When do schools see where you're accepted?

Members do not see this ad.

Normal disclaimer: Yeah I searched.

My adviser mentioned that there was a certain date that med schools could see which schools had accepted you. Does this happen on May 15 or earlier?

Someone thought it might be March 15 (in 2005), but I doubt this is true.

Medical schools tend to send out acceptances in waves or on a rolling basis depending on when you apply. If you interviewed in October, you may already have your acceptance in November/December.

Edit: Sorry, I didn't read your post correctly 😛

I think it's May 15. That's the day they can see where you got accepted and if you are holding places in any other classes.

Schools that accept you can see other schools that accepted you much earlier than May 15--probably for financial aid purposes.

The AAMC shares acceptance information across schools in order to assist medical schools adhere to AAMC recommendations. These data are shared as follows:
a) Beginning in February of each year, a medical school that has accepted an applicant can view the other school or schools that have accepted the applicant, if applicable.
b) Beginning in April of each year, a medical school can view the school or schools that have accepted an applicant, even if that applicant has not yet been accepted by the medical school.
