APPLICATION TIMELINE

(for those applying to medical and dental schools)



The application process for medical or dental school consists of a great deal more than completing an on-line form.  Because you are proposing to enter a profession intimately concerned with people's lives and well-being, you should expect to prepare carefully to assume the responsibility this entails. The Application Checklist provides a four-year guideline you can use to assist you in your preparation.  The timeline depicted here is a guide for the year in which you intend to apply.

Ultimately, you have the responsibility for obtaining information and ensuring timely submission of all materials.  Become familiar with the TMDSAS, AADSAS, AMCAS and AACOMAS webpages. Check the websites of those schools to which you intend to apply.  Read all directions carefully!

The process of applying to medical or dental school does not end with submission of an application.  It doesn't even end with the interview.  Pay attention to deadlines for ranking your choice (TMDSAS only).  If required, submit fall transcripts.  File financial aid forms.  Submit spring transcripts if required.

For information on testing check the Application Services and Testing page in this website.
