 * Has anyone had problems uploading the syllabus and writing sample?


 * I have not received any such request, and my status still reads as Status (Complete).
 * I think the question is whether people are interpreting the "incomplete" request for syllabus and writing sample as a request for more materials. I see this on my application, but I'm not able to upload anything. Has anybody seen this notification and been able to upload anything?
 * There was an email sent via Interfolio requesting additional materials; maybe only those who got the email can upload them. x3 (I got an email and I can upload documents)
