Some schools (5 of the TX schools, for example) have secondaries online. In the case of TX, applicants can submit their secondaries before the school even recieves the primary application--while TMDSAS is bieng processed you can get a head start! Anyhow, your file isn't considered "complete" until both secondaries and primaries are filled out. What's annoying is that different school have different policies and you must investigate each school's website to determine the process.
