I'm sure there is a list out there like this but I can't find it. So, does anyone know which schools send secondaries to applicants they plan on offering interviews to?

I've heard the NYCOM does this but that is the only school that I've heard anyone saying confidently that they interview those that receive secondaries.
 
WVSOM only sends secondaries to those who get invited to an interview. Then again, there are some schools like DMU, TOURO-NV that will send an interview without a secondary, however some people must fill out a secondary to be considered.

Isn't this process great!! It is sooo streamlined, efficient, and most of all, timely!

I'm not bitter, I'm just thinking of changing my middle name to "hurry-up-and-wait"

We had solid info from Admissions that Western screens your primary fairly heavily, so that a secondary is already a good sign and a higher proportion of secondaries turn into interviews than other schools.
