Anyone get a secondary yet?

Nope still waiting

did anybody else apply ED?

secondary will be sent next week.

Someone on SDN reported receiving one last Friday. Their app was verified 8 June… mine was verified 1 June and haven’t received one 😭

Is what it is… meet the min requirements?…we’ll all get one… eventually.

I truly don't think Mercer has started sending them out yet

I'm sorry, but what does #9 mean?

When does Mercer usually start sending out ED interview invites?

Is there a word or character limit for these questions? Thanks

Limit is 230 words for every question

Anyone else having a hard time uploading a picture of themselves into the secondary? Every other document besides that one will upload.

Did you ever figure it out? Because mine won't upload either.

Yes! I tried Google Chrome and Incognito mode. Neither worked. I also tried both jpg and jpeg files, both under the MB limit. Still did not work. So, I called! Spoke with a really kind lady who had me email her the jpeg, and she was able to upload it for me directly into my secondary! Hope that helps. I would not hesitate to call if you are having the same issue; the lady I spoke with seemed happy to help.

Yea I just got it 30 mins ago.
