timeline

Hello, and please excuse me for this slightly silly post. I didn't want to clutter the main 2016-17 app thread. I realize that it is still only June, and that AMCAS opened for submission later this year on the 7th, but I was just wondering if my finally being ready to submit my app now would...

I just submitted my AMCAS application. When should I expect to hear back from medical schools regarding secondary applications? Also, when should I expect to hear back after submitting secondary applications for interviews? When should I expect to hear back after interviews whether or not I got in?

I asked my PI from last summer if he could write me a letter of recommendation for medical school, but I recently decided that I want to apply next cycle instead of this summer. Is it possible for me to hold onto that letter for next year OR for him to upload it onto TMDAS to be considered for...

Like a lot of you out there, I'm kind of in a bind. Any advice or input would be much appreciated! As it stands currently, I am holding 4 waitlists from the 2015-2016 cycle (1 high priority, 1 middle tier, 2 unspecified). I had originally thought that my chances were relatively good (3.75 GPA...

I am applying for this upcoming cycle and was wondering if any people who have already applied could shed light on the timeline for me. I saw AMCAS is releasing their primary app May 3rd and you can submit it starting June 7th. Then, AMCAS won't send it out to schools (granted that they've...

Hello again everyone! I am new to applying for med school and am a bit confused about how the application timeline works and was hoping someone could explain it to me. I saw that the AACOMAS application for the 2016 cycle opened on May 2015 and then each school has a different deadline...

So as a Canadian student, we have our DAT at certain times, either in November or February. Im planning on taking it this November, should I try and apply during this coming year following the DAT (I'll be in my third year with about a 3.2/3.3 GPA) or will I be a bit late, I know some schools...

So.. quick question. I am a Junior in college currently going abroad Fall 2016-Spring 2017 (a whole academic year). Being abroad it will be simply hard to apply to dental school that June 2017. Therefore, I plan on applying June 2018 (Once I graduate college). My questions is.. Since, I am...

Hey, Im finishing up my medical studies in Romania and will receive my medical degree this September (about 15th), with a Canadian citizenship. Upon beginning to do some research into Ireland, i found out that the deadline for handing in applications for internship/residency is June-July...

I'm sure this question has been asked in some variation, although I'm looking for specifics. I'm for all intents and purposes a junior and came to my college specifically to do a biomedical science program as all of the classes are pretty literally the list of pre-reqs for med school, which I...

Currently choosing between two programs, one of which starts immediately (during my last spring semester in undergrad actually), and the other leaves a 7-month gap time, starting the following January. Just wondering what kind of jobs students get or what people may do in waiting out an awkward...

Hi all, I am about to start the second semester of my sophomore year at an Ivy. I have just decided that I want to go the premed route. I have a 4.0 GPA but have not taken any of the required prerequisite courses. I also have not done any volunteering nor research. Is it still possible for me...

I have heard different things about the best time to take Step 2. Some say that choosing your Step 2 test date depends on your Step 1 score competitiveness and the general strength of your application. If you have a strong application, then it is best to wait because Step 2 can only stand to...
