For those that applied way early....

Don't forget to call the schools you applied to and make certain if your file is complete. I applied to about 10 schools and sent in all my secondaries 1-2 month ago. I also had my undergrad university send in the committee letter 1 month ago.

Since I only heard from a few schools so far, I decided to call each one and see if my file was complete. I found out that TWO of the schools stated they did not receive my letters of recommendation which I found odd.

One was just a clerical error, they had my LOR's but did not record it as such, if I hadn't called, I would still be incomplete. The other school told me that since the name of the evaluator I listed was different than the one they received (my school recently changed pre-med advisors), they did not accept the original LOR's sent. I had to send an email to make the changes and that was simple enough.

This is just some advice. I am glad I called because one of the schools that had me as incomplete was one of my top choices. Best of luck with your apps. 🙂

good call. I had the same prob with PCOM. Got a letter saying my file was not complete due to the pre-med committee letter. They had sent a return reciept to my school over a month ago! Definitely check with the schools if anything, it'll help reduce the anxiety.
