Summary of Application Experience
You don't HAVE to apply on June 4th to be ok......submitting your AMCAS in July or August is fine....submitting your secondaries in September and October can still be OK! Don't get discouraged or scared by people who tell you otherwise. That being said, be as early as you can, but don't get scared if you're not. I applied to 18 schools but withdrew from more than half after getting into the University of Michigan on midnight 10/15. That was cool. Actually after the interview I basically put off all those secondaries until I knew my Michigan decision, and now, I don't have to do em! My one piece of advice: do what makes you happy, not what you think others want you to do. It'll make your life better. Good luck to everyone in this application cycle! Maryland we're all behind you, Raise high the black and gold. For there is nothing half so glorious, As to see our team victorious. We've got the steam boys, We've got the team boys, So keep on fighting, don't give in! M-A-R-Y-L-A-N-D Maryland will win!
