  • Medical School Application Deadline Update April – June 2026

    Medical School Application Deadline Update April – June 2026

    Staying on top of medical school application deadlines is essential for a successful application process. Most medical schools operate on a rolling admissions basis, meaning they review applications and fill seats as they receive complete applications. Submitting your application early—ideally in June—greatly increases your chances of securing interview invitations, since more spots are available at the start of the cycle. Late submissions, on the other hand, may leave you competing for the limited remaining interview slots. Applying early also helps reduce stress, provides ample time to complete secondary applications, and helps you avoid the pitfalls of rushed or low-quality submissions.

    Our clients are constantly advised of deadlines, and we develop medical school admissions strategies around each deadline via continual Zoom sessions with each client.

    Medical School Application Personal Statement

    April/May 2026

    • If you have not yet taken the MCAT, or if you need to retake it, this is the time to prepare and sit for the exam. Aim to take the MCAT in the spring, and no later than the end of June. This ensures that your scores are available to medical schools early in the cycle.
    • Continue working on your primary application materials. This includes refining your personal statement and crafting descriptions for your extracurricular      activities.
    • The AMCAS application will become available online on May 5. While you can begin filling out your application at this time, you cannot submit it until May 28.
    • For those applying to Texas medical schools, the TMDSAS application opens on May 1 and can be submitted starting May 15.
    • The AACOMAS application for osteopathic medical schools opens for submission in early May. Some D.O. schools include their supplemental application questions within the AACOMAS “Program Materials” tab, while others will send supplemental questions after the initial application is submitted.
    • Arrange for official transcripts to be sent directly from every college or university you have attended to the application service(s) you are using.
    • Plan to take the Casper and/or PREview situational judgment tests in April or May if your schedule allows. If not, be sure to complete these exams by the end of June so that your results reach schools early in the cycle.

    June 2026

    • If you still need to take or retake the MCAT, do so this month.
    • Complete the Casper and/or PREview tests if you have not already done so.
    • June 26: AMCAS begins transmitting verified applications to medical schools.  Shortly after this date, you will start receiving supplemental (secondary) applications. Be sure to return these to the schools within one to two weeks of receipt to stay on track in the application process.
