Has anyone heard anything since their "we now have an internet payment system" email? Sorry if this is a redundant post.

I, for one, am not freaking out. I'm irritated because I've been enjoying the advantage of applying early, and Emory has taken that away (where I could've really used it).
I was also hoping to have all my secondaries done before the semester started again. Too late for that...
You have not lost any advantage at Emory...what are you talking about?
I know exactly what Inuranic is talking about. I feel like my MCAT score is pretty average (a 30 with an 8 in PS), but that getting everything in ASAP and being complete in mid-July allowed me to be in the first batch of applications considered for an interview, and probably helped me get as many early interviews as I have right now. At this point (September), there are so many more people who are already verified, have all of their LORs together, and are able to get their secondaries in ASAP as well. So, when Emory comes out, the advantage of having been verified by AMCAS in early June and having all LORs uploaded to VirtualEvals by early July won't be an advantage, and there will be a veritiable deluge of people complete all at the same time. There will be no "early" applicants at Emory.
Anyway, I don't think that that "early" advantage applies at all schools, since some of the schools haven't even started sending out invites yet. Perhaps at those schools becoming complete early didn't yield much advantage since they wait to accumulate many more complete apps before making any decisions. No way to know, but I definitely feel like I wouldn't have received an invite to GWU if I hadn't gotten my app in as one of the first.
OK, I see it now...good point, but I still don't think it is that big a deal...
Phoenix you seriously ROCK!! Thanks for the update!
