I am a non-trad coming from a career as a data scientist. I was wondering if I could ask some questions and receive your guidance.

Welcome to the forums.

SMP's don't "expire." Your master's is still going to be good. Go back to the faculty at your program and gauge their support for your future application. Get feedback on your activities since graduating, or whether they support you through a committee letter process.

It's too bad you didn't ask the experts here for advice on including so many activities that are over 5 years old. Yes, we want to see what you have done lately, especially in the intervening years since you finished your SMP.

TMDSAS doesn't keep track of AMCAS, as far as I know. I wouldn't know why they would. Do some networking.

Thanks for responding. Frankly, this website makes me feel worse and less competent, same with Reddit, so I avoided it to have less impostor syndrome.

TMDSAS asks for all the schools one applied to. So I will have to list all my schools I applied to on TMDSAS from AMCAS, which is why I asked if applying to so many AMCAS schools would cause a negative perception.

Fortunately I have signed up for a bunch of other volunteering initiatives and have no more studying to do for the time being.
