Hey guys! I don't know if im being paranoid, but it's been a week since I got verified, and so far I've received 2 secondaries. I was wondering is that normal or too little?

Thanks!

Some schools don't even release them until July. I would just be patient as most schools send secondaries to just about everyone that thought about applying. $$

Depends on what and how many schools you are applying to. There is a thread with secondary release dates.

That or if you had something like below a 3.0 or 500 mcat or missing something like LORs you may be already eliminated at some schools.

At this point if you're sure your application is complete just wait and it's likely you'll get more soon.

Good luck

I thought that LOR are not needed until when you send your secondaries? What are the schools that need LOR before that?

Secondaries are a tax on the hopelessly optimistic.

Hey @Goro
Are there any schools that require LOR before sending out secondaries? I am still getting my LORs after I submitted my primaries to all the schools.
Will I get rejected just because I don't have the LORs ready?

Don't know.

I see. Thanks! I guess I will call each school and find out.

Can you please write a book on witty one liners for pre meds asap? I thoroughly enjoy them.

Somebody did a thread on goroisms once.

I'd rank them up there with some of the best Coxisms. 🙂

You need your letters at PCOM to complete your app. Everybody gets a secondary app. You can not be complete with them without everything being in and then their committee looks at the apps. You need to be very patient with PCOM as they got over 10,000 applications last year just in Philadelphia. It is a real crap shoot to get an interview there.
