Ok, I'm gonna submit the main application tomorrow. Do you start receiving secondaries after that via email or what? Not sure how the whole process works. Thanks.
 
When it goes to AACOMAS, it takes a few weeks for them the get your application to all the schools, at least it did with mine. Make sure you send you Transcripts to AACOMAS right away (ASAP), because they may adjust your GPA before sending it to the schools. When the schools get you app., they will then send you secondaries (the painful part because they are all different and you have to answer their individual questions). Get those done right away. Usually they won't consider you for an interview until they have everything (AACOMAS, secondaries, Letters of Rec., and the MONEY).

Good luck. hope this answers your question....

Depends on schools. I got my CCOM and PCOM one via snail mail. MSUCOM, KCOM and COMP by e-mail. Although COMP has one posted on their web. I haven't heard anything from NYCOM.

It took about a month and a 1/2 for AACOMAS to process everything ..problems w/ transcripts not being sent and whatnot...then, after it was received, took 3-7 wks to get secondaries. ayy yi yi. It was a long and painful process but it def pays off!

Some secondaries come through email, some through snail mail depending upon the school. Good luck to you!
