I know this sounds neurotic, but please bear with me.
If I submitted my application June 7th, been verified, and am receiving secondaries from schools if a school for example like Columbia or Drexel sends out a secondary, and I do not receive one should I assume I won't be getting one?
Also does it depend on the relative "completeness" of the application in terms of LOR because I do have a committee letter, but a research advisor letter has not arrived at AMCAS.

Thank you
 
Some schools are slow. I was verified last year like 20 minutes after I submitted. People who were verified after me got secondaries before me. I didn't receive some secondaries till the beginning of July. It may be how much a school's servers can download the data from AMCAS and process it.
 
Don't worry Summerlax. You should just summerrelax.
 
Ahh okay I was just wondering! In my mind there was basically a queue, with your spot depending on when you submitted, and they just went down the line yes/no yes/no yes/no giving secondaries out like that. Thanks!
 
It's that time of year again!

Patience is a virtue, the need for instant gratification is not.


It all depend upon where in the pile you are. Secondaries are not sent out chronologically upon receipt of your app.
