I have submitted my primary app last friday and since then, I have only received 3 out of 17 sec invitations.
How long after submitting the primary do you usually receive secondary invitations?

i got a chunk of mine 2 weeks after submitting. then each week after that i've been getting a few slowly come in...there's still a bunch of schools who haven't even sent out theirs (u miami, stanford, emory, etc)

are you verified for AMCAS?

let me guess, you got 3 out of these four, columbia, yale, gwu, nymc

It has been a week since I have submitted my primary and I only have 3.

You'll only get a few until you are verified. Then they'll come pouring in.

That means I have to wait for another month before I can start on other secondaries because it takes for 4-6 weeks for the verification.
Will I be late for this cycle then?

You can get a head start on the essays by looking here:

Just check each school.

Is it ok to submit secondaries before your primary is verified by AMCAS?

I think it's fine to submit secondaries as soon as you receive them. So if you are not yet verified, but have secondaries, I suggest you submit them ASAP.
