  • What is a PENDING application?

    An application is PENDING if the applicant has selected your program in the NMS Match System but has not yet submitted their application information to your program.

    You have access to the contact information for PENDING applications so you can reach out to the applicant to introduce yourself and provide more information about your program, if desired.

  • Why can't I see applicant documents or scores for a PENDING application?

    You cannot see the details of a PENDING application because the applicant has not yet chosen to submit their application to your program. Applicants who add your program as a PENDING application may remove your program at a later date.

    The purpose of showing you the PENDING application is to give you visibility into applications that are in progress. You have access to the contact information for PENDING applications so you can reach out to the applicant to introduce yourself and provide more information about your program, if desired.

  • Can applications be submitted before reference letters are received?

    Yes, applicants do not need to wait for their reference letters to be received before submitting their applications. When a reference writer uploads their letter, the submitted application will be updated automatically and then you will be notified that the application has a new reference letter included.

  • Can applicants change or update an application after submission?

    Applicants cannot change the core application components after submission. However, they are able to attach a supplemental material document to a submitted application, or replace an existing supplemental material document with a new one.

    If you need an applicant to provide additional information after submission, instruct them to provide the necessary information as a Supplemental Material document.
