Hi there,

I submitted my primary application very late (8/10) for verification due to personal circumstances. While I've been pre-writing secondaries, I recieved my first secondary from Tufts, and I wanted to know if it was okay to hold off on submitting my secondary until my primary is verified and all LORs are in by mid-September. I'm just worried though that Tufts AdCom will look poorly on taking a month to return the secondary as opposed to the typical implicit 2 weeks deadline.

Or would you recommend I submit my secondary right away even if my my primary won't be verified until mid Sept and all my LORs won't be in until then either?

Please advise!
 
Had a similar situation, I submitted my secondary for Tufts before verification though, since they wouldn't look begin review anyways until the AMCAS app and all other requirements were in
