Summary of Application Experience
Turned in my Primary August 2007 Took my MCAT September 2007 Pretty much all secondaries postmarked or turned in online within 3 days of deadline.
My advice.... Apply early.
Also, take a look at that AMSAR. I never knew about it until AFTER I did my primary application and wasted $ on schools that accept only in state applicants.
