Applying through the Early Decision Option

Applicants who have identified NJMS MD-PhD Program as their first choice may apply through the Early Decision option. These applicants will be provided an expedited review process. MD-PhD Early Decision applicants must complete the AMCAS applications by August 1. Additionally, we require applicants to submit the PhD application and all other required materials including the Secondary Application with fee or fee waiver and letters of recommendation by September 1. Notification of the application status is sent out by October 1. MD-PhD Early Decision applicants are either admitted to the entering class or placed in the regular applicant pool for consideration. Those placed in the regular applicant pool for consideration are then able to apply to other medical schools.
