    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.
