Am I missing something? I am looking in the email for my personal discover.acom microsite link, and I can't find anything. Anyone know where to go?

Same! I just received my secondary minutes ago (Yay!!!) but cannot find the link to "discover.ACOM" on the website, nor anywhere else on the internet.

I might just reach out and ask about it. I tried everything!

Please post what they say if you do! I figured I'd wait a couple hours to see if they send a f/u email with the link. I looked all over their website and couldn't find anything-all the admissions information just refers to it as the "supplemental application" or "supplemental application portal". And discover.acom.com doesn't exist, and discover.acom.edu is just an email list sign up for prospective students. Not helpful at all...

Is there a high instate bias for this school
"Breaking down the Class of 2021: 48 percent of the students came from Alabama, Georgia, and Florida while the remaining students represent 25 states."

Just called ACOM about the discover.ACOM link. They will be sending out another email to fix this issue.

There should be a separate email for the link. I found mine in the “social” mail box in my gmail account.
 
With a 510/3.4 why is this your first choice? Especially from FL

Where exactly did ya'll find the secondary application? I just got the email for the microsite.
 
Anyone received a confirmation after they completed the secondary?
 
On the microsite in the top red ribbon where the options are, one of them is "supplemental application"

Idk if its just me, but I don't see an option for that. I see an applicant checklist but nowhere with an option for supplemental
 
Just got an email saying I was complete, so expect to get them soon as well.

I'm taking mine today because another campus requires it, I was curious as to whether or not you guys think we should send ours into Alabama if its optional ? I've read mixed reviews on here.

I just sent mine everywhere. Never really thought much of it to be honest. I'm not a psycho so I'm sure it won't hurt lol.

My same thought process. I've seen some people on these forums act like it could make or break you, but I think they are just looking for an easy way to sort out crazies that might otherwise make it to the interview because they have good grades. I like to think I'm a sensible person, so I'm not worried.

Secondary received; no trace of a link to my microsatellite page though. Checked junk, social, promotions, etc.
Had same issue, I emailed and they sent me a link!

In 2017-2018, first rounds of II's were sent on June 27th. Last year, first rounds of II's were sent on July 13th. We are officially in ACOM's II season! Best of luck everyone! Hopefully we all get good news within the next few days :D
