Is it okay to send your secondary applications to school via FedEx so that they get there sooner?

Would med schools be annoyed that you are doing this? Obviously I wouldn't make them sign for the delivery, but I'm just wondering if there are any negative consequences to sending a secondary by FedEx that anyone can think of.

The problem is that regular mail just takes too long.

Thanks 🙂
 
I actually think regular mail is generally pretty quick, but I wouldn't send a secondary application through the mail without at least tracking/delivery confirmation. I'm sure lots of people FedEx their secondaries for the sake of assurance.

Lol, sending a fruit basket with your secondaries?
 
Almost all secondaries are done over the web. It's much faster than Fedex 😉 .
 
I know you want to maximize on time but honestly the time you save is NOT going to determine whether you get an interview or not.

So save your money because applying is going to get expensive 👍
 
I have not seen the FED EX button near or close the SUBMIT button on any of my secondaries yet, so I have no idea what you are talking about.
