My application has finally been released to the schools I have chosen on my AACOMAS application. I have received emails from schools acknowledging that they have received my application; however, it indicated they will conduct an initial review before sending the information for a secondary application if eligible...

How long does it usually take to get screened before secondary applications are sent out for applicants?


Thank you 🙂

Depends on the school. Some schools just do a basic MCAT/GPA screen. Others, like KCUMB and PCOM, do a pretty in depth screen that takes longer.

Either way, how long it takes depends on a bunch of factors.
 
for the school who dont screen...it was about 2 days. Then the rest come in staggered, which is somewhat nice
