Anyone have any updates on AMCAS verification time? Is there anyone who recently submitted their AMCAS who knows how long the wait is right know for applications recently submitted? Thx!
No wait. Application deadlines are approaching at a lot of schools in October. The crush is over. There is no guarantee you will be verified immediately if there are issues with your transcripts, but verification will begin within a day of all of your transcripts being received.Anyone have any updates on AMCAS verification time?

Yes, don't go by that. You can go right to the AMCAS website and see that they are currently processing applications marked "Ready for Review" yesterday. The chart you are referring to is dependent on what people report. It is inherently inaccurate since it only captures a tiny fraction of submissions.
Totally depends on the school, and on you. At most schools, it will be automatic, and fast. Others were taking their time earlier in the cycle. At this point I'd imagine it would be pretty fast, because the crush is over, just like with verifications. And still others screen. That could take time, or even never come at all.Oh I see the website—your right! Amazing thx!
One more question: Once I’m verified, do you know how long it typically takes for most schools to send their secondaries when they are added to my application? Is it almost immediate, takes a few days, or will it take 1-2 weeks? Thx again!

You need to get a move on, though, because the earliest deadlines to submit the primary are coming up on 10/1 at some schools!
It is what it is. For MD you're definitely late, but, like with everything else, it still depends on you.Amazing thx! I’ll be complete hopefully during the first week of October then! I know @gonnif seems to say that being complete by the end of September is okay. So I assume if I’m complete by the first week of October then I should hopefully be “fine” at most schools?
For MD you are pretty late. You may be alright if you have great stats and apply to a lot of schools. Some schools have sent out a decent chunk of their II's by now so you are going to have to compete for fewer seats at these schools. From what I've heard IIs in August and September are considered "early" October to the end of November is normal and then IIs slow down into the spring.Amazing thx!
