Hmm. You can wait the 24 hours for the actual link. But I followed these instructions to complete my secondary,

“If you do not receive email instruction within 24 hours after this notification, please visit https://explore.acheedu.org/, complete the form using the email address on your AACOMAS application and following the instructions. Once logged in, you should see a "Secondary Application" link on the left.”

If that doesn’t work, I’d call and ask for them to email the link. They are very nice. The secondary is REALLY important here because that means you’re pretty much getting an II. I got my II the next business day after submitting. But only after I completed the secondary AND completed the technical standards pdf.

Thank you! I reached out and got their assistance! Just submitted my secondary.

Hey guys feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the school. I'm a first year here at ARCOM.

 

[Neuronlova]

II this morning!

 

[Firetypestarter]

Just received the fee waiver form through email. Should my explanation for the missing item be detailed or straight to the point?
i.e. "I did not receive a DO letter, because I was not able to shadow a DO but rather an MD"

[Jball43]

What’s the post ii acceptance %?

It’s been as high as 88% and as low as 60%!
So good chances overall!

Hi ya'll! Just a reminder that each person's cycle will vary, if someone else received their secondary a week from applying does not mean that will be your case, and it definitely does not mean it is too late for you if you have been waiting longer! Application cycles can be grueling, try to keep your head high and be patient! Also, if you have updates, send those in as ARCOM admissions truly does look at applications holistically and they review applications once a week every week until the cycle is over. Be professional at all times in your emails! It is still verrrry early in the cycle, so try not to get too anxious yet.

With all that being said, be humble in your interviews! It doesn't matter if you went to a top ten school, you come from XYZ, or you have 10+ interviews, or just one. Eventually, you will pick ONE school to attend, and everyone will be on the same page.

Feel free to message me as the cycle goes on if you have any questions! I am happy to chat and share my personal experience and/or give advice.
Good luck!!

Hi! Where did you hear this from? Thanks

 

[Firetypestarter]

Has anyone received a secondary without a DO letter?

 

[Jball43]

Hi! Where did you hear this from? Thanks

Two places, I looked at multiple threads, especially the excel sheet in the 2020-2021 sdn section. This forum thread discussed the first few classes they’ve had and their acceptance rates post II. I think post #617 and a few beyond that discuss these stats if you want to look for yourself. They also have other schools listed so it’s a good resource, although somewhat outdated.

Second, they are forthcoming with this information if you ask while you’re in person there. I interviewed at ARCOM and did some field reconnaissance for the sdn squad. 😉
