MD Worried AA female 510 3.8c 3.7s

Hey guys I applied kind of late submitted primary Aug 15, and am still working on secondaries most from sept 21-23. I have one II from one of my top choices and I was wondering if I should complete my remaining secondaries, add more programs, or just wait. I don’t have FAP so every secondary I complete is out of pocket. I’m worried that I’m too late in the cycle and my app is probably buried. Any advice is extremely appreciated.

Yes, submit the secondaries to the schools you have not submitted them to, You could omit South Carolina, Loma Linda and UConn (unless you have strong ties to the state).

Thank you for your reply. I was wondering if it was too late because I’ve had the secondaries for close to a month now, I made the mistake of not sufficiently pre-writing. I did submit my in state school and top programs within 9 days though and received 1 II

It is not too late for secondaries.
