Hello. Sorry if the answer is posted elsewhere.

My primary application was received by the schools on 7/31 and I have only received secondary invites from about 1/3 of the schools I applied too. It has now been almost 3 weeks. Is it too early to call and see if there is an error ?

I read in another thread that ATSU-KCOM was having issues with AOL email addresses and that is my email provider! So now I am a little paranoid! Any one else have issues not receiving secondaries?

Thanks 🙂

I think it depends on the school. For example, I received Nova's almost instantly,but I have yet to receive KCUMB's secondary. I was released on 7/25. What schools are you waiting on?

I didn't have to wait for an e-mail to access KCOM's secondary. Just go to their admissions site and click on the secondary link and make a username and password.

Also, I have an AOL account and I did not have any problems getting my secondary applications through it. Just try to patient.
