Slow with return of secondaries = bad?

Not usually someone to post these panicky type threads, but work has been extremely busy and I just haven't had time to focus on secondaries. Received 8/11 so far, only returned 2.. and have had them for almost two weeks now.

I'm going to buckle down and try and return a few over the next few days.. any tips on focusing in on them, when i do have time?

I don't think it makes a big difference. Schools know that we have lives and aren't going to judge you on return time. However, the quicker your get them in the better chances you will have as an early applicant. I had some of my secondaries for 4 weeks last cycle as I was waiting on a LOR

How does sending lettters via Interfolio work? I have some secondaries now - if I'm still waiting on MCAT scores should I go ahead and have letters sent to schools before the secondary arrives? Or is it typical to send the secondary and request letters sent from Interfolio at the same time?

I would just wait until you get a secondary. It's all electronic, anyway, so the schools get them in a couple of days
