Any other verified applicants still waiting on secondaries? It's probably just them releasing secondaries in batches, but I've had email troubles with another school where their secondary didn't sent even though it should have, so just trying to make sure I'm not alone here.

I'm still waiting as well! Seems like most every school is sending in batches this year. All of mine have trickled in so far.

Does anyone else see Duet not marked as received despite having completed it and having done CASPER?

 

[Bowel-Plumber]

+1 OOS MSTP.

Does anyone else see Duet not marked as received despite having completed it and having done CASPER?

Yes. I assume someone just has to apply it manually. I'd give it a few days before reaching out.

 

[Candyi]

Anyone with CASPer marked as receive but not Duet on their portal? How do I send Duet to them? I thought they were sent together?

 

[Sneakyboi10]

Does anyone know if completing the CASPER + DUET is required to receive a secondary? I've completed CASPER, but not DUET, since the other schools I applied to did not need it.

 

[sunshinedoc77]

Does anyone know if completing the CASPER + DUET is required to receive a secondary? I've completed CASPER, but not DUET, since the other schools I applied to did not need it.

unsure, but, duet is just a bunch of questions about school preferences and takes 20 minutes to do. I would just knock it out so it gets sent.

 

[wafflefriess]

Does anyone know if completing the CASPER + DUET is required to receive a secondary? I've completed CASPER, but not DUET, since the other schools I applied to did not need it.

I don't believe so, but I think they are both required to complete your application. I've done and sent both but still haven't received a secondary.

 

[Rite1234]

I had this issue with another school. They usually have to download the DUET scores separately from CASPer, and they do this once or twice a week.
