<p>I saw on another thread that applying early is the key. when do you consider early? sophomore? junior?</p>
<p>early means late June/early July rather than August/Sept/Oct</p>
<p>By "early" I think they mean sending in your application as soon as medical schools start accepting them (Think it's July, but not entirely sure). I'm pretty sure this is because most, if not all, medical schools have rolling admissions. At the beginning, they have lots of spots and less applicants. As they find applicants that fit their criteria, they will accept them. If you wait until say September, there will be less spots avaliable, but still lots of applicants.</p>
