Delay between secondary application submission and "complete" file?

[poi78]

I submitted secondaries anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks ago, and I'm just barely receiving notifications that my file is "complete." Is this delay at all normal??

Yes, if a school is getting 4,000 or 5,000 secondaries, which they are, it is going to take time for a file to be reviewed and marked complete.

But complete does not mean my file has already been reviewed, right? It means that it's ready for review?
