Acceptance

Acceptances will begin being offered on a rolling basis starting in mid-November. Accepted applicants will be notified via email and expected to respond within a designated time frame. Interviewed applicants who do not received an acceptance are placed on hold and will remain under consideration until otherwise notified.

Deferred Admission

It is possible, under special circumstances, for an applicant who is offered a position in the freshman class of the College of Medicine to request a deferral of the start of their medical studies for one or two years. A written request which describes the reason for the deferral should be received by the Office of Admissions no later than June 1. Approval of a request to defer will be based on the perceived validity of the reasons set forth by the student. Deferred applicants may not seek nor accept admission at any other school for the deferred entering class year.
