Are you planning on submitting for this/current cycle?

@Engrailed : Yup! I applied pretty top-heavy so far but want to add a couple of other schools

IIRC, NYMC has a very short, 3 min secondary but they have their interview dates booked thru January already apparently..

SLU's is also pretty short, isn't it? Yeah, @Engrailed has a great point about NYMC's interviews. It might be too late for them, but who knows.

Yes..not to mention, they dont do automatic complete dates either. They take weeks to mark you complete. Im not even sure what my application status is at that school atm haha

Harvard asks about disadvantaged and that is it. Pretty straight forward, took me like....45 seconds.

Jefferson has one optional essay (anything else we should know)

I remember UCSF’s was very short, but they do still have a secondary

But they also have a very heavy pre-secondary screening process. I was verified 5/30 but didn't receive my UCSF secondary until 7/25.

Not necessarily demonstrative of anything. I was verified 6/4 and didn’t receive a secondary from even my state school until 8/15. I really don't think length of secondary receipt correlates strongly with degree of review.

You were verified on 5/30 but no application was transmitted to ANY school prior to 6/28 and unlikely looked at them at all until after the July 4th weekend or 7/8 at least, more likely a week or two later. You in fact may not have had much of a secondary screening process

@gonnif beat me to it....

Well, there are many people still waiting for secondaries from UCSF. Perhaps my n = 1 doesn’t give a full picture, but they receive ~7,500 applications and send ~2,500 secondaries and it takes a while after the primary is transmitted.

Im still waiting for my ucsf after sending my primary mid August. RIP.

Took almost 2 months post transmission for me, so it’s very possible you’ll still get one.

Yes I shall. In january perhaps. Haha

I’m thinking early October. Lol

Same for me but UCLA 3 months on. At this point, even if received probably won’t submit. I would recommend the same to you - with an otherwise successful cycle one more school late in the game won’t add much.

It can still come! I got mine not too long ago! I'm still waiting for Davis. I'm not too optimistic for that one, though.
