Today I received a secondary application from one of the schools I applied to. But......

I still have not received confirmation of the verification of my AMCAS primary application...... And......

On my AMCAS account it still says "Status: Submitted to AMCAS - Ready for Review"


My questions... Whats going on?

Hmm, that is an interesting question, can schools see your entire application before it is verified by AMCAS? If so they may send out the secondary assuming the stats in your application are accurate. If not, they just want that secondary fee before they say "hell no!" (or "absolutely, come interview" but no one will be upset by that answer).
 
Yeah, this happened for me as well, I've gotten 3 secondaries and my AMCAS is nowhere close to being verified...a lot of schools just automatically send out secondaries, but they won't seriously review your app until everything is in (the primary, secondary, and letters of rec). It's kind of helpful because at least you can work on them ahead of time and submit them ASAP. I don't know if schools can see your primary before its verified though.
 
Same-- I've got the one from Penn State this morning, GWU, BU, NYMC, the morning after I submitted my AMCAS, and UMDNJ-NJMS and Tufts a day after that.

Sucks because a can't submit a bunch of them until they get my official MCAT score and committee letter from AMCAS anyway. 🙁
