I understand that the applicant pool is very large, but there should be a more structured way to manage the admissions process. In residency applications, interview invitations are typically released on the same day. While that exact model may not be feasible for medical school admissions, more schools could adopt predictable release schedules, such as UMichMedMondays, so applicants only anticipate updates from specific schools on designated days rather than remaining in a constant state of uncertainty.
