Is it normal to submit and not get this kind of email?
 
My app was submitted on 5/25 and transmitted to schools on 6/2 and I have not received any verification that my app was received. 🙁
 
It seems like the received email is delayed by a month after your app is transmitted. My app was transmitted on 5/6, Confirmation email received on 5/31

That's awesome. Are you IN or OOS? and do you mind sharing your stats?
 
FYI, mine wasn't delayed a month. I submitted early June, it finally got transmitted beginning of this week, and I just got a confirmation email today.
 
Just got my confirmation email as well today. Transmitted 5/25, app complete 6/15.
 
@SmilingTooth Thankfully. Now only if Texas A&M didn't have a 4-6 week delay from transmission time... I regret not sending mine in May.
 
That sucks! At least we are at the top in the pile of over 5k apps they will receive throughout this cycle.
Wait, what do you mean by 4-6 weeks from what reference point? Like from when your app is transmitted, it takes them 4-6 weeks to send you a confirmation?

It was supposed to take that long. The secondary page said it'd take 4-6 weeks to process the primary and have it show up as true. BUT, it only took mine a week thankfully. They are on top of it.

Im sorry but I am confused about this secondary page. I got an email from this school saying that my application has been received. Where is this secondary page where I can see if my app is complete?

San Antonio doesn't have a secondary app.

They were referring to the secondary page for Texas a&m lol but I initially thought they were talking about San Antonio as well

finally got my email confirming they've received my application and are reviewing it on 07/5
 
I opened the alert thinking it was IIs....

LOL same. I guess it's that time where we start getting jumpy over every little thing. Last year's first II's were sent on 7/20, so maybe a few more weeks of waiting for us.

edit: oh, more likely you got the email that day. nevermind haha

Okay I got that when I actually tuned in my secondary. Thank you! And I guess congrats on finally freaking get that email.
 
Anyone hear from them yet? If they ask me to come down today, I would.
 
does this school drug test? for that matter, do most of the texas medical school drug test?
They usually collect and run urine, blood, and hair sample for drug testing; but if they are suspicious they might get you to do a fecal occult blood, DNA, sweat test, and a tongue swab. Best of all, you pay for everything and get a cookie if you pass 'em all.
