May 2008 vs. September 2008
Hi,
I am interested in applying to either the May 2008 semester or September 2008 semester. Are there any advantages to applying to May 2008 as opposed to September 2008(e.g. finishing the program earlier or getting a residency earlier). any advice will be greatly appreciated thanks

more time
Potentially, if you start in May of 2008 you'll have more time to study for step 1, and if for some reason you couldn't get back to back clinical rotations, you could still make 2012 match.

Hope it helps.
