For anyone who may be interested in the dates/ deadlines of RPI and Union B.S., M.D. programs. My D had applied to both RPI/ AMC and Union/AMC programs last year. She turned in Union supplement just 2 minutes before the deadline due to conflicting emotions about applying to 2 programs, although her resume was strong in research and leadership. Well, eventually she did submit both supplements and was accepted to both programs. This was despite the fact that she withdrew from Union/ LIM after she had decided to accept a position at another school (based on her academic, personal and financial needs). D thought she would do justice by freeing up a spot for other anxiously waiting students. But, it didn’t help because she still received a final acceptance from Union/ LIM on April 5th.
We have the dates complied of her journey through RPI/ AMC and Union/ AMC. Look through if any of you need some help to ease off your stress during your waiting period:
