Yes, I am behind schedule, but I took the August MCAT and I have some freedom. I will be submitting my application this week, and I am estimating a month to process. That would put me at September 20. I will then have a month untill my MCAT scores come out. I am going to have everyhting in when my MCAT scores come out, but I am wondering how long it takes to get the secondary applications once you submit your AMCAS info.

There is a thread on this, but most of the people submitted early june, and adcoms didn't start downloading info until July. So, my question is, if I were sumbited tomorrow, how long would it take to get secondaries?

I submitted 8/2 with two schools listed, added two more later, verified 8/17 and added five more schools that day. I got two secondaries right away (Wash U, Kentucky) before I was verified. I have yet to receive any others. This is partly because some of them screen (Vandy, Pitt, Wake), but the others I guess are just being slow sending out the automatic secondary (Louisville, Saint Louis, Pritzker, Emory).
