Do schools keep track of how long you take to complete your secondaries?

Does it reflect negatively on you if you don't return a secondary within 2 weeks of them sending it? Or do they not keep track of this?

There was a thread about this last week. The answer is no. If you go to that thread you'll see marginally more informative answers than this, from more trustworthy people than me.

gyngyn's post suggests that it does matter somewhat for his school

For the zillionth time, NO.

At my school you are not complete until all required documents have been submitted.
I doubt most places even notice the lag time between releasing secondaries and their return as long as they come in well before the deadline.

I think you're looking for reasons to worry. gyngyn said something that very mildly indicated that someone somewhere might be vaguely away of it, but also began that sentence with "relax".

U TN HSC absolutely DOES do this. They have a 1 week limit on the secondary from the time you get the link!

I haven't heard of any other schools that do, but TN applicants should be wary of their state medical school's policies on the matter.

Link in my signature to the answer, which holds true unless the school is explicit for the time limit they give you for completing the secondary (i.e. Wake Forest, UCSF).
