Deadlines

Start with the money, not the essays. There are no federal loans at The Valley COM until after the first class graduates, so you'd be financing a first-year budget of $100,231 privately, likely with a cosigner, and proving that funding before you can enroll. If that plan doesn't exist yet, build it before you apply.
No secondary means your AACOMAS file carries everything to the interview invitation. The vision statement is about the underserved areas of Arizona. If you have Arizona roots, work or service, make them easy to find in your experiences and personal statement.
The interview is an in-person MMI in Phoenix, and it's mandatory. Budget the trip. MMI stations reward clear thinking out loud more than rehearsed stories, so practice talking through a problem in a few minutes.
A new school has no board scores or match list to judge it by, and its own outcomes page gives goals. Ask about third-year rotation sites and the accreditation timeline on interview day. You're entitled to those answers before you put down $4,000 in non-refundable deposits.
