Remyelination Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 This year, UofA is asking for your two references in the primary application. I would like to work on the personal activities section while I wait for my second reference to get back to me. For those you have already submitted the primary: 1) are you allowed to change your references in the secondary application? 2) Are references contact immediately after you submit the primary? Thank you! AB27 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlteplaseStat Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Are we able to adjust our reference request after if we change our minds? Also, do both references have to submit their response before we can work on our app?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcell Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Once you submit the primary application, you can't edit the references again but you do get to work on the next part of the application before your references respond, I don't know when they are contacted however, hope this helps Remyelination 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little frustrating that they decided to make this change this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik- Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 They're contacted as soon as you input their info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlteplaseStat Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Hey! Just wanted to provide a little update. I started my application a couple weeks ago and had not yet entered any references. Today I just happened to check my launchpad and I was able to add EC information without having added my references yet Just wanted to pass this along in case some of you are hoping to get your references in later. It does appear as though references are contacted immediately after entry, so if you want to hold off to give yourself time to evaluate who you want as a reference I believe you can!

theevilsloth Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 @AlteplaseStat Thanks you for the update, I'm in the situation you described and it's nice to be able to start the EC section without locking in the 2 references.

Thanks for the update. Off the launchpad, I am working on the secondary application. I entered one activity and clicked submit, instead of save for later, and now I am unable to add a second activity. Any thoughts on fixing this?
