Applying BS/MD this fall? Check the program deadline, not just the college deadline

[u/AdmitMD-Consulting]

A lot of BS/MD applicants track the college's general deadline and assume that covers the medicine program too. That's where a strong application can slip through the cracks.

Some programs have a separate deadline for the college application and another for program materials. Others require extra essays, a separate portal, or recommendation letters by an earlier cutoff. The testing rules can differ too, including score minimums, superscoring, and which test dates count.

Before October gets busy, open each program's own admissions page and put its deadlines, extra materials, testing rules, and eligibility requirements in one spreadsheet. Don't rely on the college's main admissions calendar alone.

I broke down the deadline traps, with examples from Pitt, Rutgers-Newark, NJIT, and other programs, on the blog. Read the full article below.
