So I submitted my TMDSAS (yesterday) and AACOMAS (a few days ago). Transcript requests were faxed to my school about a week ago... and committee letter request has been submitted and should be sent to schools in a couple weeks... now comes the waiting game. I'm hoping all my primary stuff will be complete by early September.

I guess I should be pre-writing my secondaries so when they come, I can send them out ASAP. I'm sure I'm not the only one in this "waiting" part of app season... what do ya'll do during this time? Just curious 🙂

BTW, congrats to all who have already gotten interviews/acceptances!! Ya'll deserve it for getting your apps in so early. 👍

Did AACOMAS mark your transcript as received?

Nope. How long should it take for them to receive transcripts? I submitted my request to my school a week ago so I assume it has been mailed out by now.

TMDSAS won't send secondaries out- go to the site and click on "After you Apply". It will list out all the schools that require secondaries with links to each.
Also, as an aside, I submitted my AACOMAS app 7/02 and started getting secondaries on 7/20.
I submitted TMDSAS 7/02 and they received payment 7/07. Schools still have not received my primary app from TMDSAS. I plan to give it a full four weeks before I contact TMDSAS to make sure all is OK.
Good luck to you!

Yeah, keep on top of transcripts/letters/mcat scores being received.

Pre-writing secondaries is a great idea. You can find most of the prompts in the school-specific discussions.

You're still in relatively early, keep it up by having the 2ndary essays ready to go when you receive them.
