Hi,
I have like 26 secondaries all lined up; how do I decide which order to do them in? I dont think any have a 'hard' deadline. Already did Northwestern...

i would do the schools that you most want to go to and also the schools that are already granting interviews.

Definitely do the schools with rolling admission first...those are the ones where the earlier they are done the better. For me personally, after separating rolling/non-rolling, I have ordered them by order of preference of where I would like to go. If you don't really hae a preference, I would complete the ones for schools you thinkk you have a good shot at. This way you become even more competetie at these schools.

Similar situation for me. I'm trying to do them in the order received, except for ones with deadlines. I've also sent a few quick ones out of sequence.

That really isn't that many. You should try to finish them within a week of getting them. 👍

are you mcat scores on file, or did you just take the recent test. this should dictate the urgency of completing your secondaries.

do the rolling ones first. order the rolling ones and do the hardest/longest ones first. after that, every other secondary will seem like a breeze. so if you have davis. do that. and after that everything else will be like......a nice massage haha.

see, i did the easy ones first. I'm a SLOW writter, and I knew the hard ones would take me forever. So I did the easy ones since I wanted to get a few out somewhat early.

thanks for the responses...there was another post about how schools look at how quick you turn-around to them; One of my recommenders still isnt done; I realize they wont look at my app until they are all in but will the date I turn the secondary in still be considered the date it was recieved or only once the whole file is complete? thanks!
