I'm not sure what Vampsoul meant either.
Once you've opened a file, it will be reviewed to determine if you are a competitive candidate.
This is determined basically on two pieces of information: Your test scores (PSAT/SAT/ACT) and your class rank.
If you are found
not competitive , you will be sent a letter telling you that your file is closed until your overall or academic record improves.
If your file is
incomplete (usually means missing test scores and class rank), you will be sent a letter saying that WP needs the missing info and your file will be inactive until they receive the missing info.
If you are found
competitive, then you will be receiving an email that will give you your portal login ID number which will open up the on-line application called the Second Step Kit (SSK).
I heard that the SSK wouldn't be opened until July 1 but could be that they are already starting. Don't sweat if you've heard some have received the SSK and you haven't. If could be that your file hasn't been reviewed yet or is still being reviewed. Patience grasshopper.
While you are waiting, what you can do NOW is:
1) work on getting your teachers lined up for the SOE's.
2) Practice CFA
3) Keep taking the SAT/ACT . WP superscores your test scores so keep taking them and make yourself as competitive as possible!
Once you are allowed to access the SSK then:
1) Complete as soon as you can. Complete as soon as you can. Complete as soon as you can. Complete as soon as you can. (Hope I wasn't unclear!)
2) Once you get notification on scheduling your medical exam , schedule it ASAP!
Ok - well that is much more info than any of you asked for.
Got carried away!
Good luck!!!
