Hey,

I have another stupid question for you guys.

I planned a week-long road trip with my best friend from May 30th - to June 8th. As the date draws near, I am starting to get a little anxious about that week being the first week after I submit my AACOMAS. I'm still planning to submit my application the day of June 1st either in a hotel room or getting a trusted family member to do it.

My understanding is that AACOMAS takes a few weeks to process so I'm guessing that I won't be getting any secondaries in that first week right? I just was hoping to confirm that I'm not screwing myself over.

Thanks guys

Submit as early as possible, otherwise it will take a month to process.

I got a few secondary applications 20 minutes are being verified and the applications being sent to schools (I think the bulk submit on tuesdays??). Some secondaries took up to two weeks following the verification.

Hey,

I have another stupid question for you guys.

I planned a week-long road trip with my best friend from May 30th - to June 8th. As the date draws near, I am starting to get a little anxious about that week being the first week after I submit my AACOMAS. I'm still planning to submit my application the day of June 1st either in a hotel room or getting a trusted family member to do it.

My understanding is that AACOMAS takes a few weeks to process so I'm guessing that I won't be getting any secondaries in that first week right? I just was hoping to confirm that I'm not screwing myself over.

Thanks guys

No, you will not receive any secondaries until your primary has first been verified by AACOMAS.

Okay so if I'm reading that list correctly I probably won't get a secondary any earlier than 6/14?

This changes year to year...this past year, when I applied, was a bit later compared to the previous year. So, you will get some variance in dates.

But, in general, as long as you apply within the first month, you'll be ahead of the game. You can pre-write your secondaries by looking up what the prompt was last year and be ready to go whenever you get a secondary.
 
Will that sec prompt likely be the same , halflistic?
 
What schools have the same secondary prompts year after year?
 
I would also definitely like to know this!

Most of them. I got a lot of prompts from the school specific threads from the previous year. All were the same questions.

The best/worst secondaries were those that had me fill in a few boxes; name, DOB, SSN, address, phone number, etc. along with $50-100 then hit submit. They were the best because they were so easy, the worst because I felt like the schools were just taking my money because all that information was in my primary application. What is the purpose of doing both when the information is the same? Besides making money off me.

Other stupid secondaries had me type in all my classes again. That was DUMB!

Which made you type all the classes again!?
