Me! No verification email either aside from the moving one. Not too worried as I still have secondaries to write 🙄

I haven't even gotten the moving email! Haha I agree on the other secondaries.
Wait really?!?! Check your spam box?

Nope, nothing.
Okay I can't open up the secondary on ANY browser after turning off Firewall, trying different internet connections (like in a local coffee shop). Anyone know how to troubleshoot this?
How much is the secondary fee?

$125, according to MSAR, though I haven't gotten the secondary yet, so can't confirm that hefty price O_O
The price you got to pay to enter the noble profession of medicine in America.

Haha, no actually I have an AMCAS fee waiver, so I meant the price I would have had to pay. But of course there are plenty of other expenditures to worry about.
Does anyone who has received the secondary know if it gives more information about LOR requirements? Website is vague about the max number you can send. Anyone know?
Hey, did you ever get an answer on this? I'm trying to select which letters to send them through AMCAS now. MSAR says minimum 2, max of 6. And their website just says "two".
Did u get the secondary ? If so can you share the prompts please .
Nope. Still not sure. I was thinking I might just send all 4-5 I'll have and hope that they don't mind if there's extra. Unless anyobody else knows...? 🙂
I haven't gotten anything either aside from the moving one. Like many schools, they probably do this in batches.

Fine by me. I still have more than enough secondaries to complete 😱
For all those who are wondering where your secondary application is, go back and read messages 8, 27, 34, and 38. Just take a breath and relax...
You're right. Deep slow breaths is what I need right now. Unfortunately, I am experiencing application cycle-induced panic disorder, so you'll have to excuse my neuroticism.
Why are you panicking?! You are KILLING the application cycle with 5 II's already! Pretty sure we are applying to almost all the same schools and it's been very exciting to see someone with so much success so early (though I will admit you're making ME panic with my zero II's haha). Best of luck with the rest of the apps and I have no doubt Wake will be sending you a secondary in no time!
You're right. I am being kinda ridiculous right now. I hate to know what I'll be like on 10/15 when people start receiving acceptances (if I can even make it till then). I just need to find ways to keep my mind off this stuff since the app cycle is nothing but a series of waiting games. Stalking school-specific threads definitely doesn't help the situation.
Got the secondary invite just now! After receiving that generic "check your status" email near the end of last week
Just got the secondary
Just got the secondary. Anyone having trouble getting it to load? It won't open for me when I click on the link. I've tried explorer, chrome and firefox
stop worrying. they're sent out in batches and its only been a few days of secondary invites.
Hopefully I will be in the next batch.
We hope so too buddy

I got that status two days ago and the secondary the next. I'm sure yours will come sooner than you think!

I got an email today that they got my AMCAS app and "this is NOT" the secondary application. I was verified 6/14 and already received the email about their moving office. Weird...
LOL ...and your II went from 5 to 6 if I remember correctly....you really need to chill out, my friend haha.
Did you get an email saying that an haha yeah your 5 IIs went to 6 IIs! Congrats. You are really killing it.
No, I didn't get an email. I just did my usual obsessive checking of app status on the portal.
For the people who got the email saying your AMCAS app had been downloaded, did you get this email beforehand?

Where did you get your portal info??
They send an automated email with a link to check your app status. They do emphasize, however, that it is NOT an indication of a secondary invite.
What. I have not gotten that email even. The ONLY email I have gotten:

Okay so maybe I will wait til Friday morning to call them. Thanks for the info!

I am in the same boat, got the mail about moving a while back and nothing since.
But I don't think it's cause for concern as their Adcom said earlier in the thread , think they just started sending last week and they are doing it in batches . We just need to hang in and wait.

I got the email this morning saying that they had received my application from AMCAS and then this evening got the secondary invite, so I wouldn't worry if you haven't gotten that email about receiving your application from AMCAS! They seem to be turning over the applications they download pretty quick
We are settled into the new building and all the bugs from the download from AMCAS have been worked out. The download from AMCAS is a little different each year and it takes time to test it in our system.
Secondary Received! Verified 6/14
