What It Means to Apply Early for Medical Applicants


Throughout the Courage Sessions and episodes of the Inside Health Education podcasts, admissions deans and directors at the medical schools often share that it's important that applicants "apply early." But what does that guidance really mean?

In this video, we break down the application timeline across the entire cycle and review different scenarios that show why applying earlier in the cycle can help your application be considered for as many interview dates as possible.

Use this information to help you set a target date that best suits your needs balancing the time you need to submit a quality application and submitting early.
