I thought I bombed the April MCAT. Turns out I did ok. I just submitted my application to AMCAS. Everything is there. Hopefully it doesn't get "frozen"
That being said, I have a few questions.

1.) How long does processing take? Can it really take up to 6 weeks or is it alot sooner?

2.) Does being a little later in the processing of the application- say 10 or 15 days later than another applicant- really hurt your chances for admission at this point? Be honest.

3.) When does Wayne State Send out secondaries?

Thanks alot,

Generally, the consensus is that it takes 4-6 weeks. So anywhere between one month to half a month. Schools don't start seeing the first applications til July 6th this year. You'll be golden, because you are still early compared to August MCATers. Don't stress. Just wait til the secondaries start rolling in and finish gather letters if you haven't gotten that squared away yet.
 
WSU sends out secondaries on a rolling basis... I think I got mine in early November. I was interviewed in mid December and accepted before the start of this year. Pretty quick.

OOOO I think I am wrong. I think I got the 2ndary early, before my MCAT reatke score was out. Wow this was so long ago it gets confusing now. But I think they gave me a 2ndary based on my first MCAT score, then got my 2nd score and gave me the interview. Was accepted like 1.5 weeks after that.
