<p>^From my understanding of process, it is crucial to apply as early in cycle as possible. I realized thru reading some posts that some applicants had timing problem because their pre-med committee was not as timely as they should be. I do not know the reason, since all UGs are very interested in placing their pre-meds to Med. Schools. My D. had vey positive experience, including close relationship with her pre-med advisor. She never hesitated to ask any questions and has received good advice, including acceptance to one school that advisor strongly recommend. Committe is also writing rec. letter, as far as I know. Maybe an applicant can explain better. This is from a parent prospective.</p>
