I know that we can certify our applications on the 15th--does anyone know the exact time?

Thanks!

Dude, relax. Sept 15 is over the weekend, no one will be downloading applications over the weekend. You likely have until probably Sunday night to submit your application, and even then, many programs don't start reviewing until a while after apps are submitted.

According to aProgdirector, his administrator is going to.

It probably depends on the program.

I could not find mention of when his administrator will be downloading apps, however, it's over the weekend, and he certainly won't be reading them over the weekend. IVs usually don't even start until Oct. at the earliest, usually Nov and on. Some programs dont even start reviewing until x amount of apps have been downloaded. So I certainly would not worry too much about having them right on Sept. 15. Btw-why was the date changed? Wasn't it sept 1 last year? And why are MSPEs being released earlier?

I agree with you, but here is the quote if others are interested:

Not sure why the changes in dates this year.

Let's be clear -- I was poking some fun at my PA. There's really no reason for her to come in on the weekend and download applications. But she'll probably do it anyway.

Whether you apply on Sept 15th or Sept 30th or Oct 15th is not likely to matter for the vast majority of programs.

However, I love Star Wars references. 😀

That's what I figured. 🙂 I was thinking, why in the world would you have your staff come in on the weekend to print out stuff? I don't see you reading student's applications over your Saturday dinner. Also from my experience, depending on the specialty, there are some that extend IVs quite late-rad onc and derm come to mind-well into late Nov, Dec and even January!

So far, 4 programs have downladed my application.
