Is anyone else having trouble uploading their headshot?
I was wondering this too but for employment and clinical (I worked as an MA). For now, I have it listed twice but I’m curious about other peoples opinions on this.If majority of my clinical experience was done through volunteering, should I mention it twice for the chronological listing in questions 3/4?
For example, if I volunteered at a free clinic doing clinical work would I list it with my paid scribe job in question 3, and with another volunteering experience in a food bank for question 4?
an office staffer has to mark your letters complete manually in your portalOOS submitted. Quick Q, it says that they haven't recieved my letters yet, but they were all submitted / sent through AMCAS? Is anyone else having this issue?
that makes sense, thank you so much.an office staffer has to mark your letters complete manually in your portal
+1, and other secondaries aren't giving me this issue, only Miami. Perhaps it will update during regular business days.Just submitted my secondary and uploaded my photo. Underneath it says "Letters of Recommendation NOT received" , "We have not received your Letters of Recommendation from AMCAS", "please verify that the letter writers have properly submitted your letters"
Not sure why its saying this as they were all properly uploaded to AMCAS. Anyone else having this message pop up?
So far I have some that are around 500 words, but others that are around 350ish. It really has been depending on the essay for me.I am wondering on average how long people's responses are! Mine are at ~400 but unsure if I should reflect and expand more or leave it. Thanks!

Also wondering thisDid you guys write a description of your activities in the volunteer and employment questions? I have a good amount of overlap, so I was wondering if I'd need to write new descriptions for the same activities listed in multiple questions.
No, it doesn't say describe only list...⁷Also wondering this
I also had this issue, any ideas?I accidentally clicked one of the buttons for a question for "reapplicants" and now I can't uncheck it. I'm not a reapplicant - does anyone have any idea how to undo this?
I've been completely stuck and unable to uncheck it - frustrating since I've written all the essay but don't want to submit saying i'm a re-applicant. Have you found a way? I emailed them but no response yet.I also had this issue, any ideas?
Either wait to hear from them, or if there is a text box for your reply, type "I accidentally checked this box but I am not a reapplicant"I've been completely stuck and unable to uncheck it - frustrating since I've written all the essay but don't want to submit saying i'm a re-applicant.

I am curious about this as well, but I did mention it in why I selected to apply to UM.Does anyone know where/how we indicate interest in the accelerated 3 year MD program?
Did you end up just submitting the secondary as is? Thinking of doing what wysdoc suggested if I don't hear back tomorrow.I also had this issue, any ideas?
Just checked and mine is still like that as well. However, I submitted yesterday.Does anyone know how long it'll take them to verify the letters - mine has been stuck at "Letters of Recommendation NOT Received" for a couple of days.

I too am experiencing this same issue. Glad to know I'm not the only one.Does anyone know how long it'll take them to verify the letters - mine has been stuck at "Letters of Recommendation NOT Received" for a couple of days.
Yup, I have this same message too even though my letters were marked as received in May on AMCAS, and other schools I have submitted applications for have said they received them. My plan is to wait until next week to see if they are just downloading the files, and e-mail them about this issue then if it is not fixed.Just submitted my secondary and uploaded my photo. Underneath it says "Letters of Recommendation NOT received" , "We have not received your Letters of Recommendation from AMCAS", "please verify that the letter writers have properly submitted your letters"

Just checked my portal and same.Update, my application has been marked complete today.
Where does it say not to put a grade in for AP courses? I looked everywhere and didn’t find any info about what grade to use for AP courses, so I ended up putting “P” (pass) as my grade for the APs and submitting so my secondary wouldn’t be delayed. But I’m worried they’ll think it’s a college course I took as pass/fail… they still look at the AMCAS coursework right??It says not to put a grade in for AP courses. For the year I'm putting the year I began attending college because that's when the AP courses were accepted by my university, so that's the year that shows on my transcript too. As for the name of the AP courses, I'm unsure about that myself. Currently I'm just using the title that I had on my transcript, but does anyone else have any input?
I don't have access to the application questions anymore because I submitted but I thought it said it in the instructions right before the classes. Unless I'm mistaken? Either way, I explicitly wrote "AP" course in the description so that they know it's not a course I took in college.Where does it say not to put a grade in for AP courses?

Is there even a place in the portal to upload it?Is anyone else having trouble uploading their headshot?
Update: They reset my secondary so that I can submit it without the re-applicant question.I've been completely stuck and unable to uncheck it - frustrating since I've written all the essay but don't want to submit saying i'm a re-applicant. Have you found a way? I emailed them but no response yet.
Did you ever find out? I can't seem to find it on the secondary like their website suggestsDoes anyone know where/how we indicate interest in the accelerated 3 year MD program?
Thank you for reaching out.Did you ever find out? I can't seem to find it on the secondary like their website suggests
Hey! I am in the same boat. What did you end up doing?Hi, does anyone know how strict they are for the biochem requirement? My school is on the quarter system and only required us to take one biochem course if you aren't majoring in biochem. We were also only required to take 2 gen chem courses and 2 ochem courses, each with a separate lab, but the portal says not to include lab classes. Not sure how to proceed... thank you!!
Decided not to send a secondary lol. Heard it was a waste of time from some friends (not sure how reliable because everyone had slightly different experiences). They said you might need to find a way to take a second biochem before matriculation. Again, not sure if this is true or not, just sharing my info. :/ Wish there was more clarity on thisHey! I am in the same boat. What did you end up doing?
