Since there is less than a month left for the application to open up, what is everyone doing to prepare?

I am a TX resident so I am about to submit my TMDSAS but as for AADSAS. I will be proofreading my essays and activity descriptions multiple times over because a lot of times if you read it too fast your brain will automatically correct things in your head and you wont see spelling mistakes.

Make sure you guys submit transcripts EARLLLYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! AS SOON AS YOU CAN GET THE REQUEST FORMS! otherwise it may take longer for them to process.

Remind your letter writers to submit letter if they have not done so already. Don't let that become a headache for you.

You are right! Good luck! Can we still send the LORs after we submit the application?

How do we submit transcripts? This is all so new to me.

When the application opens up there will be a place on the site to download a form something along the lines of "transcript request form". Fill out this form and take it to your school (or schools if you have gone to more than one) and tell them to send a transcript to AADSAS on your behalf. The form itself will have their information/address and your school should take care of the rest. Do this early because when a lot of people try sending their transcripts it will take longer to process and delay your application.

Is there a way to send the form to the schools online? Because I will be somewhere else in the summer and I don't want to drive back to my school just to give them the form.

Sometimes they will let you if you send an email with a copy of your ID such as drivers license. I know this because one time I had this done at a school and when I tried to do it again they said they would not do it unless I physically came there so maybe it depends on who responds to you.

Are you going to have your LOR submit via the AADAS site or are using Interfolio? (I've heard of Interfolio but not 100% sure what it does for you)

I am using a committee letter through my school where I send all my letters to my "health professions committee advisor" at the university I graduated from and he uploads them to AADSAS/TMDSAS with his "committee letter". Interfolio is however a good option I have heard because you can reuse letters which isnt the greatest idea but in a pinch if you find yourself without a letter and are reapplying it might be better than nothing but dont quote me on that. Still better than having your writers send them directly to the sites imo because then you lose access forever.

If some one wants to bud in and correct me I am sure I do not know everything that needs to be known about Interfolio because I have never used it personally.
