Apply Strategically
Medical school admissions is rolling — the earlier you submit your AMCAS primary application in June, the earlier NOSM University reviews your application. Students who submit in the first week of the submission window have a measurable advantage over identical applicants who submit two months later.
- Submit AMCAS primary as early as June (opening week is ideal)
- Return secondaries within 14 days of receiving them
- Make sure your 'Why NOSM University' secondary essay references specific programs, not just the school's general reputation
