When's the latest you can submit secondaries without being at even the slightest disadvantage

Members don't see this ad.

I will be out of the country for pretty much the entire month of July and will have very limited internet access. Will this put me at a severe disadvantage, submitting secondaries after I come back?

One option I have is to prewrite them all in two weeks and have someone I trust submit them for me. Or I can submit once I come back.

Any advice?

I believe end of August is the recommended completion date if you ignore SDN extreme neuroticism.

LizzyM's Holiday Rules for AMCAS Timeline: the earlier your application is complete, the better you will be (but do NOT submit haphazardly just to be early)

1. Independence Day (4th of July): complete your AMCAS application

2. Labor Day (first Monday in September): have your letters in (including committee letters) and finish your secondaries; your overall application should be complete by now

In this day of internet everywhere that is not as important as it used to be

Sorry can you just clarify that last part?
