Contacting admissions to see if they sent out secondaries

Hey guys so I still have not recieved a secondary from my in state school. I am wondering at what point is it okay for me to email the admissions team and ask if they have sent them out yet, just in case it was lost in my email or got deleted in my spam. What do you guys think I should do?

Don’t do that. Check the school specific thread and see if anyone’s received a secondary there.

Check your spam folder.
Check your trash folder.
Keyword search your email for the school’s name.
Check the school-specific thread to see if others are receiving secondaries.
Try to chill.

Nobody has commented on the thread if they have recieved anything or not. But looking at past threads, it looks like not a lot of people post for this school.

Is this the case if you decided to go check reddit?

Patience is a virtue, the need for instant gratification is not.

Apps are not processed in the order in which they're received.

Have you gotten any secondaries? One applicant just discovered that he hasn't received any secondaries because a AMCAS glitch has held up his application to all the schools. (what a nightmare!) It pays to check if things seem out of the ordinary.

Don't know if this would impact your situation, but AMCAS verifications are running later this year than last.

If your AMCAS application is still pending verification, you're not alone. The AMCAS Tracker is showing that verification is running at least five days behind the same timeframe last year.

AMCAS Tracker 2026-27

Track AMCAS transcript receipt and application verification timing with current-cycle status, historical cycle comparisons, and anonymous student-submitted data.

Keep calm and carry on!
