I've submitted 24 secondaries so far. I added Keck and Miami last minute and am thinking about submitting them tomorrow. How much will submitting after labor day hurt my chances?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think labor day is the hard deadline. It's just a general deadline, submit before then to be considered on time for most schools. I doubt someone submitting a day after Labor day will be considered much differently than someone who submitted the day before, (all other factors being equal).

Via Planeblue's interview tracker, 73.2% are remaining by the end of August, 51.3% by the end of September. It's a different metric because it's invites rather than secondary submissions, but I imagine there's a correlation. That's roughly a 1/3 decrease, but it's a month difference and if I had to guess secondary submissions are what, 2-3 weeks delayed behind IIs? If I had to guess, you're probably working at 70-90% effectiveness.
