Hi folks!
I will be out of the country for an AWESOME service trip to Central America this summer at the middle of July to the beginning of August (7-15 to 8-10). I know this is strikes during the heart of application season, and some of those "crazy" premeds here on SDN are freaking me out. BTW I am a TX resident.
May
Submit TMDSAS by end of month (or very early June)
Prewrite secondaries (based on previous prompts) for TX schools and a few OOS schools
June
Submit AMCAS by middle of month
Submit TMDSAS secondaries if possible
Prewrite secondaries for OOS schools
July
Finish all TMDSAS secondaries
Submit the AMCAS secondaries available early in the month
TRIP!!!
August
Complete rest of secondaries by end of month
What do you guys think of my proposed schedule? I'm not aiming to be one of those people to submit on the first day, but would still like to submit "early." Is finishing secondaries by August still considered early by regular (NOT SDN) standards?
My biggest concern is this "2-wk" rule that some people have talked about regarding secondaries. I will have little to no internet/computer access during my trip, so it is very possible that I will have secondaries sitting in my inbox for a few weeks.
