  • EDP Applicant Requirements:

The rules of a formal Early Decision Program stipulate that an applicant cannot apply to ANY OTHER medical school in the U.S. until he or she receives the EDP decision.    

All EDP applicants are required to do the following:  

    • Indicate in the [Select Schools] section that they are applying through one of the restricted Early Decision Programs.   
    • Submit the TMDSAS application by August 1st.  
    • Submit any required secondary applications by August 1st.  
    • Submit MCAT scores, all required transcripts, and letters of evaluation to TMDSAS by September 15th.  
    • Attend the selected school if offered acceptance through the Early Decision Program.  

An applicant who is offered admission is OBLIGATED to attend the medical school. The applicant must obtain a formal release from the school they applied to in order to be eligible to apply to other schools. 

  • What if you are not accepted to an EDP?
    The applicant is eligible to apply to other schools as soon as a formal notification letter from the school is received, indicating that the applicant has been released from EDP consideration.

To apply to other TMDSAS schools for regular admission consideration, you must send an internal message within the application by the application deadline, listing all schools you would like added to your application.
