You don't have to feel pressure to drop anything by tomorrow's deadline. It's an AAMC guideline, but there is no enforcement until 5/2, when you are expected to drop to one A and schools can see and enforce at that time.
Were you CORE or SELECT?
CORE
Ah that's great! I wish you a lot of luck wherever you decide to go!!
Accepted today off the waitlist for SELECT program after interviewing Jan 7th! OOS, 508 MCAT, non trad lots of research
wow, pretty quick turnaround compared to their 6-8 week timeline! congrats!! was it through the mail?
Congratulations! What time did you receive the call?
Congrats!! Core or select?
Nope, they called me at like 10 AM. Ha ha
Congrats!! When did you interview and are you in state?
That’s what they did with me too.
Congrats! Is it by phone call or email? and what time roughly did you get it?
The biggest congratulations to you! Would you be willing to share your interview date and some of your stats??
Phone call!! Around 1:30 pm!
In state!! And interviewed Oct 12th
I keep getting an error message when I try to access it. Contacted IT support this morning and after not being able to troubleshoot, the guy said he would transfer for problem to the OASIS people and said they'd be working on it and would send me updates, nothing so far though
How long ago were you accepted. This happened to me too and when I called IT they said it could take up to 10 days for OASIS to get your information
No. Dropping to 3 As by today is a suggestion, with no ability to enforce because they cannot run reports identifying your selection until 5/2. So, you have until 5/2 to reduce to one A and designated that school as PTE, unless it also requires CTE on that date.
Accepted 10/15 but just made my usf ID and stuff Wednesday when they sent us an email with instructions on how to register an account
Primary application? As in the beginning of the application cycle? I think it opens up 5/3 this year.
While it opens in the beginning of May, it cannot be transmitted until the end of the month. Maybe that's what they are referring to.
It really varies. A bunch of very uptight people apply in the first hour of the first day, thinking it will give them an advantage. It doesn't. Just look at any school specific thread, and observe how people are surprised when people who submitted after they did receive IIs first.
Of course. The deadline is 6/30/23 for federal money! (Literally, the end of the academic year)

Earlier is always better than later, but you really have all summer to get everything in before you bump up against possibly being at a disadvantage after Labor Day. Keep in mind, though, that's a soft deadline for getting everything in, primary, secondary, LORs, everything.
The first step is to get your primary verified, and that could take up to 6 weeks after you submit, which is why people obsess on submitting early. AMCAS builds in a little speed bump for you, by holding everything until at least 6/24 (i.e., the application opens on 5/3, but they do not accept submissions until 5/31, and will not transmit to schools until 6/24 at the earliest, assuming you are verified by then).
Bottom line -- even though you can start working on the primary on 5/3, you cannot submit until 5/31. Will that work for you? If not, you can probably wait an extra week or two and still be verified by 6/24, but it's not an exact science, as the queue will build from around a day at 9:30 a.m., or whenever they open the portal on 5/31, and will geometrically increase from there. Within a week or two the queue will be long enough that you will no longer be able to be verified by 6/24. Not the end of the world, for the reason I stated above, but still, if you desperately need to be in the first batch, you want to be in by the end of the first week of June, and even that won't be a guarantee!
After AMCAS gets slammed the first few days, things steady, and people apply throughout the summer. As I said before, you want to be complete everywhere by Labor Day. Submitting by the end of June should allow you to do that. Earlier is better than later, but your earliest possible submission is 5/31, not 5/3. Hope this wasn't too long, and helped!
My pleasure!!Thank you so much!!! I didn’t know that the earliest possible submission is 5/31, that works out perfectly then
You can actually project hours on your app! as long as you started the activity before you submit, you can project the hours and things you'll be doing
How do you know? My informed delivery says I have mail and packages coming soon but it doesn't actually show anything for today
I see its image through my USPS informed delivery. The letter is addressed from USF Health, Office of MD Admissions. I'm in state though, so that may be why I'm getting mine a bit sooner? I interviewed 3/15, if that helps provide some clarity!
I interviewed 2/14 and I live in tampa so idk. I contacted USPS and it says if it doesn't show any images it means I don't have any verified mail coming. I hate this wait
Hello,
