I sent my letters through Interfolio on 6/26!
I am having the same issue, my LOR and MCAT are incomplete............... Submitted 6/28
I had the same problem. I called the school and the admissions counselor told me that they have trouble sending to UMich emails and that they had sent mine 5 days prior and I just hadn't received it. I made a new email and got it the same day. I am unsure if we will have problems with any other schools sending secondaries but I was not too happy about losing out on 5 days for nothing 😵
I just realized today that you have to go to the AAMC website and authorize that they sent your MCAT score to AACOMAS, the scores aren't sent there automatically. Reason a lot of schools haven't been able to send me a secondary yet
Any picture where you look professional is good (i.e., a recent picture of just you, dressed nicely, with no offensive slogans or such on shirts, etc.). Just try to use common sense. It doesn't have to be professionally done!
Can we send our letters through both? I have had some trouble with several letters on aacomas, but I have 3 letters that have already been sent and 3 more that need to be re-submitted due to errors. Do you think it would make more sense to send the letters through interfolio that I'm resubmitting? Do they take awhile to send them out?
Mine are different letters, due to many of my authors not using official letterhead or signing the letters 🤔...I got interfolio to re-send those letters, but I am banking on AACOMAS coming through for the 2 letters that were good to go...not sure if I should just send all of the letters again, but interfolio is quite a bit to send each letter. Not sure what to do
Check the size of the photo. They have size limitations on the portal or try cropping it (you only really need a headshot)
Yup, definitely having photo upload issues. My photo is the correct size and I even tried both chrome and firefox with no success. I get an error page saying they know about the issue and are working on fixing it. Hopefully I'm not the only one experiencing this?
I am also experiencing this. I cannot upload a picture!
Good news, I tried again today and the photo upload works now 🙂
Still waiting on both of mine as well! This AACOMAS system is literally the most frustrating company I have ever dealt with...

How long did your MCAT take to be marked as "official" after sending it to AACOMAS via THX? I sent mine July 5th and have yet to have it verified.
on ur phf, if your mcat is official, then it means they have ur score. if your mcat is, unofficial, then they dont have it
ok cool. thanks
school need to update with aacomas once a while, my secondary at msu is officially completed today, they start to download ur mcat score
Yes
Beginning this year all candidates for admission will go through an interview.
I was told on the phone that interview candidates would still be chosen based on their primary application and then acceptance was based on interview + secondary screenings?
when did you submit?
I don't actually know exactly how the process will go, but my uneducated guess is that the interview invites are based off of a cursory screen (are they academically capable? are numbers above a cutoff? are academic requirements met/going to be met?) while the later committee review will include all aspects of your application plus interview feedback to determine if you're an all-around good fit. 🙂
Haha well between the two of us we should be able to answer a lot...!
It's nothing but cons, I hate not being able to see my wrong answers
I went to the open house at the DMC and all the students raved about the chairs! I agree they were insanely comfortable.
