no its takes time after u submit the 2ndary for them to be recieved, it is not instantaneous by any means. Also even when they do get them, the status site usualyl lags behind a week or so. Remember you are not the only applicant 🙂. Everything takes weeks often. Also since interviews arent even out till sept, i wouldnt worry a whole bunch. Way ahead of the game at this point.

Basically your letter writers or school uploads your letters onto a system, AMCAS gets a notification that it's in the system and they go download it. Then AMCAS will load it onto their system and each school you designate gets a notification that they're available, then each school has to go and download your letters to add to your file. So it's not all automatic, somebody on each end has to go thru all the notifications and download letters for each applicant and add it to their file, so it can take a while. But it wouldn't hurt to send an email or call if it's been a few days.
yep
Any suggestions for what to do with the 'any comments' box? I can elaborate on my bad gpa some more .... or should i comment on the school? bah.
also, if you apply for a joint degree program and you dont get it, will they still consider you for md only? will your chances be hurt if you apply md/ma and dont get in but you still want to enroll as md?

Explain the GPA, and yes they will still consider you, and no it won't affect your chances (only the MD/PhD is a separate pool).
In that case, does anyone know what the essay topic is for the MD/MA program? I'm still not sure on it and just want to know what the essay is for it.
I wasn't aware of any deadline.
okay thanks
+1.
I know you guys touched on this a bit already, but for the extra comments section, would it be a bad thing to write something about "why tufts?"? I have been researching the website and found a couple of things that really stood out to me...if can't hurt to show them that I know a bit about the school right?
Definitely - don't go crazy with it, but make your points, clear and concise.
Lol I always love it when I am browsing SDN and notice that one of the schools I applied to just got posted on. Sure enough when I check my email there is a message for me. 🙂
me either.
Is the audit process 2 weeks as expected?
are you applying, or are you a premed adviser or something similar? just curious.
I already established this on another thread. I'm Chancelloress of AAMC.
truth. I fact checked it 😉. Why else do you think camaras always gives the best advice?

👍Definitely! Especially how I advised you to just stop doing secondaries 😀
what does the audit mean?
checking to make sure you fullfill the requirements and have a complete file or checking your work/activities?

If I'm not mistaken, I think it is the process of simply ensuring that they have received all your materials, and uploading your LORs. Something along those lines.
for the LOR, do u only check "individual letters" if u are sending in each letter separately? i go to Wash U and they like collect all my letters and send them to amcas, so in amcas i have all my letters under like 1 packet of letters. does this mean i check the "packet of letters" one?
D
DRIN
If your school is sending a packet of letters to AMCAS for distribution and a school asks you specifically how your letters will arrive, then why wouldn't you check the option for "packet of letters" ??
This is my first time to apply out of state. I am a Texas Resident and all the Texas schools tend to interview before everyone else. When does Tufts start interviewing?
i have a friend who interviewed at tufts in early september last year. check mdapps, i bet lots of people have interview dates listed, maybe?
Last I heard, they are targeting end of August, but I bet things will roll into September.
i left it blank. i feel like unless you are burning to tell them about one of those things, leave it blank and just go with the diversity one.
(also, IMO, "explaining" MCAT scores is never really a good idea...)

nm..
Yep, when I posted it I looked up and saw "nm", so I deleted mine.was that an edited response to my edited post?
sry if this is repetitive but i was wondering is the "optional comments" essay really optional?
I have covered everything i want in the primary and don't want to get them pissed off by sounding repetitive

It's optional.
