Still waiting on II :/
marked complete 7/12
Don’t lose hope, it took about a month for me to get mine. And I’m sure they’ve got tons of applications to go through right now so maybe they’re moving slower

For those of you who received II, when was your file marked complete and how long was it until you got your II? My file was marked complete yesterday, 7/16, and I'm just curious as to when I would hear back. Thanks
Everyone getting IIs today. When did you guys submit your secondary?
Application received on 6/20; secondary submitted/ received and application complete on 6/28; II on 7/24
 
Status page is down.

Do DO schools look at subsection scores or do they just look at the overall score?

So it depends! Some DO schools want a minimum percentage per section while others have an overall score cut-off! I would suggest checking out the MCAT requirements for each school you're planning on applying to beforehand! Typically their websites have this info but calling is also an option!!

Did anyone get an interview confirmation email with an attachment that needs to be signed? On this attachment it has a spot for a "witness" to sign. Who exactly is this lol?

Yeah I got that email. Maybe we need a notary?

Mine has been doing the same for almost a week. For some reason, the status page is down.
Ah I see. I received an II from UIWSOM so my portal automatically opens up to the interview tab. However, I just tried the status tab and it gave me an error notice. I say that if it isn't fixed by tomorrow afternoon, either try emailing or calling admissions!

They said extra copies will be available the day of interview. Someone there will probably be able to be a witness.
Any idea why that was sent to you guys? I did not receive anything that mentioned something to be signed when I received my II

Neither did I! It's good to know they'll have copies at the interview then hopefully this email was just to get a head start!

I received the form when they sent an email 1 week before my interview date with more details on the interview, not in the initial invite email.

I've had this issue for the past few days.. I emailed them today about it but haven't heard back yet.
 
The "status" tab looks to be working again.

I interviewed there today, and I honestly was super nervous going in. But everyone is really really kind and I ended up having a lot of fun. So I know you’ve gotten this advice before, but do try to have fun. :) y’all will do great!

Interviewed today. Everyone was very friendly and the entire process was very comfortable. I could tell some of the applicants were put off by the area as it's a decommissioned airforce base that was repurposed and the area is in a underserved area. The Dean's words of "if you want to talk the talk then walk the walk" really resonated with me. Being a newer unproven school, there is that to consider but overall loved their message and community outreach. Looking forward to hearing back!
