At the University of Michigan Medical School, we make sure you know where you stand at every stage of our application process. This transparency leads to better communication and greater peace of mind. As always, the Office of Admissions welcomes you to contact us if you have any questions.
We encourage all applicants, including MSTP, to apply as early as possible due to our rolling interview notification process. DACA students are also encouraged to apply to our MD program.
You can begin your AMCAS primary application this month.
Be sure to check out our 2023-24 Secondary Application Essay prompts and note our new deadlines for both primary and secondary applications above.

Secondary applications are sent to candidates with an MCAT score at or above the 35th percentile. Those below the 35th percentile are screened for excellence within our competencies and may be sent a Secondary application after review.
Submit your Secondary Application as soon as possible after receiving it. There is an application fee of $85 due upon submission. That fee is waived for those approved for the AAMC-Fee Assistance Program.
See more information about our Secondaries on the Requirements page.
Once your Secondary Application is complete, you will be able to access your Applicant Portal. If at any time you want to submit updates to your application, please use the checklist on your Applicant Portal.
Please be assured you will be holistically considered on your academic and personal competencies. We thoroughly review each and every file, which can take several months. Please review our process for evaluating applicants.
First M.D. interview invites are emailed to candidates starting in early August. MSTP interviewees are notified on a different schedule.
Every Monday starting with when the first round of interview invites are emailed, we post updates on Twitter.
The Primary AMCAS application for the M.D. program is due by October 1st.
The Secondary application for the M.D./Ph.D. (MSTP) program is due by October 15th.
With our rolling admissions notifications, applicants are notified of their status by no later than the end of the month following the month in which their interview took place beginning in October. Admitted students’ seats in the class are held until the AAMC's national decision date of April 30th. No deposit is ever required at Michigan!
Congratulations! Once you are invited to join the next class of Michigan Medical School students, you will receive more information about connecting with fellow admits and current students as well as regular updates about next steps.
This decision is not an offer of admission, waitlist, nor is it a rejection. Your file is on hold while we review other candidates who interview later than you. A final review of your file will take place no later than March but could be earlier. We appreciate your patience. You are welcome to update your application at any time using the Applicant Portal. Candidates are admitted out of the Deferred Decision pool. Should candidates not be admitted, they will be placed on the waitlist in March.
The number of students who are admitted off of our waitlist varies from year to year. While we appreciate updates and new information from those who are on the waitlist via the Applicant Portal, the number of contacts made with our office will not impact our waitlist decisions.
After careful review, it is with regret that we are unable to offer you a position in University of Michigan Medical School's next entering class.
