Verification time for late June submission?

I took the 6/16 MCAT and will be receiving my scores on July 18th. I am still working on my primary and want to make sure it is near flawless before I submit. With that in mind, if I submit say June 23-26ish, do you all think that I will be verified around the time my MCAT score is released?

Roughly 15 business days... it would land around the same time

doubt it. People who submitted June 2nd are still being verified

Okay, two conflicting answers here. On the verification thread I'm seeing some people getting verified instantly (i.e. submit 6/15, verified 6/15). Whats with the variability? Why is it taking some people longer than others?

People who were verified quickly are probably early decision applicants. However, if you are a regular applicant, it will take a while since they are still verifying applications submitted on June 2nd. Maybe they start picking it up.

does it matter?

It will get verified when it gets verified
It will be transmitted when it be transmitted
It will be reviewed when it gets reviewed

So unless you are planning to withdraw your application because it won't be verified by a certain date, there is nothing that you can do other than to start working on secondaries.

Move on

I should have been more specific. It does matter because if verification is taking a long time, I will work as hard as I can now to submit within the next few days. But if verification is only taking 15 days, I would like to have additional people read my work/activities and personal statement.

Completion date is more important than when you're verified. That includes secondaries. If your app is complete at a school in August you'll still be fine.

It takes a very long time to get through the first couple days, because so many people submit ahead of verification startup. It gets rolling a lot faster after these first weeks. It will probably be 2-3 weeks for a late June submission, same as last year and the year before that.
