How long after submitting your application did you hear back?

[LatePrePharm]

My friend submitted his application on Feb 1st. His stats are ~3.1 GPA, chemistry BS, had to retake a few classes a couple times, 60 on pcat, minority. He's getting nervous because he hasn't heard anything back from the 5 schools he applied to and some of his application was rushed. He doesn't have much for extracurriculars and he just started volunteer work a couple months before applying.

Do you think my friend has a chance? How long did it take you guys to hear anything back after you submitted your application? (I'm curious about the answer too)

My application was verified on 2/16. And I already have interview invites for 2/5 schools I applied to.

Why isn't your "friend" here posting?

He asked me if I would post it for him since I read this board a couple times a week.

2 weeks after I submitted my application. Had my interview last Thursday

Most places I heard back a couple days after submitting supplementals. He has submitted supplementals right?

Also probably won't look that good that he just started volunteering a couple months ago, doesn't look like something he's committed to, and might come off as resume fluff to boost the application
