So I was wondering if it's to late to fill out additional secondaries? My app has been in a while but I couldn't do all the secondaries due to financial issues. I am complete at 6 schools OOS with 3 ii. 2 ii from Instate. So 5 ii total. I am wait listed at one school. I haven't been to 3 of my ii but I'm nervous that I don't have an acceptance so I was wondering if it would be wise to fill out more secondaries. 3.8 cgpa and 29 mcat.
 
It's most likely not necessary. You'll get in to one of the schools you applied to, just make sure you're interviewing well! It's REALLY late in the game to send in more apps now.
 
Is it to late for places that are generally less competitive. Like wvcom, Kcom. By less competitive I mean less stat obsessed.
 
I can't give a clear cut answer anymore. This cycle is far too brutal for words. You can try some of the less competitive schools, since you seem good stats wise. KCOM is not one those less competitive schools, quite the opposite.
 
personally, I wouldn't. but that's me. if you are decent at interviewing and you feel good about the schools, then I feel like you could get at least one acceptance based on 5 II. have you already interviewed at all 5 or how many are left? because that plays a factor as well...
 
I have 2 ii in January and one in the beginning of February. I'm just being paranoid because I don't have an acceptance. I'm in Tcoms smp and I just interviewed there, my interview went ok I thought but idk. My gpa in this program is decent. The problem is that I won't know for awhile if I have an acceptance from Tcom because they wait awhile to hand out acceptances to med scis. I just feel like it is late but I've been told by schools that they weren't handing out any interviews but then I received one.

At this point in time I think you'd end up merely interviewing for a spot on a wait list. Better to work on your interview skills.
