The prompts are the following:
...
Assign competencies (must be done in 1 sitting, by Dec)- basically you assign a competency to each experience you've listed on your app
Service orientation, leadership, research experience, teaching or tutoring, cultural competence, clinical experience
Took me like 10 mins

It seems like we cant see the prompt until we start the secondary, and it has to be completed in one sitting
True that it must be completed in one session, but you are still allowed to open it and look at the questions. They are just saying that you can't save your responses, close it, re-open, and continue.

For the question about explaining your connections, if your connection to Ohio is simply that you are an Ohio resident with no other ties to the school, is it worth writing anything?

what if you have a friend that goes to boonshoft; that count as a connection?
Idk man I'm just an applicant :( But I'd say that's not really significant...
I also know a few peeps there, but felt that'd it'd be a pitiful attempt at establishing a connection

Do you need to receive the separate emails they refer to with instructions before gaining access to the prereqs and competency activities. Their instructions are not clear. I have not received any separate email for those. Thanks and congrats for getting your submission in. Best of luck :)

Ayyyy late night secondary gang! Nah, if you got one email, just access their portal through the link. You'll find everything in one place with instructions. Best of luck 2u2!

secondary submitted. Anyone else not receive any type of email confirmation after submitting?
 
Hi all. When assigning prereqs do we only assign the minimum required or add all courses that meet the prereq? Example, I have 8 biology courses with labs so do I had all 8 or only the 2 that meet the six credit requirement? Also does it need to a course that has an associated lab or any combination of lecture/lab classes? Thanks

I only did the minimum. I think they just want to see that you have those prerequisites. If they wanted more they would look at your transcript

I did all of them because I saw this in the directions: "Please match any classes that fulfill the prerequisites below." But like you said they can just look at your transcript. I don't think it matters too much what you do

I didn’t get anything. Not even a payment confirmation 🤷🏻‍♀️
I received a secondary 2 days after I was verified, submitted my secondary the same day I received it, and got a "we have received your secondary application and competencies activities" email 2 days post-submission.

EDIT: Thought I'd add this:
