Hey guys.

I submitted my amcas app on the 11th of july, and my transcripts were verified a few days later.

I've been waiting ever since than for my application status to change (still currently says "ready for review") for teh last couple weeks. It seems like a lot of people on SDN have been verified already, and this is making me really anxious. I've already submitted one secondary from GWU (they didn't require validation of primary), but im still waiting on the all clear from amcas before i can receive other secondaries.

Has anyone else experienced such long waiting periods?

Thanks.

sorry buddy, cant help you there. hope your app gets verified soon =)
 
Well make if you gave them a hard time with filling out the transcript information, then that will cause a delay regardless of when you sent it in.

IF everything is perfect. 2-3 business weeks is the average at this point in the game. I'd recommend calling them towards the end of this period.

A few people were verified in 2 days recently. This is bad news for you. Finish what secondaries you can, do some phone tagging, and then work on the secondaries from the prompts posted.
 
That is some badddd news, I just submitted my app over the weekend..

I made one grade error and Now im thinking my app wont be verified for 6-8 weeks..


Im thinking you just need to make some phone calls/ send emails and things will start rolling again..

2-3 weeks aint bad.. I hope they process "ours" fast!
 
A friend of mine submitted July 5th and just got verified this past Friday, August 3rd...there were no X marks on his application, meaning they did not need to make any corrections and all of his transcripts were in well before he submitted. The only thing I can think of that delayed him is that he went to a quarter system school so the credits had to be converted to semester hours...could that be the problem in your case?
 
From the AMCAS website:
"AMCAS verification processing can take up to 4-6 weeks from the time that your application and all required official transcripts are received, and can take significantly longer during peak processing times. "

I've been "ready for review" for several weeks. So they haven't even looked at my application yet, and any mistakes I made....
 
I wonder if the person who started verifying my application went on a vacation or something...
 
I submitted my app on 6/27, still under review, may be i should get more sympathy? ^_^
 
"AMCAS is currently marking transcripts that arrived on August 3rd, 2007.
Last Updated August 6, 2007 at 9:03AM"

Anybody know what AMCAS means by this message?
 
i submitted mine on july 10 and they JUST verified my application today. i sent them an email on friday. perhaps you can try contacting them to see what's the hold up. however, in response to my email they said it could take up to 6 weeks.
