1. First question - The order they are being processed in: the guy said that everyone who submitted from the first day up till mid July are being treated like a "clump." That clump is supposed to be done by next week.
2. Second question - paper apps: they are just a summary, not our whole app. He said they should all have been sent by the "first of the week." Never heard that before
I basically just called them to vent some frustration and ask why my app wasn't starting to be processed since it's been 6 weeks (pointless and a waste of money - I know) but I only waited 4 minutes at 4:30 this afternoon and got a very nice guy who told me that everything should be just fine, just be patient. At least he was sympathetic.
On a final note, I called my top choice med school (Mount Sinai) and asked them if they received any paper apps since if they were fed exed you'd think they'd be there by now. They said they have received NOTHING yet from AMCAS, absolutely no applications or anything and the lady said "they are telling every med school a different story and we are getting sick of it!"
Just thought I'd share the info. Seems like everyone gets a different story when they call AMCAS.
Oh well - Someday this place will be flooded with relieved posts about how it wasn't all that bad in retrospect now that we are all in and on our way to MD-hood!
Best of luck to everyone....
