Will I be looked down upon for applying and then not submitting a school's secondary? I didn't submit secondaries to schools that were out of driving distance because I was very tight on money.

Why did you apply in the first place?

For a lot of schools, it will just make it seem like you're a reapplicant even though you didn't actually finish the secondary. Remember that every school you list in AMCAS will have seen your AMCAS application

My school uses a committee letter, and if I didn't submit on the first day I would have been significantly behind in the committee letter queue and my application would have been very late (it was sent out late anyway though, so...). I found out about this a few days beforehand, rushed to finish my entire app, and through a bunch of schools on because I didn't know I could add more later.

Needless to say, I was very disorganized.

Right I understand that every school will have seen my amcas application. My question, and maybe its school specific, is whether they will recognize that I applied but didn't complete a secondary, and then think that I did not have interest in their school.
