Secondary Timeline for those who submit first day

[248pinkalicious]

Quick Q' for those who applied on the first possible day and got transmitted in the first batch, when did you receive your first secondary, about 50% of your secondaries and your last secondary? (want to know for planning purposes for pre-writting)

I submitted my application day one to 20 MD schools.

My first secondary received was on 06/24/22.

I had received 50% (10) of my secondaries by 7/5/22.

I received my last secondary on 08/01/22 although the majority of them came before 07/21/22.

Overall the bulk of secondaries were sent in July with a small handful (6) in June. Only one secondary came during August. I don't know how many schools you are applying to, but let me assure you that writing secondaries for 20 MD schools and 10 DO schools was exhausting while working full-time. If you are serious about pre-writing I would start as soon as you can. Obviously make sure your primary application is polished and ready to go but as soon as that is done I would take a quick break then jump right back in.

Good luck!
