Hey guys!
So I recently submitted my primaries july 19th and I am still waiting for verification.
I recently got secondaries from GW, darthmouth, and tufts.
Is it still worth it to still submit early without being verified?
Thanks!

If there isn't a reason why you wouldn't end up applying this cycle, then there's no reason not to submit them as soon as possible.

Can you rephrase that?
Sorry I don't understand the first part of your response.

Basically the @partypantss was just saying that as long as you are sure that you are applying to them, then go for it. If for some reason, you didn't want to apply this cycle, then it wouldn't be advisable to pay money to schools you weren't applying to.

That said, I don't think schools would care about the mythical "2 week rule", especially without verification. Do your best to write them and have them ready to go when you do get verified, maybe have them edited by someone to check them over.

Wait, how did you recieve a secondary if you haven't been verified yet? Am I missing something here....

There are a small handful of schools that send secondaries before being verified.. I know I got mine from GW weeks ago and I still wont be verified for another couple days

Sorry, can't follow the double negative? I'm trying to say that if you know that you will be applying this cycle, then you have nothing to lose by submitting your secondaries whenever they are ready to go in. The only reason I can think of for why you should purposely hold off on submitting secondaries is if you think you might not end up applying this cycle after all. There is no reason for you to not submit just because you aren't verified yet.

More than a small handful at this point. Schools are increasingly requesting contact info from AMCAS upon submission if their school is selected. Only contact info is passed on

I appreciate the quick response!

There are lots of schools that send secondaries prior to primary verification.
