I'm planning to apply to my state MD school and DO schools broadly. This summer has been crazy, and I couldn't submit my primary as I had planned. This resulted in my primary being delayed and probably won't be submitted until mid-July. Would this significantly affect my chances? I'll pre-write secondaries, so hopefully I'll be complete by late August/before Labor Day. Thank you for helping!
