Is there a list that tells which schools have rolling and non-rolling admissions? It might help in planning when to complete secondaries..

The best and most authoritative source of information is the MSAR. You might as well spend the $25 now, because you're going to be referring to it often in the coming months.

As a general rule, though, the vast majority of med schools have rolling admissions. The non-rolling schools tend to be the most elite institutions, like Harvard, Yale, Cornell, etc. And even with those schools, INTERVIEWS are granted on a rolling basis, so the earlier you apply, the better.

I think most of the critical information is relatively stable; you should be fine with the 09-10 version (I'm not applying until Fall 2010 and I'm using that version)

Just be aware that 3 new med schools opened in 2009 (2 in FL, 1 in PA), and one or two others are slated to open in 2010. If you're interested in applying to any of those schools, it would definitely be worth having the latest MSAR.

Not to mention that schools' requirements, deadlines and personnel do change from time to time. Wouldn't it be worth laying out $25 to save yourself from missing a deadline, finding out there's a biochem requirement that makes you ineligible, or sending an LOI to the wrong dean of admissions?

C'mon guys, this med school app process can easily run you $5K--25 bucks is peanuts in the grand scheme of things. If you want to save some $, get together with a couple of friends/roommates and share the cost of one MSAR among you.
