What all does one need to do when application opens up tomorrow?

Honestly, nothing if you don't want to. The application opening means that you can start putting in your personal information, filling out your activities section and PS, but you can't submit until june 1? (uncertain). Would recommend slowly filling stuff out instead of waiting until a few days before you want to submit so you have time to proofread and re-write parts that could be better.

I plan to fill it all out in total tomorrow evening (I have it all prewritten) and then spend the next month reviewing the whole thing once a week for typos/little tweaks to wording and formatting etc.

IMO, OP, you should be focusing on your MCAT

Read the directions.

FWIW, the first day you are able to submit the application is May 30th.

Strongly suggest getting a one month subscription to grammarly. It can work on any text box so you can use it within the AMCAS platform!

Don’t know if you’re being sarcastic but I will accept the compliment 🙂

I am pretty sure sarcasm is against the SDN TOS.

Nothing if you don't have the best possible app.

Also suggest actually looking at med school admissions websites, and AMCAS' as well

To add to this, I am often astounded that the many of these high achieving premeds
—barely glance at each school’s website, much less research it in detail
—do not download the free amcas applicant guide.
—Never avail themselves to the many items on AMCAS tools and tutorials page
—never read any of the detailed page on AMCAS of what medical are looking fo

Yup. It's amazing that there are people who spend thousands of hours in research, who know the ins and out of Pubmed like the back of their hand, but Gawd forbid they should actually look at a med school admissions website.

I am the opposite. Spend way too much time surfing SDN, AMCAS page/guides, MSAR, school websites...but just yesterday I had to have a librarian teach me what “Web of Science” is..:

I dated a librarian in college. She could read me like a book

That was clever. I'll have to add that one to my...catalog 😎
