Hi all! I know that for MD schools, secondaries are recommended to be returned wtihin 2 weeks. I received a secondary from a DO school and in it, they recommend returning theirs within 1 week. If I return it past that, would it reflect on me badly? Also, does this 1 week secondary deadline usually apply to all DO schools?

I would just return them within reason for most schools. I wouldn't say majority have a deadline for them.

Thank you for your advice! If that specific school recommended returning it within a week, would returning it within the traditional 2 weeks be fine?

If they recommend returning it within a week then definitely try to do that but if you miss it by a day or two, they won't throw out your application or anything.
