Quick Application Question

As I applied late last time, I never really looked into this. What materials should I have gathered / sent by the time June 02 rolls around? Do I wait until the application cycle opens before I send in transcripts (since I know it takes 1-2 weeks for them to receive / confirm grades)? I have all my letters ready and waiting in interfolio so I'm good in that regard. I also have my PS written (Curious - I got accepted last cycle but chose not to attend should I have still re-rewritten my PS despite success with the other?). Thanks in advance for those who comment!

I would also like to know as well; I have a good 2-3 weeks of free time until stating summer school in June and would like to get as much done as possible before application opens up.

Anyone have any idea?

There's nothing you can do as far as sending letters until the application opens but having them saved in interfolio already is great, you just need to wait for the application to open and send them to AADSAS from interfolio(details in the link)

Mind expanding on this?

You can check my post history but, TL;DR I'm an AZ resident didn't get WICHE funding so I have to pay OOS tuition. Dentistry is not worth 500k debt (1.2 million dollars over a standard loan). So I'm going to reapply with HPSP / Wiche funding and see what happens.

This is the exact reason why I simply will not apply to those schools, because if I do get in and don't get into cheaper schools it could raise a red flag and I would never go.

Well, in my case, I have no real choice. Every school is OOS to me unless I get wiche funding which enables me to get IS tuition.

I guess this is true but not every OOS school is 500k+.

Oh I see, that's unfortunate, but honestly probably a smart move. Good luck this cycle! It seems like you've got most of the preparation steps out of the way.
