Hi! I am having the same problem - @TK1121 @ninstonbiller were either of you able to resolve this? I am freaking out just a teensy bit haha! I'm wondering if it's appropriate to call the school. Thank you.

Double check if you entered a response to the LOR requirement for if you participated in a graduate program. I was not able to submit at first because I did not notice it was mandatory and not optional.

Ah I see! I answered both 🙁 thank you though!!

I was able to submit once I said N/A for the letter writers and graduate letter (even though I said yes to a packet, looks like the letter writer 1, 2, 3 space is mandatory / same with graduate letter) Did you enter something in the space or just select no?

Yeahhh for some reason I filled everything out and still couldn't submit. What ended up working was putting each letter writer's name as "N/A" even though that section is marked as optional for me. Not sure why it came up as optional but hey at least I can submit. Thank you so much!!!

Yes I had to add N/A for the letter writers and that fixed it!!! thank you!!

 

[unbotheredlizard]

Does anyone know if the lab prerequisites need to be a full year also? I only have one semester of lab for one of the subjects because that's what was offered at my school, and was wondering if this is fine or not
