I got some secondaries and my primary is not even verified yet. Is ot ok to go ahead and send them in?
 
I got a secondary from an allo school & my AMCAS application is not even reviewed yet. I guess this means that they don't screen based on your primary, so might as well just sent it out.

Yes, the secondary is without any screening. Its not that they dont care, they do but when time comes, (When they get money from as many people as they can they will work on who to accept.) hehehe
