AMCAS Verification

aww hell.

I don't like where this is going.

Ok. So my post bac sat on my transcript request for too long, and then AMCAS sat on it too.

Naturally, I figured it was lost. Requested again.

8/7 I get an e-mail saying they got my transcript on 8/1.

It's the same transcript they got on 7/24 (acknowledged 7/28)

Now...

Does this mean I got bumped to the ass-back of the line? If so, was I bumped back on 08/01 or 08/07 if anyone actually knows?

I don't think it bumps you. I had a notification last week that amcas got a transcript again that they had first gotten in June. I was afraid that would bump me back to the end of the line, but I'm under review right now.

Ok so if you don't have all your materials sent in, they bump you to the end.
If you have more than all your materials sent in, they bump you to the end? WTF

That's a relief.

Thanks.

Alright, just got off the phone with the people in DC. Apparently my application will be on hold until they get the transcript even when I submit it. It won't go into que for verification, which is what she said. Hopefully it won't take long for them to process the transcript, it should be getting there tomorrow...

One of my transcripts took 3 weeks to get there. FROM BALTIMORE. I mean seriously WTF.

Was it 3 weeks from the day you requested your school to send to the day you got an e-mail? If that was the case, it was about 2 weeks for me. The actual day it was sent from my school and day the e-mail said it was received was probably a week, tops.

I guess that means you can count me in, too (07.28 ready for review).

 

[GujuMD]

Count me in too!
I submitted on 7-27 and I am ready for review.

i submitted my app on 8/6 and was verified today. i did request my transcripts between late june, early july. so that may have helped speed the process.

i was surprised b/c when i called on last friday they told me 4-6 weeks.

Now that just makes me mad.
Even w/all the crap they pulled on me they claim to have had everything by 8/4 and still nothin'.
They had my transcripts at the end of MAY and I submitted my app. on 7/8. 😡

Any truth to this?

woah dude thats crazy! How did you get verified so fast? I submitted 8-7 and Im not expecting to be verified for at least a few weeks.

 

[GujuMD]

I sumbitted my AMCAS on 7-27 and I got verified today.

 

[deleted106503]

Alright, I was notified by e-mail that my second transcript arrived today. Pretty fast considering it was mailed out on Friday. I called them up just now to make sure the name on it was the correct one (so crap doesn't happen like a wrong transcript), but they said the scans haven't been uploaded and should be tomorrow. I'll write my PS tonight, call them up tomorrow and check, then get in line for verification.

I also asked if I could add schools later on while I wait for verification and she said it was okay. For some reason I thought I could only add schools before and after the waiting part. Just letting anyone else know who wasn't sure.

 

[deleted106503]

So I called them up Wednesday when they got my transcript, not scanned (I figured they'd tell me they have my transcript when they actually HAD it). So called against yesterday, still not scanned. I called just now, STILL not scanned. Everytime I called they said "tomorrow." Guess what, they said the same, now it will be Monday.

Good news, though, I submitted my application. The lady said 6 weeks is what they tell everyone, but currently it's more like 4 for verification.

hey everyone,

i know how to check my status with my application (details button, right?), but i am wondering what the levels of status are. submitted, under review, verified... ?

can you check how they are calculating your GPA while they are reviewing your application? or does your GPA appear once they say you are verified and send them to the schools?

i submitted a week ago and am patiently waiting 0🙂
thanks!

You'll probably just go from Ready to Review to Verified. I'm sure mine took a long time to do and I checked my status 5 times the day it finally went though... They'll send you an e-mail when you're verified so it is kind of pointless.

Your verified grades and GPA will show up only after you're totally verified. Until then, everything will look just as you left it.

****ing amazing. Verified TODAY. 🙂 Submitted 8/25, verified 9/21. It was going to be 4 weeks to the day tomorrow. I hope the rest of you have been verified!

Damn. I submitted mine 7 days before yours. Mine is just sitting at under review. Really lame, amcas, maximum lameness.

 

[anthroguy]

How long after you have been verified do you receive secondairies? Any chance you will get secondaries before verification?

They should start trickling into your email. I received 7 in the three days following verification.

I received 4 (UMDNJ-NJMS, Columbia, NYMC, Yale) right after submitting the AMCAS (ie, before verification). Go to the pre-Allopathic Goodness (links) sticky and look at the secondary questions so you can turn them around quickly (now I sound like my advisor).

 

[an1s]

Any recently verified folks out there to give those of us still waiting an idea of where they are at in terms of AMCAS completion dates?

 

[chester1000]

when i called last week (thurs or fri) they said people who were getting verified now were from the first week of sept. though they didn't know how many people submitted during that week or when they would make it to the second week. hurry up amcas!
