From Cornell or Case Western? Those are the only two schools I'm applying to that have been completely silent during this process thus far...

Hey my premed advisor got this from Cornell:

"As some of you might know, in the past medical schools had the
> option of receiving labels from AMCAS to mail their secondary
> applications. Those mailing labels had the addresses of applicants
> who had just submitted an AMCAS application listing that particular
> medical school, and the AMCAS application had not been either
> completed or verified. Other schools (like Cornell) opted to wait
> until an AMCAS application was verified and submitted electronically
> before sending their secondary. And, there were schools which only
> sent secondaries to applicants after a first screening.

> This year, AMCAS has given us the same options in a different format.
> And, as is to be expected, each medical school has decided what
