While the verification process was delayed last year if you notice the AMCAS website still states that it could take up to 6 weeks for verification. This is true every year and I've talked to other students who are currently in medical school and they told me the same thing - the earlier you apply, the sooner you are verified (it's pretty simple when you think about it, they have less apps to go through on a given day so yours is in a smaller pile). Also, as far as I know, schools don't send out secondaries immediately. There's usually a date where they'll start sending them out (so if you are verified before that date you have to wait a while to get a secondary sent to you. If you are verified after then you will get a deluge of secondaries all at once most likely). Hope this clears things up a bit!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12402989086122251272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5836669418182155265.post-87823677352106850982014-06-12T15:30:13.554-05:002014-06-12T15:30:13.554-05:00A moderator on student doctor network said that AM...A moderator on student doctor network said that AMCAS had some issues that significantly delayed the verification process for everyone last year. I wouldn't be surprised if secondaries were sent out much earlier this year than last.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776940809521793250noreply@blogger.com
