I applied and was verified by AMCAS May 29th, and my app was transmitted to schools June 27th, and I have not received any secondary essays from any of the 28 schools I applied to. I have 4.0 GPA, 525 MCAT, just wondering if I messed up something along the line, or if this is normal due to high application volume. Is anyone else in the same situation?

I have no experience as an applicant but my first thought is that you need to check your JUNK file or other places that responses from schools may have landed. Also check to see that your email address is correct on your AMCAS application.

Something is definitely wrong. Mine was transmitted on the 27th and I've received 30/32 secondaries. Call AAMC for sure.

It's been almost a month. I'd check your junk/spam or AMCAS to make sure you are getting communications. I'd hate to suggest this, but you may need to check each school individidually to see f there is a pattern.

My email address is correct, and I've had AMCAS double check transmission as well several times, not sure what I did wrong

Nothing in junk folder either, do I just email the school?

If you’re ABSOLUTELY sure everything is correct and AMCAS has transmitted them and they aren’t just lost in your email (junk and spam) I would reach out to a single school first (like a backup) and try to find the problem there before moving onto the rest.

I reached out to a single school, they have no record of my application, there is likely an error in transmission. I am trying to work it out with AMCAS management to identify the issue.
