I'm sorry you're going thru it. I am also an OSU grad + Columbus native (go bucks!) and got my secondary 7-11 even tho I was verified early on. I'm sure things will work out the way they are meant to. Take a deep breath and try your best not to worry too much about things out of your control. Its very likely you'll get one eventually. Sending you love and hugs, I was also a little frustrated my undergrad institution didn't immediately offer me a secondary but things work out for the best <3
 
Why Cant i submit my secondary? Literally refuses to direct me to the payment page. I love alma mater tOSU but this UI is awful and now not letting submissions is criminally insane
 
Anyone else get multiple e-mails from Ohio State *after* submitting their secondary, but they are about setting up an Ohio state username and password? Separate from the secondary portal? Seems a little strange

I also did and wasn't sure what to do other than activating my username? I think they should send a Vitals account access soon unless this has changed from previous years. I will update you if I get anything else!

FYI for anyone interested in the 3 yr Family Medicine track or Community medicine track, I was browsing the program info for that, and found out that you are supposed to submit an interest form for either track *before* submitting your secondary, because they send you a different app, and you are considered separately from the standard Ohio Secondary? Anyway, I submitted the form and did get an e-mail in response that I would be receiving a different app in 5-7 business days. Not sure if anyone else has gone through this process already and can confirm

yes you are supposed to submit that track form, then they will reach out later saying you are approved to change your AMCAS application from regular MD to specialty track. once you have done that, they will send a secondary invite. it took a little longer than the regular track for me because it is considered separately so the main campus will approve your primary, and then CMT or primary care track will approve it from what i understand. they dont send you a different one "Please note: if you have already received the link to the secondary, another will not be sent and you may fill out all Community Medicine essays and submit it."
 
For the essays, my apostrophes and dashes still turned into "?" after submitting. I did what they asked (using TextEdit and exiting the application to check), and all were normal before I submitted. Do I need to email them for this?

I had the same issue and thought hand-typing directly into the essay box would fix it. I emailed them and they just said, "The Admissions Committee is very familiar with these issues and why they occur." 🤷‍♂️

Im in the portal, but where exactly is it located at? Is it supposed to be on links?

mine just says your secondary is complete. i dont think there is really any other status until they review it and make a decision unless anyone else has anything else that they have seen
 
Does anyone's say "Please upload a professional photograph of yourself to help the interview team identify you on your interview day."

It’s for everyone in case you get an interview. You can upload early but it only matters if you get an II
