did anyone else who already submitted their secondary get an email from them saying "waiting on materials"?

Yeah I got something like that. I think it just means there waiting on CASPER/LORs/MCAT. Your checklist in the portal will update as they get stuff coming in and added to your file.

ok got it, so its stuff on their end as opposed to us needing to submit more things

After submitting the secondary do your application pages say "Access Denied"? Not sure if that's a feature or a bug

edit: nvm turns out u need to bookmark the submission page

I think it’s bug. I have same issue

has anyone gotten "error retrieving attributes" when trying to access the portal?

yes

were you able to resolve the issue?

I have also gotten this issue I just submitted a help desk submission form

mine is working now
