When is your application deadline?
The AMCAS application deadline for the Fall 2024 application cycle is October 15, 2023 and the secondary application deadline is December 1, 2023. Earlier submissions are encouraged to allow time for full consideration of your application.
I submitted my application several weeks ago, but I have not received a confirmation email or a secondary application. Does this mean that I am no longer being considered?
Not necessarily. The School of Medicine Office of Admissions does not send confirmation emails when they receive the AMCAS applications. All applications must go through a screening process before a decision is made to grant secondary applications. It may take between 8-12 weeks before you will hear back from the School of Medicine.
