Yes you can project hours you haven’t done yet that you plan to complete before matriculation. The way it works is that you put an end date that is later that’s how they know some of it is projected. For example when I applied this cycle, I could list end dates as far out as July or Aug of 2018.
Also, this may just be me but with anything I projected, I took how many hours I thought I would do in the next year and cut it, usually by about half, because things come up or you’re out traveling for interviews or you get a new gap year job which affects your availability for other things, or you move for med school earlier than you think you will or whatever form of “life happens” comes to pass. It seemed safer to low ball any projected hours than to be insincere or have to explain myself later.
Ah okay, thanks for the clarification
