Does anyone have that link for checking the status? I got from someone/somewhere and can't find it. It gave more information than the one through the regular secondary application link.
okay thanks for your reply!! my status now says that my letters are undergoing manual review to make sure they meet the requirements. Do you still think I should call or is that a good sign?
Yes, I submitted mine a week ago and it still says the letters arent received and the application is not complete !
thank you ! it finally changed todayYou could still call if you want because they can technically do a quick review on the phone with you, or at least that's what they did for me. Worst case scenario: they say people are working on it, so just be patient and keep an eye on your portal. Either way, you'll know that there's progress being made on your application.
mine just changed to this today "We have received your supplemental application. We have received three letters on your behalf, we are in the process of reviewing them."FWIW my status just changed today from "letters under review" to "Your application has been forwarded to the screening committee."

before it said that my letters were undergoing manual review
A lot of jobs I've worked in have given me a lot of clinical study experience so I spoke about that and my interest in academic medicine because of these experiences. I'm sure what you asked would be fine as well.I'm stumped with this areas of interest essay. Did you guys just talk about opportunities you'd explore in the areas you selected?
when did you take the CASPer test??Ah yea, that's what I meant. Hopefully you don't have to wait a week and a half or so for them to review them!
250 wordscan someone share the character limit for the second essay? the one about a stressful situation? Pretty please
I know in the past the application statuses have mainly been "applicant in progress/process" but mine has recently been "Your application is under consideration by the screening committee."
I was just wondering if anyone else has this status or knows if U of I might've changed the typical wording of their statuses? I also acknowledge that I am probably reading too much into this but I wouldn't be a pre-med if I wasn't mildly neurotic, right?
when did you take the CASPer test??
ahhh me too!! they said mine isnt complete because of CASPerJuly 9th
The same things happened to me. I think someone posted earlier on this thread saying they confirmed they will see the spacing how we originally submitted. Hoping that applies to the apostrophes as well!Did the space in-between paragraphs disappear for people when they looked back on their apps? Does the committee see how we originally submitted it?
Also for some reason two of my apostrophes became upside down question marks....
That essay is a mess and has been sitting open in my browser unanswered for 3 hours. I just don't know what they're asking exactly. Are they looking more for what I would do with those interests or how I will take in new information in medical schoolI'm stumped with this areas of interest essay. Did you guys just talk about opportunities you'd explore in the areas you selected?
I'm in the same boat. I'm irritated.They're waiting for CASPer??? Damn, I don't take it until August 10th.
MSAR says "late August"Does anyone know when they usually start sending IIs out?
I'm confused about the activities and employment tabs. In activities they only have 12 slots, but they ask for employment even though there is also an employment tab. If I put my jobs with my activities I won't have enough room. If you already submitted, did you just keep them separate?
Edit: Also, shadowing? Should I add this under 'Other'? Not sure if this needs to just copy my AMCAS activities or if it's ok that some things aren't listed here. Slightly frustrating since there aren't enough slots for me to fit everything from AMCAS. Thanks guys!
dammnn :/I just noticed that I did not fill out the Extracurriculars tab before submitting the secondary. I guess I can kiss Illinois goodbye.
Anyone know when II's start getting sent out?
Just added this school, I feel like I'm late but I wasn't aware of them being relatively OOS friendly. Hopefully I get a secondary soon
Does anyone know if mentoring or teaching assistant positions be classified as volunteering, leadership or other?
When were you complete?! LizzyM? IS/OOS?Has anyone else's status page changed to "We look forward to meeting you soon! Please call our office to schedule your interview with us"? I have not gotten an email or any other communication from them and would not have known this if I did not happen to check the portal just now.
