Hey everyone,

I was wondering if any current medical students or reapplicants can chime in on this? I know for DO MSUCOM and Western has a 30 day limit to submit the secondaries, but any idea abt MD schools?

I know the sdn consensus is to submit it asap, but I might not be able to do it. Any information regarding schools with secondary timeframes will be much appreciated! :)
Thank you!

If i remember correctly, Davis and UCSD has a time limit of 30 days (or was it 2 weeks?)

Thanks all of you, really appreciate it!

@f4reignbeauty - thank you, but I don't have an msar so decided to make this thread haha. :p
 
Not trying to highjack your thread, OP, but I have a similar question that people might be able to answer: if I submit my secondaries before AMCAS receiving my LOR's, will this look bad? Specifically, my LOR's will be in a few days after the 2 weeks deadline that is so often touted as the time period in which you should get secondaries in
 
I think Quinnipiac asks that you submit it within two weeks of receiving it. I don't know if this is a hard and fast due date, but I'd still highly recommend abiding by it.
 
in general, try to aim for two weeks

If it comes close to a month is it ok?

Just compiling the info I got so far:
Wake Forest - 3 weeks
UNC - 7 days
UC Davis: 30 days
UCSD: 14 days
UC Irvine: 30 days
UC Riverside: 14 days
UCSF: 28 days
Quinnipac - 2 weeks
