Hey guys! I have done my research my I still have couple questions.
1. What does it mean by the application opens on june 1st? Is that when we can start filling in all the information? or is that when we can submit it?
2. How long is a personal statement supposed to be?
3. When do you think I should get my LORs in by? And Can I fill the LOR section of my application in right now or when it opens?

From now on I think this should be a standard reply for many questions.

In case you don't have time to read the link, here are some answers for you 🙂

1. It means that's when you can start filling out info; I suggest you look up the older application and write down what you want to fill out there ahead of time if you wanna be ahead of the game
2. There's a character limit, I just checked and mine was ~4000 characters, I think the limit might have been 4500.
3. Get your LORs in as soon as possible, as in my personal experience they can take FOREVER to complete. One SDNer couldn't apply this cycle because his LOR wasn't completed in time. Use Interfolio to get your letters ready to send ahead of time. Interfolio also backs up your letters incase you want to send them somewhere else in the future, it's SUPER helpful and has saved me twice already this application cycle.

Thank you so much! I would like to see what's on the application. Do you have an idea of where I could find it?
Also, is interfolio the only option? Am I allowed to read the LOR?

1. Not 100% sure, but last time I just did some light googling and found it
2. Interfolio is the second option; the first would be to wait until AADSAS opens and then request LORs. Interfolio is the only other one that I know works with AADSAS. You can read the LOR, but I think all applicants are expected to waive their rights to read it, to make sure the letter writer doesn't feel any pressure and all that!
