Question about when secondaries begin coming in

[madamemichaelscott]

If I submit my primaries on day 1 of when submission opens up for AMCAS and get verified quickly (I saw on last year's threads that some that submitted day 1 got verified the same day), does that mean secondaries begin rolling in right away?

I guess I'm confused on when secondaries begin rolling in:

• Do they start coming in as soon as your primary application is verified?
• Or does it take time for the primary to get to schools once it is verified and then I get secondaries once schools receive the primary (i.e., they don't really read primaries and send secondaries to everyone)?
• Or is it even more delayed and schools only send secondaries once they review primaries?

I understand these things might be school-dependent but an idea of when most schools send out secondaries would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

At least for MD schools, no school gets an application until June 30th, some schools have an automatic system that sends secondaries out first day starting june 30th, others screen.
