When's the earliest and latest? I can apply during the average year??? Also, are the admissions rolling like MD shools?

Thanks a bunch!

Dont make the mistake I made....dont wait until October to submit your application...do it in June or July.

I initially wanted to apply in June or July but I kept on getting hung up on the personal statement and other application stuff like letter of rec. I would suggest for you to ask for letter of rec now, and start writing your personal statement. By the time May comes around, you will only have a few things to finish and summit in June and be within the first hundred. But if you have excellent stats, then you will have more time to procrastinate.

Don't even think about applying on the lastest dates. No reason for that, and every school has different deadlines. Most are around Jan to Feb or even March, but at that time, you have to be a superstar to get excepted.

Apply as early as you can get all your stuff together. I also waited until october and it sucks seeing all these people being accepted when I haven't even interviewed yet. Just set a deadline for yourself July/August and stick to it.

Exactly my sentiment. Good luck iudentist04 and Rexdawg.

I agree. I sent mine in on Oct. 6. My first interview is on Dec. 8th. I will probably be one of the last SDNers to find out if I got in anywhere.

Good luck to all of you.
