Has everyone received the secondaries from all the med schools they applied to for class of 2022?

no not all, about half. it's still early

Many places don't even send their first interview invites for another 4-6 weeks. It's super early. Don't worry about secondaries being slow to arrive.

First for 2017 cycle!
Patience is a virtue, the need for instant gratification is not.

My knowledge is that some med schools screen the secondaries but some send it out to all. Would you know of any such med school?

All the UCs screen. Possibly Vanderbilt and other schools I can't remember rn.

Many schools have a low-level screen that blocks the hopelessly low stats (e.g. GPAs below 3.2 and MCATs below 500). A handful have screens that involve reading essays/ECs (the UCs do this) or have pretty high stats screens (for example I believe Vandy screens ORM applicants with less than a ~510 MCAT).

You can check school-specific threads here to see if people have been getting secondaries:

Not yet but I know from experience and what others have told me that do not read too much into this. Good that you have received any already, at least it allows you to space out your drafting 🙂
