So its been exactly 2 weeks since AMCAS sent out primaries. I applied to 15 schools, have recieved 6 secondaries(Medical College of Wisconsin, Mayo, Medical College of Chicago, Medical College of Chicago, University of Hawaii and USUHS, my #1 pick), been rejected by the U of South Dakota, (non residents need not apply) and heard from U of Minnesota, Duluth and Twin Cities, U of Wisconsin, U of Iowa and U of Miami that they have recieved my primary and will email me secondaries soon.

Harvard, John Hopkins and Morehouse school of medicine, (saftey school) have yet to contact me.

The thing is that I heard from the some of these schools almost 2 weeks ago, (U of Wisconsin on June 26 stating that they would do an initial screen of 22 MCAT and 2.8 GPA) and I still haven't heard from them yet.

Is this normal or should I start panicking and calling these schools?
 
Come on, take a breath and be patient.
 
It's completely normal. Don't be that guy who contacts them after just 2 weeks.


Is it not good to contact the admin office?

I call like gazillion times a day bombarding them with questions..
 
You should enjoy having a few less secondaries in your inbox for a bit. They will come soon enough. 🙂
 
should I start panicking?

Yes. Because I had started panicking looonnnggg time ago looking at posts by SDNers who are submitting as soon as (literally) the secondaries are released.
