To Apply:

  • Submit your AMCAS application as ED and all additional required materials (Secondary Application, Letters of Recommendation, MCAT & Casper scores) by August 1 (11:59 CT). 

Interviews:

  • Early Decision applicants invited to interview will attend the first virtual interview day in September. 

Decisions:

  • Early Decision applicants will either be Accepted to the entering class or Deferred to the Regular Pool for future consideration.
  • All decisions will be made no later than October 1.
     

Applicants accepted in the Early Decision Program are committed to attend Rush Medical College and will not be able to apply to other medical schools.
