all running together at this point...)How many characters are allowed in the response for Questions 2-4? Including or not including spaces?
TBH I think the interviews in September are the first interviews, so nobody really knows yet.Has anyone done their interview at VCU yet? I would like to know how it went, if it was stressful, etc.
Just for the sake of showing it really varies, I submitted secondary on 07/06 and still have not moved to sub-committee review.how long does it take until the app moves from subcommittee?
Yup me lmao. Giving up hope at this pointStill on member of committee will do a review since 7/14
My interview is in a few days, so I think the first round of interviews may have already happened? Not sure thoughTBH I think the interviews in September are the first interviews, so nobody really knows yet.
Honestly could just be your reviewer(s) being busy and not having gotten to your app yet.Is being stuck or subcommittee for a while bad then?
I've been on a "a member of the committee since 7/19." There's no need to lose hope yet. Its not even August 15th! Let's give time to review everyone's apps. If like by November or December we don't have anything then it might be time to worry.Yup me lmao. Giving up hope at this point
Oh if that's the case, there might be some people that interviewed, but they probably don't use SDN. The only dates I was offered were in September and I got my II on August 5th.My interview is in a few days, so I think the first round of interviews may have already happened? Not sure though
