anybody receive interviews before being AACOMAS verified if you already sent secondaries if they were available on the schools' websites?

I think this is impossible. How would they know what your stats are just based on your secondary application? Also, most people advise not to send in a secondary until they receive your primary.

so AACOMAS sends nothing to the schools until they verify the primary?

uh maybe your name? But other than that, why would they send anything? They release most of the information in a PDF once you've been verified. They still have to double-check that the classes you entered into the primary match your transcript.

It's definitely not impossible, schools do it on occasion for sure. I know of at least LMU-DCOM, PCSOM, and VCOM all doing this at one point or another.

There's a person who posted in the LMU-DCOM thread last night who said they received an interview invite for DCOM before their primary was verified and before their MCAT retake was released.

Since DCOM's secondary doesn't ask for GPA, etc., it leads me to believe that schools can probably see preliminary information before your application has been verified.
