I submitted on 6/10 and was verified last week but still have not received a secondary. I think Boston is just taking its time.

I was verified 6/10 and have not received the secondary yet. Hopefully it will come tomorrow.Has anyone who was verified early by AMCAS NOT received the secondary invite yet? It does BUSM screen?
How do you receive secondaries? Is it by email? I'm not verified but several of the schools I've applied to have people saying they aren't verified but are receiving secondaries, so I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything.
If I am not mistaken, BU does an initial screen.
Quick question, do you have to have all of your letters uploaded before BU sends you their secondary?
i have extremely similar stats and i got one.Can anyone comment on if BU screens and how stringent the screen is. I'm applying with a 4.0/37 so I should make it through, but I'm International so you never know...
Same thing happened to me. However, I've been marked complete at UVA and GW, so maybe only Boston U cares about letterhead/signature? Not sure what's happening.Disaster. My application is on hold because of a missing signature.

Submitted 6/10 and verified 6/20 and still no secondary. 34 MCAT and 3.8+ GPA. Could I have possibly been screened out. I know Boston has a lot of applicants so do they do some screening before sending out secondaries?
Submitted 6/10 and verified 6/20 and still no secondary. Have the average MCAT according to MSAR and an above average GPA. One of my LOR writer is a new faculty. Maybe this person didn't upload the letter head? How do you guys know about the letter head?
I have literally the same scores and was verified later. Just got a secondary 15 minutes ago.
Anyone not do either of the essays? I have a pretty intense autobiography along with my committee letter so I really don't think I have anything else to say.
I've been debating this as well. But, I really think that my personal statement and my letters say it all, and if I try to write another essay it'll just end up being repetitive and might annoy them. Pretty sure I'm just going to leave them blank. Have you decided what you're going to do?

Is anyone else having difficulty uploading a picture? It keeps saying "The image was not saved because it does not meet the size requirements." I can't figure out how to make it work.
I opted for brevity on this one. My college also didn't have a premed committee, but any explanation I tried to write was just a longer way of saying "my college doesn't have a premed committee." I figured the space was mostly intended for nontrads with letters from employers/military/etc instead of professors.I just started my secondary application and under the letter of recommendation section it says:
"No Health Professions Advisory Committee letter is available to me for the following reason(s): Use the additional space provided to elaborate on your reason beyond what is provided in the drop-down menu. 2000 character limit, approximately 400 words"
My school does not have a health care professions committee and under the drop menu I indicated this. Do I still have to provide further explanation in the text box?
Resize the image to the dimensions they call for (2x2 I think) and it should work.
I also had trouble and I resized it to 400x400 pixels (2"x2"). It uploaded, but the preview looks super compressed and not that easy to look at. Anyone else have this issue? Will they see it the same way I do? I assume so, but can't figure out how to make it show up non-compressed.
omg this grid thing is ridic....i hate being in a quarter system.
Does anyone have any advice on this?
