For the publications question, can we put publications that are in preparation and will be submitted within the next few months? Or do you think it is limited to papers that have been officially accepted/submitted?

only the submitted/accepted ones. Presumably you talked about participating in these research projects in your primary app.

Is this school sending secondaries in batches or am I screened out? Submitted primary 6/3 and I got a secondary from here last year

Current M2 at VTC, feel free to ask any questions you may have either in the thread so others can see or DM me. Good luck!
