Drexel and Jefferson aren't bad

On the DO side, LECOM E and LECOM B are basically a checklist

I always chuckle on the inside whenever a premed asks for the easier route. #wrongcareerfield

May be essay fatigue?

Personally, I'm a little more cynical with some SDNers.

Or "I'm not getting any invites. I'd better add some schools quickly."

SLU and Einstein also have short secondaries.

Nothing for nothing. It's definitely a double edged sword. You're not the only one either suffering from essay fatigue or just wanting an easier route.

I naively thought that nobody would spend the money to submit a primary and then fail to submit a secondary a few short weeks later. I was set straight by the SDN community, and was shocked to learn that the attrition rate was over 20% at some schools. What you are experiencing, plus secondary fees, are apparently the main reasons why.

Bottom line -- you accomplish nothing with this question, because you will find more competition at the schools that make it easier to apply. Is that really what you are looking for?

If it's all an odds game, it doesn't hurt to at least look around to add a few quick hitters to an application full of longer or more involved ones. If you're a competitive applicants, you might just scoop up an extra II that you might have not had.
