is it too late to apply for US med schools

Thanks SO much! I was just freaking out for a second!

for all of those worried, i think this comment is a bit of a generalization. it really depends on the applicant/school. i had a few interviews in the states and i was complete very late (early dec)..submitted my primary october 16th (once i got my mcat scores)..but was accepted/waitlisted (but withdrew) from some US schools.

 

would i have applied earlier if i had to do it again? absolutely. it is getting late, but its definitely not over in august. just get on those secondaries right away...then you can focus on all your canadian apps. i did it the other way aroudn (focused on canada, and then US...since it was my back up). applying early not only would have helped my application, it also reduces the stress/anxiety, esp if you get an acceptance earlier than may 15th!

 

My one friend just managed to get in all of his secondaries by the deadlines and still got three interviews and one acceptance
