    Early Apply & Unreliable Application

    Hi All (looking for actually advise/experience, not a list), I am currently in a one-year, 37-credit SMP at a new DO school (3rd cycle coming up) in Texas. I had moved to the area due to a military partner and was hoping to pursue medical education again after 3 years out of school. I found...

    Early Application+Individual LORs or Late Application+Committee Letter?

    Hey people, so I’m kind of in a predicament here and was looking for some thoughts and opinions. I’m currently filling out the AADSAS application and wanted to have it finished by June 5 to submit it as soon as it opens up. However, I’m realizing this won’t happen if I want to get a committee...

    Submit application

    Hi: I have nearly finished with all of the application. But I have not let anyone check my supplement short essay (within 1000 or 500 characters) yet. Today is June 30th. Should I submit them now or just wait until July 3rd(when the on-campus writing center open)? Is it too late? By the way...

    Apply now vs. wait for one last post-bac grade

    Hi all, Should I apply now without this last grade (with an sGPA of 3.36) to make sure I'm on the early side, but exclude this final grade from my sGPA? Or, should I wait it out and hope I get my new transcript processed by the end of June and submit by 6/30? Any advice is sincerely appreciated!

    DO Does 3 weeks make a difference when applying?

    I'm thinking about holding off on submitting my application until June 1st when I get my final transcript. This means DO schools would get my application about 3 weeks later than I originally planned. If they get my application by July 10th-ish, is this still considered early? Or am I better off...

    Should I take the MCAT earlier and apply earlier or take a little extra time to study?

    I'm deciding between June 1st and June 16th for my test date. I graduate in late April, so I'll have about 4 weeks to study full-time if I choose June 1st and 6 weeks to study if I choose June 16th. I realize that it takes about a month for med schools to receive MCAT scores, and they won't...

    General Admissions & OTCAS How long does it take to get verified?

    Hello! I just e-submitted my application on OTCAS yesterday and was just wondering if anyone knows typically how long it takes to get verified. Also, being that I submitted fairly early for this cycle, does it make a difference? I applied to USC's early decision and was wondering if anyone knew...

I wanted to know if anyone would be willing to share a PDF, Word, or any other version of it with me.
