To apply through the EDP, applicants must follow these guidelines:
Apply to only one U.S. medical school by the stated deadline date (August 1 for schools that participate in AMCAS);
Not to apply through the EDP if they have already submitted an initial or secondary application (AMCAS or non-AMCAS) to a U.S. medical school for the current entering class.
Attend only this school if offered a place under the EDP.
If these guidelines are met, applicants will be notified of the school's admission decision by October 1.
If not accepted under the EDP, applicants will automatically be placed in the regular applicant pool by the school and may then apply to additional schools. EDP regulations apply to both AMCAS and non-AMCAS participating schools. Not all medical schools offer admission through the EDP; check medical schools' admission requirements to verify a school's participation.
