Hi,

I got invitations for secondaries in June. But only now I am in the process of submitting them. Will adcoms view it negatively that it took me almost two months to submit secondaries? In these two months, I studied for MCAT and retook it. Don't know the score yet.

You’ll be ok. Just fill out the secondaries the best you can and as soon as you can.

No but keep in mind that many admissions committees will review in the order a file is complete with all pre-review items.

You should be ok. Try and respond in a timely manner but don’t sacrifice quality trying to get them back quick.
