Hey guys,

I have a question about the Primary submission dates. According to AMCAS, they're not sending any of our information to the med schools until 6/24. I was wondering if it makes a difference whether I submit my primaries on 6/4 versus sometime around 6/15. thanks!

If you submit around 6/15 it'll take longer for your app to get verified, and AMCAS won't submit your app to schools until after you're verified. Submitting 6/15 is still early though, so if you need the extra time to make sure everything is well-written and good to go, it will be worth it.

Technically yes, in reality, no.

If you submit on 6/4 you will be verified by 6/24. If you submit on 6/15, you likely will not.

Is it going to make a difference in terms of an interview? No. As long as you are complete with the school by mid/late July, its all the same (IMHO)
