I am currently in Peru and have super bad internet connection, so I have to use a hotspot. I tried to start the one-way interview using this hotspot. However, I was still struggling with connectivity issues and I was not able to upload my video and my interview kept cutting off with an error message that stated I lost connectivity. I was able to get into a secure location today, and my interview platform is currently saying I did question 1. However, I was not able to upload it and was not able to complete the first question when I first tried it. I am going to reach out to the support team, but I'm worried I screwed my chances.

You should be fine. I had a similar situation happen while I was at a hotel on vacation. I called and spoke with someone in the admissions team who helped me out :)

Has anyone received a confirmation email saying that their application is complete? It is marked in my portal as "ready" but I haven't received an email so I am not sure if I am missing something.

I emailed them about this because I also didn't recieve a confirmation email and they said my application was complete. So I think if you submit the SparkHire and secondary you're fine.

Not all schools send out emails for this.
If your portal shows it as "ready" I think this means a human will read your application now.

During the interview, UTMB makes you record your 50 M Freestyle time to make sure you're physically prepared for the water.

Has anyone received a secondary and a fee waiver even if you haven’t applied to any waiver? Is this given to all applicants? Thanks kindly ☺️

I was just about to ask this. My application was transmitted yesterday, and I received the secondary submission email today. About 20 minutes later, I received an email saying that my secondary fee had been waived.

Sometimes a school will offer it on the basis of the socioeconomic information you entered on your primary application.
Nice to save a few $$

If I'm unavailable on the interview date(s), do I just have to wait for more dates to open up?

I believe your application is ready to go even if your LORs are not yet complete.

I’m no expert, but if it were me I would give the admissions folks a polite call or email to see what your options are.

I was unavailable on the date for two other schools (lol) but I just emailed them and they switched it! I would be proactive and ask to reschedule because just not scheduling anything could come across badly.

UTMB also admits a lot of people before match because they admit many who usually get admitted also to other ranked schools within Texas and so they lose many during match. I think they admit 400 or so overall pre and post match?
