Verified end of July and still haven't received a secondary yet. Is there an approximate length of time they take to screen applicants?

They use a priority system based on certain criteria (mostly stats). For some people that means a couple days, for others it means a couple months.

I can't imagine that being entirely accurate. My stats are far from incredible and I recieved a secondary without an mcat on file..

 

[Spain99]

Have they started sending out interviews yet? If not, when do they start? Thank you.

According to the interview invite thread, they haven't started yet. Not sure when they will though.

One of my close friends attends here -- he applied in July and didn't receive a secondary until November. By December he was accepted.

Have faith!

[crazyboi1993]

I have submitted a secondary a month ago to all three campuses, and have decent stats, 26 MCAT (8BS, 8V, 10PS), 3.72sgpa, and 3.82cgpa, but have heard nothing at all. I did not even get a complete email, but on the portal it shows everything being received! Is this a silent rejection??

 

[Azete]

Just a heads up, their Director of Admissions is out of the office until Tuesday. I wouldn't expect much from here over the next few days.

 

[theysayimadreamer]

NM is a beautiful state!! Congrats and good luck with everything!

 

[Premedofthesouth]

Did everyone who got a II get an email letting them know their file was complete after submitting their secondary? I submitted mine about a month ago and no email saying it's complete or missing something at all

I got a complete email and entire 2.5 months after sending my application and all documents were sent on time etc. It takes time but you will get one.

 

[jennifer1585]

Is there any way to check your application status online after submission of secondary? Any portal?

 

[aw_med]

Just a heads up for everyone, I checked the portal this morning to see what the status of my application was, and found out I have been invited for an interview! Have not received a call yet, but I could go ahead and schedule it on the portal! I'm so excited!!!
(jennifer1585 - the portal is linked at the bottom of the email they sent when you were invited to complete the secondary app)
