Is it bad to submit secondaries before your primary is verified?

I'm a Texas resident and I'm so confused. In Texas, they say you can submit secondaries whenever you want (even before submitting our primary!).

How is this viewed in AMCAS? I will be submitting my application in a few days. Should I submit secondaries right after, or wait to get verified (meaning submit secondaries in 4-6 weeks)?

Check the school's policies. Some say DO NOT submit your secondary until your primary is received and you are invited to. Some will throw your app away if you submit it too early.

Look on their website for info.

You will get an email invitation to complete the secondary. Wait for it.

I can't imagine they would look down upon you or penalize you either way. They're not going to really consider your application until it's complete anyways.

Okay, it looks like every school is different.

Thank you all 😍
