Too late to submit additional secondaries?

Out of the 17 secondaries that I've received, I've only submitted 8. Should I bother submitting more this week or would it be considered too late for most schools? I was thinking submitting to PCOM-GA and SOMA in particular. Thanks!

If it'll help, my stats are cgpa 3.64 sgpa 3.60 nonsci 3.72 MCAT 25 (8/7/10).

I think it's worth it!

I have the same exact stats. I submitted two more a little over a week ago to touro-nevada and ACOM. I don't think it's too late, do you have your DO letter of recommendation?

no it's not too late for DO cycle

Yep, it's a little less than a year old, shadowed an osteo family doc.

Okay, well youv'e got to figure that probably a quarter-half of the people applying don't have their DO LOR yet. I just got mine like three weeks ago and I know at least ten people from my University, who are applying to DO schools, that don't have their LORs yet.

Due to AACOMAS verification time this year, I know that many many people have just recently been verified and are just now beginning to fill out their secondaries, so you are absolutely fine in adding some on now. We are just now beginning to push into mid-cycle, so you're still relatively early! Good Luck!

Would it look bad that I turned in those secondaries a month after I received them?

it can't look worse than not applying.

if you have the money and think you need more breadth in your school list, then fill them out.

No, it's not too late. Likewise they won't judge you regarding how long it took you to submit or etc. They recognize not everyone has the cash to apply the moment they send you a secondary.

Do it. I submitted mine in February last year and got accepted, so it is worth a shot

Submit it and you should be fine. With those stats you shouldn't have a problem being accepted.

I'd also submit to VCOM, LMU, and Campbell if you haven't already.
