angelfish said:One more question about the personal statement for AMCAS... I noticed it has to be less than 5300 characters... so should i divide it up into paragraphs or not? it takes more space if divided and i can't fit everything i wrote on there. >__<
supersleuthMD11 said:When should I attemt to call AMCAS **shudders**...I submitted 7-18, ready for review 7-19, and now 7-20's are being verified. Is this unusual?
FlipFlops33 said:I am wondering the same thing. I sumbitted 7-4 and my last transcript arrived 7-15. It has been 4 weeks and 3 days!
Don't even know if it is worth calling. Will I get the same "it takes about 4-6 weeks" story?
😕

supersleuthMD11 said:For those of us who are pre-July 20 and are still waiting:
I called AMCAS, and got quite annoyed by their hold music. That aside:
Their system has trouble maintaining "under review" status for more than a few hours. If your app is reviewed for more than that threshold time, your status will change back to "Ready for review." For me, for example, my status says "ready for review," but the nice lady at AMCAS told me that I am, actually, 90% verified (whatever that means), and that they reserve the right to spend up to 6 weeks verifying me 😱
So, I guess I'd advise y'all to call them. They may actually shed some light on why we're still waiting. Maybe the angry avatars are working?! lol
AAaaaaaaaaaand a question: If I've been under review for awhile, does that mean that I have alot of problems with my app, or that my reviewer is eating a doughnut? I quadruple checked my grades, and had other people do the same...so I'm quite confident that I have no errors. Any advice?
desidr said:quick question...do you get e-mail notification that you're "under review" or do you just have to happen to check amcas during those threshold few hours...

Requip said:how long did you wait on hold for?
desidr said:congrats man, add it to the wall! i submitted a day after you so i'm starting to get anxious!
stinastina said:I can't imagine it would hurt to politely request the status of your app. You don't want to be one of those persons who finds out a month later they lost your transcripts and you have to re-submit. Ooops, it is a month later....
desidr said:hopefully i get verified tomorrow...but i keep saying that....
How could they tell what your % complete was?desidr said:i was just thinking of all these horrible scenarios today, like what if they lost my transcripts...omg i will FLIP THE F OUT if i hear anything even remotely close to that.
don't jinx me! hopefully i get verified tomorrow...but i keep saying that....
njcaldwell said:Bump, anyone get verified today???

applyingsucks said:Hey I'm in a similar situation as you, submitted in late June, and the added a school to my app on July 21st, I had to then produce a letter stating that I never attended the school that they added (they added Albert Einstein College of Medicine) which is so fuked up, becuase I wish I was in AECOM, I've been back in line for review since the 27th of July. So im guessing Im going to wait at least anohter couple of weeks.
knio said:They sure are working fast nowadays. I didn't expect them to verify my application until early next week. I guess the angry avatar does work!
Monkey12 said:another post 7-18er getting verified before me 🙁
taylormade44 said:same thing happened to me
