I'm applying to some research track residencies and have a couple of questions. Some of the websites say to contact a coordinator in the department if we are going to be applying. Should I wait until after Sept 15 when applications go out to email them or should I do it earlier? I think some of them have supplementary applications that I could work on now rather than later.
Secondly, is it ok to contact faculty at places to inquire about spots in their lab, research interests, etc before we have an interview invite? There are a handful of investigators that I am particularly interested in at different institutions and would want to work with during the research portion of residency, but I don't want to be presumptuous before I've even been considered for residency.
