depends on how backed up they are...SEND IN YOUR APPLICATION NOW--it took a month for them to process mine, then u get secondaries and have to write a TON of essays...i've just finished up my secondaries and now the schools just have to wait for my scores in a week or two. Turn in your AMCAS immediately, get the questions for secondaries from previous SDN posts in pre-allo, and work on them like crazy so you won't be too far behind...i don't mean to scare you, I just want you to turn in the application as soon as you can...or will your designated schools change according to your scores? also, post this question in the pre-allo forum for more feedback...
