Canadian placed on hold. Secondary submitted 7/18

IS placed on hold. LM of 80. Could this potentially be yield protection due to my stats for holding my application until later in the cycle or is it simply my other ECs weren't as good to receive an interview?

Are you guys able to see updates from upstate on the portal? My portal is empty, it looks exactly how it did before submitting.

+1 IS II LM76, submitted 7/9 (strong ties to central NY)
Anyone get interview dates earlier than Sep 24?
 
The admissions team sent me an email on 7/25 saying that my application was incomplete because they did not have my MCAT score report. I took the MCAT in May and had the score report on my primary, but I also listed a future retake date in September. I tried emailing them and calling the office numerous times since then to tell them that I will be canceling this retake and that I would not like to defer my application til my score report from the September retake. Has anyone else been experiencing delays in responses from the admissions team? I have ties to the area and believe I wrote my secondary responses very well. I would really like my application to be complete as soon as possible, but they have yet to email or call me back.
 
any other OOS waiting for secondary?
On MSAR it says the secondary invite is sent to all verified AMCAS applicant. However I still haven't received anything. I am OOS. Do they send in batches? It looks like many people have received interview invitations already. Should I email the admissions at this point or just take it as a R...? Thanks for any advice!
 
Anyone else IS waiting for a secondary? Submitted my primary a little late on 6/10 was verified on 7/15
 
if i submitted 7/29, should i be expecting to hear back soon about an app update soon? seems like a lot of ppl have been notified of holds/ii who submitted around my submission date
 
Did anyone submit, pay, and then re-enter the secondary portal to see no submission record?
This happened to me as well - I got an email saying medical supplemental app recieved and the email saying thanks for payment.
 
Does anyone know where your status gets updated? Right now on my application summary there isn’t an application status section. Is that normal?
 
This might be a stupid question but should I answer the "ties to central NY" question if I don't have specific ties to central NY but have significant ties to upstate NY? I feel like I should mention the ties but I'm not sure where to do that

I think you could draw parallels! mentioning ties I feel like is usually helpful 🙂 unless you’ve never ever been to CNY haha then maybe not but if you’ve been upstate you’ve probably been around parts of CNY or know people from there!
 
Question! Did anyone apply for the rural program / how did you upload your answers? I am md/mph but don’t see a spot to put these essays? Gonna email admissions but since it’s the weekend figured I’d check🙂
 
Mhm, I asked for a fee waiver and unfortunately didn't get it for the secondary. Not sure if it's still worth it to do it at this point? Is anyone still writing or hoping to? - Canadian applicant
 
Sorry if I have completely missed it somewhere but how do we know if our application is complete? I just got an email it was submitted a while back but no complete email or status update in the portal (if there is any update).

Is the status section blank for everyone? I'm really confused by the way their portal operates lol
 
Is their portal not working for anyone? It says access forbidden for me when I try to go on it. Worked last night..

Their portal is so finicky they need to fix it lol. I realized it generally works if you click log out, (mine stays logged in even if I leave it for like a week), and then I use an incognito chrome browser to open the portal again
