Thanks for the info. Did she specifically mention that they'd start sending invites again in Aug? Or just that they will resume interviews in Sept and Oct?
 
Hey guys! any news? This thread is so silent. Last year people had got interviews invitations in July for September and sept was fully booked up by 2nd week july. What is going on this year? :yawn: :whistle:
 
I assume there was no break last year. This year they decided to conduct interviews in june, sept and oct.
 
I got an email with an Incomplete application message today .... saying: although yours was sent before the dead line yours is incomplete?! I know CAAPID was complete and all supplement doc. was there.!!
Did not say what was missing?? There was a plenty of time before the dead line .... 10 days!! NO body said Nothing...
What a way to deal with people?! How can I trust and apply again!!!!

That's unfair and sad.
 
10 days is nothing. you cant blame the school for this if you are applying at the end time. sorry to hear this though. UPenn is a highly prestigious school and can't be careless regarding this.

Sorry to hear about that. Did you fill out the whole supplemental application including the additional questions, sent original TOEFL scores, NBDE Score report, had your LORs uploaded on CAAPID and sent the supplemental application fees?

Sorry to hear that. If you're sure you sent all the required documents, you should call and ask them what the problem is. Hope your problem gets solved. Good luck.

Check with them if they were able to see your ECE on CAAPID, mine was not visible to them and I emailed Sharon. May be ECE is missing, if that's the case you can talk to them. I had the same experience, I submitted my CAAPID early in April, they got back to me mentioning incomplete ECE and TOEFL. TOEFL took 3weeks, still my application got completed by April end. I recieved confirmation of application complete in June. I was dissapointed, since they are on rolling basis. No matter how early you start, something gets messed up.
