My primary applicaiton is being submitted late

Present tense? submit it before the calendar turns to September when you will be late. Can I ask why you are late? Why are you waiting? As Predental club president your should know better.

What is your journey to dentistry? Your chances in-state are very high, so why wait? How much employment are you declaring in your application?

Have you networked with SNDA before applying? Networking will help you with confidence in applying.

What is your mission fit?

I submitted my application 07/28/23. In general, I waited because I needed a break after finishing a stressful semester (that ended May 30), and then went abroad for a research project (not in application). My employment declared is around ~450 hours. I have not networked with SNDA, and I'm unsure what you mean by mission fit.

I think you will do great this cycle. Not even truly late. Good luck 👍
