how long does it take you guys from the time you get a secondary to the time you send it in? i used to be pretty good about it earlier on, probably spending 3-7 days on each depending on the length. now, as the secondaries get longer (ucla cough ucsf cough penn) im spending more than 2 weeks on each and getting lazier by the minute..

it seems like every question is the same as another one ive answered, but just reworded a little differently.. and yet even though i answered it 10 times before, i still get stuck :/

and then i have ocd with the spelling-check and grammar-check so it takes me like a whole day of re-reading and re-writing before i will send stuff out. SAD.

anyway how are all you doing with secondaries :]

I'm in the same boat as you. Finished UNLV, WesternU and UCLA's secondaries in 2 days but realized that I didn't need to fill out UCLA's until I get contacted from an adcom. UCLA's secondary is crazy! (13-14 pages) and I'm stuck on UPenn's essay questions still 😛

At least, it took three days. 😎

But, the first essay took slightly more than one month.

it took me 2 full days each for ucsf and penn. and it wasn't fun at all. it feels so good when you send them, though.
