Regarding Secondaries

I've noticed that at the end of the application, some schools have questions at the end. Are these considered the secondaries and the only questions we have to answer? Or will we continue to get emails from these schools with more questions to answer? For example, UCLA asks a couple questions 500-2000 characters. After submitting the app, will UCLA send me even more secondary essay type questions to answer?


Thank you!

Below is what UCLA says. I am not sure about all schools as some include a few questions as well. I think it is on a school by school basis. UCLA says they will send an email out for you to pay the secondary app fee.

"The Personal History Form (PHF) or secondary application is no longer required since the fall 2018 AADSAS application includes the supplemental questions."

I noticed that this section is 0/X on the completeness of the application. Do we need to fill out all these program materials before submitting the application? Or is this what the secondaries are for?

If i remember correctly, you can submit the app of the completed schools (which is good bc starts the transcript verification process), then submit the other schools that have supplementals/secondaries later once you finish those

Yes those questions are the secondaries, but not all schools have them on the app. Other schools (like LLU and ATStill AZ) have their own portals with their questions/secondaries there.

You have to fill out all of those questions for that school's application to be complete. Other schools don't have secondaries and so you can submit those so that your GPA verification process can start while you work on the incomplete applications that require secondaries at the time of submission, as Krentist_72 said. Hope this makes sense.
