How long you been reading SDN for today? Ahem...long enough to enter your transcripts???
Nah, just long enough to complain about doing it.
How long you been reading SDN for today? Ahem...long enough to enter your transcripts???
Has anyone's AACOMAS actually changed to verified?? Or have you just received emails from the schools?
i called today to ask what if anything they had changed on my application so that I could calculate my gpa on my own. FINALLY i got through to somebody who knew what they were doing. He sent me my application via email with all my information on it. GPA was broken down into years and designation( bio, chem...etc.) They also have something referred to as quality points. I have no clue what this is. So... just keep on calling.. somebody is bound to help
Also, I called a bunch of DO school and it seems like all of them had a matriculating class with an avg gpa of 3.5 and a 26-27 mcat.
Did they give you any indication about why it seems to be such an impossible feat to publish our GPA's online? This is ridiculous.
received email from admissions recruiter at LECOM... i'm assuming this is the same one everyone else has been getting as their unofficial "you are verified" email....right? talks about gettin an email with login info, will be receiving secondary in a few weeks, etc. etc.
if so, i am verified....woo whoo!!! Submitted June 11th so almost exactly 4 weeks.
does LECOM screen?
does LECOM screen?
I think you're fine. Not many secondaries have come out yet. I can vouch for LECOM, both ATSU's, and UMDNJ.
LECOM: The email says the secondary will be out in a few weeks. I don't think anyone has received it yet.
I don't know if they screen GPA or not, but they don't screen MCAT.
so does screening typically mean "you made the GPA/MCAT cut off?" How many schools actually review your primary app beyond gpa/mcat?? I know Western claims that they do....any other schools?
Yes, that's my understanding. All I can go by is the secondaries I've received. Since I don't have an MCAT score yet and still got secondaries from LECOM, VCOM, Pikeville, and MSU, I assume those schools don't screen, or if they do, they don't screen for MCAT. UNECOM emailed to say they were waiting on an MCAT score.
You received a secondary from VCOM with no MCAT score? I got an email from them saying they put me on hold until they received my MCAT score.. I have gotten LECOM and MSU, but no Pikeville either. Just curious.. Thanks!
So as part of my committee letter process I have to provide a copy of my 'processed' AACOMAS application. I submitted at the end of May and have received 4 secondaries (UNECOM, LECOM, ATSU-SOMA, ATSU-Kirksville), so I assume that I've been verified.
However, after emailing my committee a copy of the application they replied that it was NOT the 'processed' copy and that it may take AACOMAS another week or two to process the application. Is there a difference between verified and processed? Does anyone know if there will be updates through AACOMAS that show that an application has been processed?
Has anyone's AACOMAS actually changed to verified?? Or have you just received emails from the schools?
But some people are counting when they actually submitted their application and others are counting when the last report (MCAT or transcript) was received? What if we are retaking the MCAT and indicated a date; does that mean we can't be verified until after they get the second score, or will they still verify us with the first score? So much for trying to get everything in early.me too.. I submitted the same day as you.
But LECOM is sending you an e-mail invite to do their secondary?When you login you can choose which application to file. So, technically both.
so us people who just submitted are still ahead of the game i'm guessing? haha i kno someone who submitted his primary in March and still got into LECOM
You're verified? Please let me know how you got secondaries from other schools, or did you just go on their websites and download them youself?You're way ahead of the game. I know people that still haven't taken the MCAT for this cycle yet. I'm retaking mine but still. While they are waiting on their first score, I am already complete at one school and submitted secondaries to about 5 others.
AACOMAS is finally saying that they have received my transcript, how long has it been taking people for their status to change from "received" to "verified"?
hey guys, has anyone that was complete after 6/15 received secondaries yet? I submitted on 6/15, and still haven't received any.

wow, if thats true, it really blows.. i submitted on June 20th, i was hoping to get my secondaries in by august.. if i dont get them, i wont be able to submit until september.. since i wont be here for the month of august!.. ahhhhhhhhhhGive it 2 more weeks before you hit the 6 week mark and a week after that for the apps to reach the schools.

I had everything in 5/19 and my app still does not say it's verified. However I have received notices from 4 schools! I don't know what AACOMAS has for my GPA breakdown, but one school mentioned my GPA was too low and the science GPA they have is lower then my app from last year-with no differences in classes or grades. How does that happen? I have been & am still trying to get some answers.AACOMAS is finally saying that they have received my transcript, how long has it been taking people for their status to change from "received" to "verified"?
i wanna start writing them now, but i dont know what to write!.. i know... im just being stupid.. but like for the question "why osteopathic medicine" its like why not? i wanna be a doctor and being a DO will get me there.. its annoying... i really have to spend a lot of time on it... im just being lazySo you won't have email for a month?
Also, you can do a lot of them now, and just wait to submit until you receive the invites.

Did you get lost on the way to the SUBMIT button?
Just a bit lost, mostly from the MCAT last week, but it does feel good to finally have it in!
