Sorry if this question has been asked before but I did a couple of searches and couldn't find anything.

I understand submitting your primary June/July is considered early, and submitted mine mid-June. I am currently working through secondaries. Could anyone elaborate on the time-line for secondary applications? When is early, mid-season, late for secondary applications?

Try to send them out 2 weeks upon their arrival. With that being said, early July is very early. Mid July to early August is still early. Mid August to early September is on time. Mid September to Early October is kind of late and anytime after that is late and will hurt your chances...this is around the time Acceptances start so your basically going to be decreasing your chances of acceptances day by day. Some happy go lucky person might interject that they were complete October at the school they attend but that's probably the worst advice out there. You can't just compare applications. Most secondaries arrive in July if you apply at the earliest. I would aim to have everything in by early to mid August.

I'd Say mid September is late, and late september onwards seriously affects your application (though II still possible)
