I have a really dumb question. I saw the thread about how not showing up to medical school interviews without informing them first is really unprofessional and could potentially burn bridges in terms of residency chances.

I just wanted to confirm that denoting a school on AMCAS, receiving a secondary, but then not submitting that secondary, is fine. That won't piss anyone off, right?

Also, submitting a few secondaries within the deadline, but embarrassingly late, while it will undoubtedly hurt my admission chances, won't be cause for blacklisting, correct?

Thanks

It takes one minute to send an e-mail graciously withdrawing your application. You don't need to spend money on secondaries that you don't want to submit.

Dude. Srsly.

1) Correct, but some schools will send you endless friendly reminders, which is annoying. Best to just formally withdraw with a quick polite email. Just a "I wish to withdraw my application from further consideration." Include your AMCAS# so they know it's you.

2) Correct.
