Ummm, well first I need to get my application in. And before that I need to finish my paper for the abroad class so that my transcript will be complete enough to hand in. So I anticipate the paper being done tonight, the grade being in by Tuesday, the transcript getting sent out Wendesday and application being sent in by mid to late next week, hopefully meaning the application will be complete by in two weeks time. Then I have to wait for secondaries. I don't know how long it takes to get those. And then intervews... I would be surprised if I had an interview scheduled before September.
It's really easy to get lazy and refuse to do them until a few days before they are due, which is apparently a bad thing. Get those letters of recommendation all sorted out immediately, as it is amazing how easy a lazy/busy professor can delay you.
Don't stew too much over the precise wording of your secondary essays - after my applications process, I'm convinced they just ignore them, and use the essays as an excuse to charge you $80 - $120 for the secondary. Granted, my advice may not be 100% accurate since you're applying osteopathic, and I applied allopathic, but I would imagine that the secondary processes are very similar.

thank you. but did you read the actual address? the hilarity was the purpose of the post.
Maybe you should write about how your trip to Wally World went terribly awry in your personal statement?
When do you expect to hear anything about interviews?

Try to get your secondaries in ASAP.
