So I thought we should get this 2010 cycle thread rolling... hope I am not stepping on anyone's feet in doing so. Anyways...
After working on my application materials since January, taking the March 28th MCAT, collecting all my LORs by May 5th... I am happy to say I have submitted all but one of my primaries...
June 2 - Submitted AACOMAS Primary Application for VCOM
June 3 - Submitted AMCAS Primary Application for UVa, Va Commonwealth, and EVa.
Waiting for Virginia Tech's new Medical School to show up on AMCAS... that will be my last primary.
Top Choices - VTCSOM and VCOM
Reason I am applying so early - I set my goal to apply by June 5th. I wanted it in early... even though most of the schools I am applying to will not see my app until after June 24th, there really wasn't anything else I could do with my application. Figured I would submit and continue working on common secondary app essays.
Reason I am applying to so few schools - not very mobile... my wife is a tenure track Professor at a local university and neither of us want to leave the area (Roanoke is amazing!!!). It sucks that location has become a primary reason for application decisions, but fortunately I am surrounded by a very diverse group of schools.
