Certainly the test dates in April and May will continue to be the more popular dates because they allow your AMCAS/ACOMAS application to be in the earlier completion dates. <BR/><BR/>The later dates, just like the August exam, will place put your application with the later applications which, may not be good if you need the small advantage that an early application gives. <BR/><BR/>In general, earlier is better than later as long as you are under the deadlines for the schools that you are applying to. If you are a competitive applicant (well above the averages for matriculants) then early or late, you are not at a significant disadvantage because medical schools will begin waitlisting marginal applicants until their deadlines in hopes that they can snag competitive but late applicants.Drnjbmdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17642595227255126724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752713662879612047.post-85607757664035204602007-02-10T15:26:00.000-05:002007-02-10T15:26:00.000-05:00Since there are now 22 times the test is available...Since there are now 22 times the test is available, which is the 'optimal' time to take the exam for apps.?
