Anyone care to post the secondary questions? Are they the same at all three campuses?

I got the same email. I'm an international applicant, Canadian citizen.
 
Hi Everyone! I'll be an OMS I this year! If anyone has any questions in which I can help with, please don't hesitate to reach out! I wish you all the best of luck!

That's when I submitted my secondary, but I never received a complete email. Only email I received was confirmation of secondary payment, so I'm wondering if I need to call VCOM.

I mistyped. By complete I meant everything but secondary. I haven't received that

Yeah same, I submitted my secondary on 7/7 and still haven't gotten a complete email. When I go to my secondary it has my submission and date and "Validation Passed: Yes" in the top right corner. Are you seeing the same thing? I might call today
 
Just submitted my primary application to this campus. Hopefully I get a secondary soon, assuming I meet their initial screening, crossing my fingers :xf:

I'm in the same boat. :/ I was verified around the same time, received an email that they were going over my application a week later, and then silence..

This past week has been orientation. Everyone has been really busy. I wouldn't look too much into it yet.

There is a link at the bottom of the email to check your status.

Never got a complete email. Nothing had changed in the portal this morning when I checked. So I guess today? I submitted 07/28

Do you go to College of Osteopathic Medicine - Application Login for the portal login? If so, how long did it take for you to be able to login? My application was completed on 8/9/17 but I still haven't been able to login anywhere to check on the status.

In the email that had the link for the secondary, there was also a link for the portal at the bottom. Once you're offered an interview a new tab pops up that says "interview".

Congrats on the II!!! Quick question: how long after you submitted your secondary where you offered an II?

My physician LOR was sent yesterday, and they updated the portal today, so I'm hoping to hear good news in the next few weeks.

Thanks!!

Have you decided on a date yet? Where there still a lot of dates offered to interview?

No I was a regular applicant, and I chose the first Monday in October. That was purely because it is close to my hometown and I wanted to spend the weekend home before the interview. There were non-Monday dates available in late September.

Secondary Submitted 8/19 and haven't been marked complete. How long has it taken everyone to be marked complete?

For the people that have received an II, do you mind sharing stats and if you are IS (SC/NC) or OOS?
 
Any new II's? Been complete since 8/29 and submitted 7/14

No one has posted anything. I am anxiously waiting for an update from someone. I was marked complete on 9/08, submitted the secondary on 8/25.

From their complete email I found this: We will begin reviewing completed applications in early August, 2017 and will schedule our first interviews for early decision applicants in mid-September, 2017 and for our general application pool in early-October, 2017.

So according to this information, do you think it's safe to assume that they wont be making any new IIs until October?

I spoke with someone in admissions at the end of last week. They are currently reviewing applications and calling for interviews.
