I'm posting this for my boyfriend who is not a member but plans to attend medical school. So, the published deadline for hismed school apps are Novemberish or something (not the early decision of Aug 1of AMCAS)
My SO was told that unless you apply in June or July there is basically no point and you won't get in, because by that time medical schools basically have all their interwiews set up and know who they want. I.e., the deadline is bull crap.
I read a couple other things on this forum that seemed to imply this too, but wanted to hear it straight from the horse's mouth, if you will.
He signed up for MCATS in October and planned to submit around that time. Is this true that an October application is basically worthless because schools already know who they want, have interviews slots set up,etc? I apologize if this is a silly question, I'm a senior clinic student hand don't know how this works and he'd been in PhD land all year.
