American Medical College Application Service Requirement

• Students must also complete an American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) application using the restrictive program type “Early Assurance.” The application should be submitted within seven calendar days of the first day that AMCAS allows application submission. Applications submitted later than this time frame may not be verified and meet the application deadline of August 1. 
• Upon successful competition of the Early Assurance Program as documented from the Exit Assessment and submission of the AMCAS application by the noted deadlines, EAP students will receive their offer of admission to their respective regional campus. 

Any student not meeting program requirements may still apply to UK College of Medicine, but must do so by applying “Early Decision” or “Regular MD” program type according to the applicant’s preference.
