When these things are all done, what’s left in order to be “complete” at a school? Will a school give a confirmation email when everything on the applicants part is submitted?

For most schools, you are complete when you finish those requirements and pay the secondary application fee. For a very few there are other things you need--like Rosalind Franklin requires the CASPer test (but the vast majority of U.S. schools don't).

Every school I applied to sent a confirmation email once I was complete, but it took a long time for Rosalind Franklin to send theirs due to the CASPer.

I never got a completion email RFU. Just a rejection email. When I asked them the status of my app, they said in review, and basically not to ask them again.

RFU seems like the new Georgetown

Weird! But yeah, they were really not on it this year. Finished my secondary in late July (CASPer as well), got the complete email in late October. And when I interviewed (in Feb), they still didn't provide details about their new curriculum, which I thought was a little sketchy. I'm about to take on a metric f***-ton of debt but you can't/won't tell me how you plan to teach me?* Instead the presenter went around the room and asked each person about their expectations for the day, which was...clearly not a question any of us had prepared for.


*I'm no expert on what makes a curriculum "good" or "bad," but it's an important point of comparison among schools.
