Secondary Applications Starting and Q & A

I've finally started receiving some secondary applications from med schools. Last Wednesday, I received emails from OSU and UM. (Oh, the irony.) I'm hoping to turn those applications in soon since I should be getting more applications coming.

Q&A
"Which schools do an initial screening before sending out a secondary application?"

Of the schools to which I am applying, six of them do a screening before sending out secondary applications. Those schools are Toledo, UNC, Wake Forest, Eastern VA, NEOUCOM, and Loyola. Because of this, I expect it to take longer to recieve any messages from those schools.

Primary Application Submitted!

I submitted the primary application this morning to AMCAS (American Medical College Application Service) - which is the company that runs the online primary application.

Now I just have to wait. (The med school application process is definitely a hurry up then wait cycle!) Some of the medical schools may be contacting me any day now with secondary applications.

I also need to work on contacting the people that I will ask to write reference letters for me.
