Anyone else's app still marked as incomplete since letters of recommendation are still "pending"....Mine are showing up as sent, and I submitted over two weeks ago.

My LORs were "accepted" today, but I have not received confirmation of a completed app

Just came here to say that this application portal is absolutely wild.

When you go into their portal, they have what they list as a primary which consists of parts A-F. There is also an icon for their secondary essay questions next to the primary icon. That's where the secondary questions are located in the app.

how long did it take to get the secondary invite? i submitted my primary to iowa on 7/27 (was already verified but sent primary in batches), and i got an email that they received my primary but no secondary invite yet

My primary was (in theory) transmitted to them on 6/28. I received the email from them noting my primary was received on 7/8, and the request to submit the secondary on 7/22. I'm OOOS -- not sure if that matters.

It took a few days for me to get the complete app email. They also check that manually, I believe

Have all of the IIs so far been MD-only? Any MD/PhD?

Mild rural focus, no ties to Iowa. My state borders it but I don't think that matters for much of anything
