Correct and so Columbia's will be the first e-mail you get in your inbox if you applied there.they don't even know that we applied to their school until June 24 at the earliest, right?

Evidently this is true, but I swear my understanding from previous years was that schools starting sending out secondaries prior to the big data dump - the idea being that they are given your very basic info as soon as you submit the AMCAS.
I guess that either wasn't the case, or things are different this year. Frankly, I have enjoyed the break from the madness - got verified the first week, and have been taking it very easy...July should be tons of fun!
No, Columbia's is the only one that came for me on the first day. The rest will trickle in after that as schools are still dealing with finalizing their current class.so for schools that dont screen are we gonna get the secondaries right when they get the application?! if that's the case im kinda screwed applying to over 30 schools![]()

I still don't know how bad it's really gonna be, but it should be nice that they come in more or less one by one rather than all at once. I guess it'll depend on how many schools we applied to (25 for me). Not gonna lie, I'm scared.
i'm not asking this to be mean; i really am curious. why would you apply to schools through AMCAS and not fill out the secondary? especially if you're on SDN and well informed prior to applying-- it's not like schools' requirements or secondary prompts should come as a complete surprise after you submit the primary. someone want to enlighten me?
also the money spent on primaries <<<<< money saved on school's financial aid/not getting rejected
haha now im feeling like an idiot with 36 under my belt.
anyone else taking the long list and cranking out essays already? i feel like the 08-09 prompt thread is extremely handy...
i'm totally impressed with you if you're doing this already. i can't seem to motivate myself at this point... i guess i'll have 18 secondaries a-waitin' come end of june/beginning of july. alas.
but i am totally enjoying my time off 😀
I applied to 46 schools and I've got rough drafts/brainstorming done for all of my essays and 3 secondaries completely done so far.haha now im feeling like an idiot with 36 under my belt.

This is my current state of mind - I am burned out - I am enjoying this brief respite - I need to get it in gear, though, and follow through on key secondaries.
July will be busy, that's for sure.
FML,
we already knew we were long-list buddies. no need to shout it from the hilltops!!
youre done w 3 already?! **** kid...i call dibs on entering into a domestic partnership with FML!!!
Exactly how I'm feeling. I did around 6 right now, but then I'm just going to chill until late June. It's going to be a busy June/July.
So what is the general consensus about when most secondaries start coming in? Do they come beginning of July, or do most start coming middle/end of July like 3rd/4th week? Assuming you submitted right at the beginning and are already verified? I'm asking because we were planning on doing a week trip as a combination vacation/looking at certain states to see how areas/schools are. We can't go in August because I have summer school, so if I had to miss a week in July, would you recommend the beginning or more towards the end? Thanks.
I think some start coming in 6/24 or 6/25 and then more come in later throughout July.
So basically, chances are that there are going to be some secondaries coming in no matter when I go in July. I guess I'll just have to get a big head start and deal with it. Hopefully they trickle in slowly like others are saying.![]()
ahhh i wish all the schools screened applicants then i would be more motivated to do the secondaries when i get them =)
good job on starting them already those of you who did, I have about 20 schools that dont screen but cant get myself to write anymore essays after all the primary application stuff!
I wish all the schools screened, too.
I would rather have them learn more about me before throwing out my application for not meeting their stupid GPA/MCAT cutoff.
But they'll never take our freedommmm!! <raises massive sword into the air>They want our money.

Haha. They already took mine.👎
I realized how foolish I was applying to about 30 schools after finding out the average secondary fee. I'm going to have to rank the schools now and pay as I go since it's waay to much money for me. As for secondaries, I'm working full time and I come home exhausted so I'm just taking it easy until next week...
Uh oh, maybe I should have thought about that before applying to so many. So... how much are they? 😕
i want everyone to know!!! haha plus I wanna see if anybody else is close to me or am I really the craziest mutha****** on the planet
but I'm pretty sure Elijah has like 40 something too
oh and we could totally get married... i'm a girl 😛
word. I think I'll still have half of my secondaries still to go by the time july rolls around... and hopefully no one will radically change their secondary...
whoa 😱😱😱lol i got 45 i think me and you win in this contest...though i dont think its something you want to win. I already did all my secondaries except VCU, and vandy...i figured ill get screened out of there anyways so i lost interest in doing these. Maybe ill add 2 more schools just to top you..........😛
whoa 😱😱😱
you're done already?!?!
puts my meager drafts to shame😳
you win😀
lol well like 10 of the schools im applying to have no secondary prompts....and they are not finalized...ive written them all and gone over them a time or two but thats it...ive lost interest in doing them until the real thing gets here. Besdies i cant win until i add 2 more schools!! 😛....whats wrong with us applying to so many schools anyways 🙂
