How does logging in work? They say to use my AMCAS login, but that's not working so far.

You have to do "forgot your password" and use your AMCAS login and email. After that they send you an email to create a password and then you can log in.

Is anyone having trouble with login? I requested to reset my password like 2 hours ago but still have not received the email
 
Not sure if anyone has opened the secondary up yet, but for the section where you align your courses with the requisites, are you putting every course that matches or just one or two?
 
do you get an email verification if everything is submitted?

i think they just need one or two, but I'm putting everything because I'm paranoid LOL
 
Do they care about which letters we send? In terms of science professors, non-science etc
 
Did anyone get like a confirmation email when you subtitled the secondary? Also the recommendation letters are just the one from Amcas? We don’t to like upload any anywhere else?

We look forward to continuing the review of your application, and we hope to have the opportunity to invite you to campus in the near future.”

Got this too, a little concerned this might be a soft hold based on previous threads
 
Really? It sounds like its just moving from completed --> under review.

Might be mistaking this for another email but I remember applying last year and getting something like this when my friend who got in did not. I think it might’ve been a different email though this one seems fine

They haven't offered any IIs yet, so every person whose application is complete is now "under review." This isn't a "hold" email, it's just one that tells you your application is complete.
