    Allopathic Schools
    I don't have the exact dates, but they were similar to the AACOMAS application timeline because I submitted them both around the same time. I initially just applied to schools in the northeast due to the distance from where I live, but at a later date added UVA and East Tennessee because I had decided that I wanted to practice rural family medicine in the south.
