When will they accept their first class?

Possibly during the 2025-2026 application cycle.
They will still have another site visit by LCME later this year to determine if they are ready to be approved to start recruiting applicants..

During my MCG interview they basically said the plan was to start 2025-2026 and the previous classes that are AU/UGA medical partnership will continue business as usual as the new UGA medical school students come in. It’s going to be interesting to see how faculty is handled or if they’re basically just changing names and everything else remains the same
