For each school that you're applying to, check under Supplemental Application, Sent to ________. Or the search function, since this has probably been asked before...
If that involves too much work for you: Western, all the Touros, ATSU-KCOM/SOMA, AZCOM/CCOM, MSUCOM, NYCOM, OUCOM, PNWU-COM, RVUCOM, UNECOM, VCOM, WVSOM. (good thing i'm in a procrastinating mood)
NYCOM and WVSOM only send secondaries when they invite you to interview, so those two do screen. Don't really remember the other ones...
I think that a lot more schools should do this; it can save an applicant a significant amount of money.

So essentially your saying if you get a secondary from them, you know you have an interview invite? Or, they send them out along with the invite? Either way, does that mean that the secondary wouldn't arrive until late August or September if you submit in May/June?

I was under the impression that all schools prescreen their applicants. Does anyone know if LECOM Erie and Bradenton screen their applicants before inviting them to complete a secondary?
Yeah, NYCOM started sending out interview invites during October for in-staters and November for out-of-staters I believe. The secondary comes with the invite and they ask you to bring it to the interview with you. The interviews started the first week of November last year.

No, I don't think they do. As far as I understand it, anyone that applies can do the secondary.
Many schools do NOT prescreen or use a very minimal pre screening. This way they don't pass up a lot of good applicants. It also maximizes secondary fee income ($70 x 3,000 = ).
I heard at some schools if you get a secondary its almost a guarantee that they will interview you. I heard NYCOM and Western U COM are like this. Is this true?
NYCOM: See post #9 above
Western: Yes, the admissions office has repeatedly said that candidates are "thoroughly screened" before being sent a secondary application.
So if Western U sends you a secondary that means there is a pretty good chance they will interview you? Generally speaking how soon after getting the secondary should you send it in? I heard some schools get annoyed if you wait a long time, more than four weeks to send it to the adcom.

The one piece of advice I have w/ regard to D.O. schools and timing of 2ndaries is that I would return my 2ndaries in order of my anticipated preference of schools. D.O. schools can make pretty quick decisions to interview someone, and they have very high non-refundable deposits, so if you interview "out of order" of your preference, it can be likely that you'll get admitted in the same order, you could end up paying a deposit at each school until you hear from the last one if it's your favorite. If they take longer than expected to evaluate you pre or post interview, you can't do anything about it...but when you can, I suggest controlling the factors open to you so you don't end up losing ~$2,000+
This is extremely valuable advice for DO schools, and I don't recall previously seeing it on SDN.
