Deadlines

Be honest about residency before you spend the fee. UMMC's own page says it hasn't been possible to admit nonresidents in recent years, and the Class of 2029 was 100% Mississippi residents. If you're not a resident, the $100 nonresident secondary fee buys you very little.
Decisions are rolling from Oct. 15, and the committee meets two to three weeks after each interview. For Regular Decision, an August-to-October file sees more open seats than a file finished on Nov. 1. Submit the secondary, the mailed transcripts and the photo as early as you can.
Early Decision is only worth it if UMMC is truly your first choice and you clear 3.6 BCPM and 504 MCAT. You can't apply anywhere else until you hear, which will be by Oct. 1. If you're turned down, you move to Regular Decision here and can apply elsewhere, but late.
Prepare for the MMI, not a conversation. Eight to ten stations, ten minutes each, each with a different rater, all in person in Jackson. The stations test ethics, teamwork and communication, and UMMC says they don't test science. Practice thinking out loud about a scenario under time pressure.
