Hello all,
My primary was verified about 2 weeks ago and "mailed" on the 18th. No word or secondary invites yet. Anyone else heard anything?

I'm the same as you. My application was mailed on 6/18, but I haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully this week??? Good luck!

Same exact situation. Will I get them without having submitted my MCAT? I've already gotten one for AMCAS, though they haven't even verified my main college grades yet.

Secondaries usually start coming in at earliest in July..even if you submitted the primary earlier on. No worries, soon they will pour in

I've wondered the same thing as my primary was mailed the 18th and I won't get my mcat until Wednesday. From my understanding, schools hold your application until they get your scores, but it's still good that they already have them.

same here.... mailed the 18th... im guessing pretty soon

It sounds like no secondaries have been sent out to applicants. (not including ones already available online)

I'll bet people don't receive secondaries until mid-late July. It seems as though the earliest mailing date of primaries was June 18.

For all who would like to get a head start on the secondaries, here is a thread posted on secondary essay prompts:

Yup...same boat as everyone else...I guess we've got some wait time coming up now! At least I've got some MD secondaries to work on (most of the ones I applied to don't screen primaries).

I called a couple schools today and asked about getting LOR's ready to submit and they said please don't send them yet, we are still working with the Fall incoming class. So be patient...do some research now and start getting essays ready. That's what I'm trying to do at least...

Most schools are still busy with waitlist from the 2007 entering class and many will not be looking at the primaries until sometime in July. I would not expect any secondaries until mid-July at the earliest.

The first secondaries from last year's cycle were sent out in the middle of July. Just sit tight and prepare some responses based on previous years' prompts.

I've heard back from UNECOM, but my applications on hold until they get my MCAT scores.
