Deadline and Fee Information
Timeline
The AMCAS application opens in May.
MSTP applications are reviewed from July to December each year.
Due to the highly competitive nature of the MSTP, applicants are strongly encouraged to complete the primary and secondary application as early as feasible.
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.
Competitive applicants receive invitations to interview beginning in August through January.
September 15 - MSTP primary application deadline through AMCAS.
October 15 - MSTP secondary application deadline through the University of Michigan Medical School Office of Admissions.
Please note, in order for a MSTP application to be considered “complete,” the secondary application and all letters of recommendation must be received.
Interviews begin this month.
Admitted applicants will receive registration information and further details about Second Look held in April.
We will be hosting in-person Second Look events for accepted applicants April 14-15. MSTP students typically also attend the MD Program Second Look events on April 15-16. This is an excellent opportunity to meet our students and faculty in person and learn more about our MSTP and Ann Arbor. We cannot wait to welcome you to campus!
April 30 - Deadline for accepted applicants to finalize admissions decision. According to AAMC applicant guidelines, you will need to officially accept or decline our offer of admission via your status page by April 30 (or the next business day if that date falls on a weekend).
