Does anyone know if "Travel Study" is the same thing as "Study Abroad"? For the purpose of applying, of course. There's a subtle difference but I don't know if it's really all that important:

Travel Study: Studying abroad with professors specifically from your college. Basically, the class is one giant field trip.
Study Abroad: Studying abroad at another institute in that country.

Help me -__-

Who are examples of "premedical advisor/committee?"
If I don't have a letter from one of them but a school requires it, is it an absolute necessity?
Thanks

I didn't have one. I think last cycle only the PCOMs required either a committe/premed advisor letter or a letter from your undergrad department chair. The rest may recommend a committee letter but will take other letters instead, if necessary.

I'm taking my mcat may 30th, if i submit using only 1 school to verify would my app for the other schools get pushed significantly back? Is it worth just submitting to all the schools i want to apply to in order to have it be one of the 1st looked at even if the score isn't as high as I want it to be?
