Each school sets its deadline for secondary essays. Some give you just two weeks, while others allow a month or more. Always check the specific deadline listed in your secondary application materials.
Even if you have more time, submitting your essays within two weeks is best. A quick turnaround shows you’re serious and well-prepared. Many students get ahead by researching secondary prompts and drafting responses before the applications even arrive.
Planning early gives you time to write thoughtful, polished essays—and makes the whole process far less stressful.
