I got an email that said my application file was complete like 10-15 days after I submitted my secondary.

has anyone added this school after the initial transmit date and if so, how long did it take to get the secondary?

I have not, but is your amcas verified? I don't believe this school screens for secondary's. Should be soon once they verify you met requirements.

for the "greatest act of kindness" question, is it a bad idea to talk about something related to family? I dropped everything and flew halfway across the world to help my terminally ill brother for 5 weeks when he broke his hip and needed help with childcare and cooking and things. I've definitely done "acts of kindness" to non-family but this was probably the greatest? my brain is seriously fried from secondaries

I don’t think so as long as you display why it was an act of kindness to you/ qualities you demonstrated/ reflect on it. I also did something related to family because I know it meant a ton to my family member.

No i wrote about a super similar thing (sorry this happened to you)
but yeah I left an internship early because I had to take care of a family member for 3 weeks because no one else in my family was able to be in town

I got a complete email yesterday after submitting 7/1

 

[thomas112]

Is the complete email different from supplemental application confirmation email? On the portal everything for me is checked, but I got the aforementioned confirmation right when I submitted

yes, i received my supplemental confirmation email on 7/4, but received the complete email on 7/19

 

[ncpremed245]

Yeah, it seems that theyre taking a while to manually review each application for completeness. I was complete on 7/10, reached out because I thought it has been a while but they said they are reviewing applications and will send us an update email when it is complete.

 

[chemicalrush21]

Hey guys! When I go into my application portal, I see that the application status is "received," but when I click the "Chicago Medical School Supplemental Application" link it opens up my application and it looks like I can edit/update it..? Not sure why but it even has space to input credit card details at the bottom right above the update button, which is weird because I already paid this fee. Could someone else please check the portal for me?

Wow yeah, it looks like the same for me! That's so weird. I'm sure it's okay though

 

[chemicalrush21]

Okay, as long as other people's portals look the same it should be alright. Just weird tho bc it literally appears as if you can just resubmit the fee to update your application 😭 Can anyone else confirm too?

Yep, it does the same thing for me. I found out by accidentally deleting one of my essays post-submission a few weeks back 😅😅 luckily I got it back.

same here, think it's just a bad UI issue. They're the only secondary of mine to not use AMP lol

 

[thomas112]

Still haven’t received that secondary complete email, submitted 7/12

 

[dolephant]

Still haven’t received that secondary complete email, submitted 7/12

[sciencerules135]

Mine took at least 2-3 weeks

Does anyone else have an awaiting task that says "sign up for your interview" but never received a notification about an interview invitation? It gives me the dates and everything, but won't let me sign up for one which makes me assume that's just on everyones portal. They really gave me a heart attack LOL.

Mine does not show this

 

[averagepremed0101]

Mine doesn’t have that either

 

[Basalganglia4life]

Mine does not show this

When did you submit? it could be that your app just hasn’t been marked as complete yet. Make sure you click all the way through to “application checklist”

this happened to me for KCUCOM and that evening I got an II. Happened to people on the next few batches of II's as well so if I had to guess you and @Basalganglia4life might be getting II's shortly!

Unfortunately it is not on mine lol.

 

[addh99]

It shows that on mine as well.

[ecobio]

I dont have it and submitted 7/1

 

[Basalganglia4life]

when did you submit?

Submitted 7/04 complete email received 7/19. Lm 71.6

 

[averagepremed0101]

Very weird though, my portal has been uneditable since I got the complete email, but now my prompts are open to edit and there’s a pay option at the bottom even though i’ve been done for over a month

 

[ribonucleoprotein]

submitted 7/24 and nothing for me. but it’s much later so i’ll be patient lol

 

[redtrain21]

submitted 7/24 and nothing for me. but it’s much later so i’ll be patient lol

Did u even get complete email? I submitted 7/11 still have not gotten it yet

 

[aishahwjwodj]

I submitted it on July 1st and got a complete email on July 13th. Very strange

 

[ribonucleoprotein]

Did u even get complete email? I submitted 7/11 still have not gotten it yet

yeah i got it the same day i submitted

 

[redtrain21]

yeah i got it the same day i submitted

You sure it’s not the supplemental confirmation email?

 

[ribonucleoprotein]

You sure it’s not the supplemental confirmation email?

it says your application is now under review so assuming i’m complete too? or is that a completely separate thing?

 

[crowgirl]

Very weird though, my portal has been uneditable since I got the complete email, but now my prompts are open to edit and there’s a pay option at the bottom even though i’ve been done for over a month

same, but I don't have anything about scheduling an interview on my portal

 

[redtrain21]

it says your application is now under review so assuming i’m complete too? or is that a completely separate thing?

I got that too but people earlier said they got two emails with subject line as complete

 

[ribonucleoprotein]

I got that too but people earlier said they got two emails with subject line as complete

oh haha my bad. i had no idea. no i haven’t gotten that

 

[BigSneed]

Very weird though, my portal has been uneditable since I got the complete email, but now my prompts are open to edit and there’s a pay option at the bottom even though i’ve been done for over a month

Same here

 

[medandcats23]

oh haha my bad. i had no idea. no i haven’t gotten that

same. strange after being submitted for over a month

 

[happy_carrot]

I got that too but people earlier said they got two emails with subject line as complete

I also received that email, but on the checklist I have all green checkmarks w/ the date I submitted so I thought that meant complete? I didn't get an email saying "complete" just that my appt as received and under review right when I submitted - fwiw I also don't have the interview option/my answers appear "edit-able"

 

[thomas112]

I accidentally paid twice at one point

when did u submit? bc same

 

[happy_carrot]

when did u submit? bc same

7/15

 

[ribonucleoprotein]

7/15

7/24 for me

 

[ecobio]

RFU takes a while to review applications and mark them as complete. After you submit your secondary, you will later receive an email stating "We’re happy to confirm that your application folder is complete and ready for committee review!"

I submitted 7/1 and got the complete email after 2 weeks. I'd imagine it would take longer for those who submitted later.

 

[Basalganglia4life]

I looked at cycle track right now and it looks like the first wave of II invites came out mid september, so there is plenty of time. I wouldnt put too much weight in your portal not having an interview option as apps are generally divided between different screeners that go through apps at their own pace

 

[Amoebub]

I also see the "sign up for interview" checklist on my portal and it's letting me sign up for a date. Does anyone know if this means I received an II? I never got an email about it and I'm cautious to raise my hopes haha...
