Application Deadlines

2025-26 Application Cycle Timeline

Applicants are required to submit their application through the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS), AAMC’s centralized medical school application processing service. Applications for admission and instructions for the application process are available on the AAMC website.

AMCAS Important Dates

  • May 31, 2025: Primary Application Submission begins
  • June 30, 2025: Data Transmission to medical schools
