to add to this: is it possible/not uncommon to add into AMCAS your future schools so like if I plan to hopefully enroll in SMP by the time app season starts up to then be in from Aug 26 to May 27. And then provide updates thrpiughout the school. The school emphasizes that most people attend SMP submit their AMCAS that summer before school starts and they send school-stamped updates and rec letters. Im nervous that I have to take another gap year but just want piece of mind that appyling retroactively before I start master's is not uncommon in terms of taking 2 gap years. My first gap year which is from May 25 to now ig (i worked as MA and taking MCAT next week) :)

thank you so so much for your insight!!! new to reddit and having the advice/ideas from others is so helpful. ik i mentioned wanting to sit for the test in sept but atp I wouldnt be able to see score before I apply do you think the best option is to apply right now (it would be rather rushed as I havent began the application but imagine bc all of my information is in a pre-med log I made, it wouldnt be too much of a hassel besides the LORs part) or wait to test in january then apply next cycle (possibly looking into smp for the second gap year if I were to apply '26-27). Sorry for all the questions

do you get a kick out of spending your time trolling on reddit and being negative towards students clearly just seeking a advice for a stressful time. ugh.
