lets say i submitted aacomas and sent transcripts on june 1st or whatever day is the first possible, how long would it take for them to verify the application after that? lets say they verified the app and sent it out to all the schools applied, how long typically before i receive secondaries assuming my stats are good enough to get the secondaries? finally, how long typically does it take for the schools to receive the secondary and send out invites? also regarding the LOR, should i send them to the schools as soon as the primary is verified?
I think there is 4 questions somewhere in the midst of that mess, lol.
I will do my best to help.
First, you can send your transcripts to AACOMAS before June 1st, that way when June 1st hits you can submit your application right away.
Verification time varies. If you submit it on the first day then you should be verified fairly quick, but I have heard of it taking 4 weeks even when submitted by June 2nd. My application took 5 weeks to verify but I submitted on July 21.
Once it is released to the schools that you applied to (its only released once a week) then it can take anywhere from instantly to a couple of weeks to receive secondaries. Most of my secondaries were received within a week of my application being released.
Before you can get an invite you forgot to ask about interviews, which is the next step. My quickest interview invite occurred two weeks after my secondary was submitted, but interview invites can occur anytime through the interview season which typically goes until Spring time.
Acceptances come next and are also variable. The school I just interviewed at takes less than a week to get back to applicants with one of three results: 1. Accepted 2. Waitlisted 3. Rejected.
Your last question was in regards to LORs. Wait to send them until you receive a secondary, and some schools like LECOM make you wait to send them until you receive an interview invite.
Hope this helps.
