Is there any advantage/disadvantage to applying earlier or later in the process?
There is no advantage in terms of your chances of being accepted. All applicants who submit their AMCAS application by November 1, 2009 will be considered for admission. No preference is given to any applicant based on their application date or interview date. However, our Recruitment and Admissions Committee reviews files in order of completion. Therefore, the earlier your application is complete with us, the earlier you will hear from us regarding your status. Admissions decisions are made on a “rolling” basis. Typically we will start to offer acceptances in late October. However, whether your interview is in late September or late March, the Recruitment and Admissions Committee will still complete the evaluation of your application in the same manner. Students interviewing at any time throughout the year may receive an offer of acceptance as their “initial decision”.
