Can you guys tell me how long does it take to receive secondary applications after AMCAS verification?
Let's do it like this:

AMCAS verification date, Name of Medical School that sent the Secondary, the Date when the secondary was received

AMCAS Verified 6/24/20008- Medical School Secondary ??? - Date ?????
 
if i submit my primary august 18...saying that its verified and all on aug 18 cuz my second mcat score releases on 18...do schools send secondaries immediately? or whats the wait time for secondary? i want to get them all in before school starts on 25th

If you submit your primary on August 18th, even though your MCAT scores will be in, it will probably take 4-6 weeks to get your application verified. AMCAS will send out your app after that, but I suspect you wouldn't start to see secondaries until late September/Early October.

No i will be submitting primary around july 10th to 1 school, and will add all my other schools on august 18th when my second mcat score it out(my first score is too low so i think i might be below the cutoff for mcat scores at most schools), so 1 day processing by amcas since it will have been already verified. when should i expect all my secondaries?

or should i just apply to all my schools july 10th and get all secondaries done early...

is it true that people actually go on interviews even before school starts in end of august...not early deciisions, just regular apps
 
about 6 inches depending how you work it






no but usually pretty fast, I remember getting the bulk of them a month following the primary apps.
