As soon as you reasonably can

I swear I will throw something heavy at the first person who says two weeks

WITHIN TWO WEEKS!

*ducks*

 

[xerei]

seconds after you get them, that's why they're called "second"aries

Is more than two weeks okay? Or is this auto-reject?

It is actually a felony. I am currently a multiple felon unfortunately.

As soon as you can and not like months later. Quality > time!!

I have been worried about this mythical two week rule.
My committee letter isn't in yet. I am sitting on 2 secondaries that are 2+ weeks old and two that will hit 2 weeks old on Friday. I assume I am ok since it isn't like my application would be complete with my secondaries right now.
However, the second my committee letter gets in, you can bet your bottom dollar that those 4 secondaries will be in so fast.

Obviously the sooner, the better.
But Wake Forest writes right on their secondary invitation that it MUST be in within 3 weeks of receiving it. So every school has its preferences.
