[Iron Man23]

OOS With strong ties secondary received. Very confused on how to fill this out.

 

[Iron Man23]

do we have to upload the selective service form for the secondary? On the website it says its required, but on the document upload area it says optional.

 

[soldier boy]

OOS With strong ties secondary received. Very confused on how to fill this out.

how were you able to mention specifically you had "strong ties" to Louisiana on your primary? just curious

 

[Saintsguy323]

Does anybody know if you receive a confirmation email after uploading your documents and submitting the secondary payment? I uploaded the documents and submitted my payment but have not received confirmation.

I got a confirmation saying they received my electronic secondary. Also a real email confirmation for reception of my DL as well.

 

[Iron Man23]

got the same thing. However in the confirmation for my secondary, it said they will send an email when my file is complete. So looks like they are still hand checking that each document is in.

When did you submit and how long did it take for you to get an email saying they received your secondary?

How long did it take you after uploading documents/submitting payment to receive the confirmation?

 

[Saintsguy323]

Sorry for the additional question, "submitting" the secondary means you just uploaded the documents and payed using the portal correct? I did not see a button to "submit"

Correct. And 1 business day.

 

[Gqueen4]

Has anyone received a "File Complete" email yet? I received an email receipt for my payment on 7/1 and an email on 7/2 saying that my secondary app was received but I still haven't gotten a "File Complete" email.

In the exact same situation.

 

[Tomsauce]

Honestly shocked I got an OOS secondary (turned in 6/28; received 7/10). I interned in Louisiana for 3 months and this time period is a large reason why I wanted to pursue medicine, but everyone said I had no chance.

 

[chimpmd]

I saw that that they require 3 science LORs?? How bad is it if I only have 2 and have other letters?? Is it worth sending in my 50 dollars?

Is the interview open file traditional? Or is it some other format? I just want to know if they’ve read our file

there's three separate one on one interviews! it's a mix - some of them have your application, some of them don't, and they're all supposed to be asking about different things about you (ethics, who you are, what you like to do, etc)

Would you say it’s a low stress interview? Also anything you think is a must to do before the interview to prepare?
