What do you mean he won’t have time to apply? And also, as long as he takes the DAT before the middle of August he should be fine, of course the earlier the better.
Shadowing hours will be difficult to get for another couple of months, but not impossible. Just curious, why has he waited this long to start shadowing? I started the spring of my sophomore year and some interviewers thought that was actually a bit late, so his dedication to the career may be put into question. Just from that, you may be right and he may want to hold off for another year and get north of 100 hours, that would put to bay any questions the adcomms would have about whether he knows what he's getting himself into or not. Now as for the application process, it isn't too time consuming or hard to maneuver if he starts in May and spreads it out over a couple days/weeks, just make sure those apps are in within the first few days of submissions opening.
No ECs? He hasn’t been involved in anything all four years?
your "friend" should take responsibility for his/her situation and do their own research and spend the time to actually learn the necessary items for a solid application...
Firstly, this person should just make an account on here and ask themselves. If he is not even able to investigate whether to even apply or not, I seriously doubt he is ready to apply.
agreed.
No he doesn't either
