CASPA Help pls!!

Okay so I sent all my preliminary applications in mid-May, and they were all verified by CASPA soon after. The last school I was applying to opened on July 1st, so I figured I would add a new experience with some updates from the past few weeks. I didn't realize it would be saved and locked. So I went to edit it today and realized it was locked while I was still editing it - I literally saved it while I was mid-sentence. Is there any way to fix this??? I haven't submitted to this program yet. Will my other programs see this in my application, or will they only receive my original verified one?

I'm freaking out and so upset that this dumb mistake might affect my application. I can't even call CASPA because it's a holiday weekend. Please help!!!

Burnt out from supplementals

Anyone super burnt out from writing all the supplemental apps?? Every time I submit a CASPA app I get a surprise email with a bunch of supplemental questions….even tho none of these schools put that they have supplemental apps on their website 😭😭 I feel like I’ve been writing constantly without a break

Next steps after verification?

Hello! I submitted all of my apps last week, and they have all been verified. Out of 15, I have only received 5 emails from schools letting me know that they have received my application.

So my question is whether the other 10 schools are currently reviewing my application, since I haven’t received any confirmation yet. Should I plan to follow up with them in a few weeks if I still don’t hear anything? Thank you!

Hello! A large chunk of my PCE was spent volunteering as an EMT (~500 hours). In the experiences section, I put all of this under PCE. One of my schools asks this question about community service hours. Aside from the EMT hours, I have about 200 hours of other volunteer hours. Should I put the 200 hours or the total PCE + other volunteer (~700 hours)? I don't want to double dip, but I also want to present the best application I can. What should I do?

Edit: Just to clarify, I am NOT putting another experience in the CASPA experiences section with my EMT hours as "volunteer". I am simply asking if I should include those hours to answer this question, as it is very open-ended and there is no guidance about whether my volunteer PCE hours should be put here. Thank you all for the suggestions 😄 ....the consensus is leaning towards no.

Anyone else not know how to feel on the eve of CASPA opening? Maybe I'm overthinking a tad, but it feels like all of my years of hard work have culminated to this moment (tomorrow). Feeling so stressed and like it's the hunger games lol may the odds be ever in your favor. But seriously good luck everyone! We are all going to do great!
