Been getting them like crazy, but all mine had "application completed" checked. There were a couple that were suprises like Indiana. According to PASS information, they didn't need anything and then you receive that PASS card, Indiana required everything (official NBDE score report, official transcripts, 3 letters sent directly, etc.). What a bunch of BS! Why couldn't Indiana OMFS update that to the PASS people?

There was another place like that I had to deal with, I forgot which one. But yes, I've been receiving these PASS application update cards for awhile now.

What else do they need andy apart from pass, since it is next to impossible to get hold of them

Hmmm. I believe that this is why everyone recommended that you call each program that you apply to and ask what they require. This statement reminds me of what I have to hear from stupid, irresponsible patients every day--that nothing is their fault. How about taking a little personal responsibility for your lack of initiative rather than blaming a school for not sending all their requirements to PASS. I guess that we can call you "Mr. Proactive".

Nope sticking to it, it's the school's fault.
