Primary verified.
Secondary completed.

The only thing are my LORs. How do they know I've sent all of the letters I intend to send?

Because they have a list of letters they are expecting from you.

Is this the list from secondaries or from primaries?

In your primary application you designated a specific set of LORs to each school. This list was then forwarded to the school with your primary application.

I see. So if I become complete at a school, will I still have the option to send in more LORs?

Read the AMCAS FAQ please. There is an entire section on this topic.

I'm gonna have to read this and start pre-preparing, because after my MCAT I have no time to deal with filling out the activities and all this nonsense...

Yes, but you might have to send them directly to each school as an update (as opposed to using AMCAS). Some schools have formal update systems on their applicant status page, where others simply ask for an email in advance so they know to keep an eye out for the letter.
