I personally submitted my unofficial transcript because my official transcript did not individually breakdown the AP credits that I received.

And are resumes, essays good to add on? It says optional but is it something they really want? What about letters of rec? Did you need to resend those in?

kayywri Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Has anyone thought about contacting them regarding the letter of recs? I have 5 in on caspa and I want to make sure that the ones uploaded on the portal cover the requirements. I am debating calling and asking or just assuming they picked the right ones.

So I emailed them last week (lol what is chill) and got this response today: Quote "No, PCOM will accept all transcripts and letters of recommendation from CASPA. You do not need to resubmit the transcripts or letters. Once you pay the fee please allow 10-15 business days to process your application. All letters submitted to CASPA will be accepted. The Upload Materials section is not required. The Upload Material section gives you an opportunity to update the committee if you wish. No essay is required outside of the CASPA essay. Thank you for your patience." So it looks like things might just sort themselves out? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lgm24 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I am confused by what the writing sample is. I don't see any supplemental questions on the PCOM portal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspiringpa01 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Hi everyone! I submitted my application on 7/13 and paid my supplemental fee through the portal on 7/16. As of yesterday (7/19) it looks like my LORs and transcripts were carried over into the PCOM portal from CASPA. I know this was a discrepancy for a lot of us but it seems like it just takes a few days to carry these documents over after receipt of payment. Looking forward to hearing updates, good luck to all!

Unfortunately I saw that only 3 of my letters got forwarded to them, and I can't tell which ones? I had emailed them the other day with all of these questions and they are able to see all CASPA letters and all transcripts in CASPA. They only show 3 on their portal because they only require 3. Here's the actual email I received: "Thank you for your email. PCOM will accept all transcripts and letters of recommendation from CASPA.

It still says they are waiting for my letters of rec? Should I email them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc101 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I set up my portal on 7/16 and everything looked fine -- I had 3 letters of rec and submitted my payment and all had the green check mark saying I was good to go. I just logged on to the portal this morning and now all three letters of rec AND my payment have red X's and say "awaiting". Help!

Hopefully they can fix it soon. I think I figured it out! In the top right of the portal there is a drop-down menu to choose which program you applied to. For some reason on mine, the PA program is listed 3 times. When I select one of them, it has all of the green checks. The other two don’t! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also got two more of the automated emails saying they received my application from CASPA and to make sure it's complete (I guess these went along with the two extra listed applications in the portal that are marked as incomplete).

Ribyy Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Is anyone else having an update issue? My portal is stating I do not have a Letter of Recommendation from a MD/DO/PA/NP. Although, one of my LOR is from a PA... I emailed them about it, but wanted to double check on here since I know there was a glitch this morning!

kayywri Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Anyone else just get an email about their application being incomplete? Everything is listed as received and I know my application is complete so I am wondering if it’s another portal error. Seems to be happening a lot. Also my letter of recs “day received” keeps changing to whatever day it is as opposed to May when they were in caspa. Anyone else notice this too?

Just came on here to see if this had happened to anyone else. Just emailed them to confirm that the email was sent as a mistake, so we'll see what they say. My LOR received dates keep changing too, very odd, guessing it's just an issue with their portal's code that updates it to whatever day you're currently viewing your portal on. Glad it's not just me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
