I was wondering if every single applicant gets a secondary from a given school, provided he has already paid the secondary fee (while e-submitting aadsas). or, are only a selected number of applicants given a secondary???

thanks!

i don't think you can provide the secondary fee through aadsas. It's what the schools collect after they review your aadsas file. And I think they send it to everybody, because they want to rob all of us blind

If a school utilizes secondaries and they are interested in you then yes, they will send you one. Some schools, such as Penn, make theirs available online and don't consider your file complete until you have submitted it. While others, such as Case, don't have them and simply invite you to the interview.

ok, but even if they're not interested in you, they will send you one, which includes a secondary fee, so they get richer thru us. is that right?

even if you have really low stats, they will still take your money, and then reject you afterwards......so the answer is yes, they will take your money even if in reality they are not interested in you....lousy ba$***** 😡 :meanie:
 
Well with Loma Linda, their letter made it sound like I passed some preliminary screening, so maybe that's one school that doesn't send out secondaries to everyone.
