Question about secondaries

Members don't see this ad.

According to MSAR, 18 out of 19 of the schools I'm applying to send secondaries to all applicants that list them on AMCAS. Should I be expecting to fill out 18 secondaries?! I've seen a lot of progress posts that say something along the lines of "applied to 20, 6 IIs, 2 interviews, etc" with a lot fewer secondaries than applications. Does that mean I'm interpreting MSAR wrong and these schools do screen?

Thanks for your help on this fairly dumb question!

Some people probably do not fill out secondaries for all their schools. Like if you got into your top choice early on in the cycle, you wouldn't fill out secondaries to your "safety" schools etc.

Just a guess but are your equating " 6 II's" as 6 secondaries? they mean they got 6 interview invites (II) and attended 2 interviews. It doesnt mean they only filled out 6 secondaries.

AHH everything makes so much more sense now. Thanks so much!
