n00b Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 How long is it taking you to get verified? Post the date you submitted your primary and date you were verified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Hey, I submitted June 9 but my transcripts weren't received for a few days after that and mine was completed today. Question about the verified grade point averages, what do the different columns mean? ie. BCPM and AO?? I don't know how I can check that they're correct when I don't know what anything stands for?!? Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00b Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 BCPM = Bio Chem Phys Math AO = All Other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Thanks! So I know these are simple questions but the whole AMCAS process is confusing to me: Now that my course grades are verified, all my percentages have just been changed into letters in the OT grade and AMCAS grade columns. So to verify, we just go through and make sure they put the correct letter in for the percent grade we have? I don't know how I'm supposed to check that the GPA is correct when I don't have any numbers to calculate it with:S I miss OMSAS:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Bump? There is a distinct lack of direction from AMCAS I find...does everyone else just have letters instead of percent? How do you verify the GPA they calculated??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pretty easy to figure out which system they used to convert your grades...as long as all the conversions are self consistent, then you have nothing to worry about. If you can, add to the wiki which the undergrad school and the conversion scale they used for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THX Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Submitted June 20th, Verified July 8th. It's taking a long time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00b Posted July 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Can we submit secondaries before our primary is verified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THX Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 No, you have to wait until you are verified until you receive secondaries. That said, there are a few schools that don't screen and will send you a secondary shortly after you submit (not verified) - they send it to everyone.

n00b Posted July 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I think you misunderstood my question. I have received secondaries already but am not verified. Can I send out completed secondaries now or do I need to wait until my primary is verified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In_Valid Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I think you misunderstood my question. I have received secondaries already but am not verified. Can I send out completed secondaries now or do I need to wait until my primary is verified? I thought they only send out the primary once it has been verified. =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00b Posted July 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Uh....no, unverified people have received some secondaries already lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THX Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Only some schools send out secondaries before being verified (ie. they haven't screen the grades yet) - everyone gets it. An example of this is Boston University. I'm pretty sure you can submit the secondary before you are verified - it just won't get processed until you are verified.

Gavanshir Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Yeah, more and more schools, I'd say more than 70% of the schools send automatic secondaries. They don't care about your grades as long as they get that $100 application fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
