I applied to schools two weeks ago and I heard that AADSAS is sending applications to schools from June 1st. I also heard that i need to send application fees and other requireds stuff like photo and stuff to schools when i get my secondaries. I will be leaving the country and coming back on August. I am kind of worried that I will get secondaries before i come back to US. When do schools send secondaries to you? and when do i need to send application fees to them?
 
It depends entirely on the school. Some schools (mine did this) send you one as soon as they get your primary application, while others have a screening process before they hand back a secondary. I would call the schools and ask each one individually.
 
All the schools I applied to sent their secondaries around mid.-end of October. As I remember this, it was almost at the same time(UCLA, UCSF, Arizona,LLU)
Good luck 🙂

1st off, good job on finishing your app so early and sending it. your AADSAS # would be awesome i am sure.
now on the other hand, i don't like the fact that you won't be back till aug. depending on how many schools you have applied to, you could be getting a whole bunch of secondaries between now and aug. heck, i had already gotten an interview invite by aug. i sent my app on june 1st last yr and was getting secondaried by early july and interviewing in aug.

you could also check the thread below and it'll show you who was getting what and when.
