Secondaries before AMCAS verification?

Members don't see this ad.

This is odd to me, I always thought that schools send out secondaries after AMCAS has verified everything....well I submitted to AMCAS on July 30th and it is in line to be reviewed (according to my check five min ago).
BUT I received my first secondary app? Pennsylvania State sent me secondaries (the first school to send me any yet).
SOOO is my app verified then? (already???)

Schools send out secondaries even before AMCAS has verified your app. They know who applied to their schools before the app has been verified. So, if it is a school that doesn't screen secondaries and just sends them to everyone, then they send them out before verification.

If you are verified, it will say so on your AMCAS main page.

Anyone know if Buffalo screens? That is my first choice school.

A lot of schools do this.

As for Buffalo check the school-specific thread in the school-specific discussion

Hey -

Really sorry to bump this but I was wondering:

I just started receiving secondaries too. I haven't checked them yet, but will very, very soon, but anyways, should I be submitting the secondaries before my primary is even verified?

Or am I supposed to wait until my status changes?

Also on a side note: I was taking a class to fulfill an English prereq at the same time I was in the process of submitting my primary. The class is now over, so should I submit the new transcripts again to update them, or should I just wait? Would this move my application to the back of the queue?

1.) Yes
2.) No. They won't update it. Use this as an update to schools later.
