Hello Everyone,
As the 2023-24 application cycle opens today, and everyone is hustling to push in their application EARLY, there are a some things which I wanted to highlight.
1. EARLY application is important and definitely increases your chances of interview invites, but NOT at the cost of the ‘Quality’ of your application.
2. The QUALITY of your written Caapid application which also includes the supporting documents like SOP, LORs and supplemental questions is much more important than sending out an under prepared application. Their is no excuse for ill-prepared application and it will not help you even if you apply super early.
3. March month is considered ’EARLY’ and even Mid-April is great, so take your time and make sure to revise what you write in all the CAAPID application columns before you click send.
Another important aspect is understanding your profile and finding programs which suit your profile the best. DO NOT blindly apply to every school, just for the sake of it, as it is pure wastage of your money and efforts.
Carefully Pick and choose the programs based on your overall clinical+non-clinical experience, academic/GPA, Test scores (Toefl,Inbde,Adat) and Visa status to find out the best suited schools which will increase your chances or getting an invite.
One last thing, utilize the tools in CAAPID portal like Help, Live Chat and Calling when in doubt or unsure about what to write in that particular column, as things change every year so it’s best to get the information from the most relevant source.
So all the best to everyone applying this year, it can seem like and endless journey but their is light at the end of the tunnel. So follow your instincts and have faith in your hardwork, you will succeed!!
