How are you guys approaching the research prompts? I talked about research in my AMCAS as an MME and I'd basically be repeating myself...

Additional takeaways I couldn't write about in my primary app for the two research projects I was involved in. For example, I talked about how my first research experience taught me one of my most valuable lessons in handling failure.

Was anyone else's app marked complete despite not submitting all the required rec letters? Applied to both UP and Lerner and both were marked complete for me around 2am today, so not sure if it was manually done. The letters I submitted were enough to satisfy UP's requirements, but shouldn't have been enough for Lerner, so not sure what that's about. My main 3 letters are part of a packet from my school + 1 individual from a physician.

This happened to me for a different school and what worked for me was paying from my phone instead (logging in to the portal from a mobile device and paying from there instead of computer - no idea why this worked but might be worth a shot). Alternatively I've seen specific cases where the browser was the issue (google vs safari vs firefox etc) so maybe try to use a different browser if the phone doesn't work?
