Just submitted my secondary. FYI after you submit the app, a link appears on the microsite called LOR Acknowledgement that you have to submit.

it states:
Two letters of recommendation not written by a relative (by blood or through marriage) are required.

• One evaluation must be from an osteopathic physician (DO). A letter from an allopathic physician (MD) in lieu of a recommendation from an osteopathic physician is not accepted; however, a letter(s) of recommendation from an allopathic physician(s) in addition to a letter of recommendation from an osteopathic physician is acceptable.

• The second required letter must be from a pre-medical or pre-health professions advisory committee, or instead, letters from two science faculty members familiar with the academic work of the applicant.

ARCOM welcomes additional letters recommendation from those who are acquainted with the student’s academic or professional ability. Letters of recommendation will be accepted via the AACOMAS application process, Virtual Evals, Interfolio, by email to [email protected], and/or by mail to:

I got an email in the morning to send the technical standard form to them. I honestly didn't read about it previously. Just barely sent it.
 
Admissions office told me they expect more secondaries to go out “soon”

Congrats everyone on the IIs today!

Do we think they’re through screening for secondaries? Was surprised to see interview invites already.

When did you submit your primary?
 
Anyone receive the "secondary in 24hr" email but not receive the secondary after 24hrs? I followed the instructions on the ACHE website but I don't see a "secondary application" link on the left like the email said?

A bit confused about the dates you posted.

When did ARCOM receive your primary application from AACOMAS?
When did you get your secondary?
