I've tried searching older threads but I haven't seen anyone get an answer on this - is the second prompt a mix of "why me" and a diversity essay, and if so are these two topics supposed to be related, or are people mainly just using it as a standard diversity essay?
 
I was marked complete yesterday but I only found out because I actually checked the portal. Under the communications tab, they said they emailed me but didn't lol did this happen to anyone else
 
for the phone interview notification peeps, when were yall complete?
I got the completion email on 7/19, experiences review stage (AMCAS and secondary review) email (as in they started reviewing it then, for clarity) on 7/21, and the under-consideration-for-phone interview email on 7/24.
 
Is presumably everyone under consideration for a phone interview after they are complete?

I’m guessing no? Since apparently they send an email when they reach the “experiences review stage” and a separate subsequent email for when you’re under consideration for phone interview.

Yeah just made me nervous in case I'd miss anything else from them
 
How long did you have to wait after you submitted your essays to receive a link for the online assessment? I thought this was going to be automatic (and fast).

Did you receive an email about experience review, or is that just a complete app?

Does anybody know what phone number they call from for the phone interview? Just trying to make sure I don't miss it

Were you invited for a phone interview? So far I’ve only received notification that I’m “under consideration for a phone interview” and haven’t been invited yet.
 
App moved to the experience review part

Do most applicants get to the experience review part, or is that more selective? Trying to gauge my chances for a phone interview lol

I think everyone gets experience review but not everyone moves on from that?

Lol same. Received confirmation of completion on 7/26. No email updates since. I think it’s important to remember that we never know the order in which they review apps. There’s too much uncertainty in this process and it’s still super early.

Do you get a second confirmation after the online assessment?

I took the assessment last week and they haven’t confirmed anything yet lol
Im glad they moved away from their own portal (it was bad) and started using AMP... But they should definitely just integrate the online assessment into the portal instead of separating the secondary from the online assessment.

Submitted the online assessment on 8/5 and still have yet to hear anything back -- sounds like this is normal??

You probably have a email in your communications section from ~8/7 saying you're complete and they'll let you know when you're under review - I and it seems a few others haven't actually gotten this email in our inbox though
