how long for secondaries to arrive


Recommended Posts

I also got some questions about secondaries:

1) Is there a timelimit to how long you have to work on a secondary?

2) Is your secondary incomplete until your letters arrive?

 

1) only for some schools. most have no time limit.

 

2) yes it is considered incomplete until letters arrive.

 

I would also like to know how long it takes for secondaries to arrive. A week? A month? Or does it vary by school?

 

it varies by school. some i got as soon as i clicked the "submit" button on my amcas application, while others took a few weeks.

Hey, for those of you that have your primaries verified already, how long did it take? My primary was submitted June 9 and transcripts were received a few days after so it's been around 3 weeks. I thought I had submitted early but I'm getting impatient:(

 

As an aside, I realized after I submitted that I forgot to add "and lab" to my courses that included labs. I called them and he said that wouldn't delay it, that they would just fix it. Could this be what is holding it up?? (I know..stupid stupid mistake...)

 

Thanks!!

I've got 6 out of 12. Do schools send out secondaries to all of their applicants?

 

The wait is really irritating me. I want to send out all my secondaries in one batch.

 

Most schools send out secondaries to all applicants. Others schools screen AMCAS applications and only send secondaries to selected applicants. This information should be available on the school's website and is definitely in the MSAR.
