Editor's notes

• Apply through AMCAS if you already have it. UMHS waives its $75 fee when you send a PDF of your AMCAS, AACOMAS, OMSAS or TMDSAS application, and nothing is reviewed until every document arrives. Chase your letters early.
• Your MCAT has a shelf life here. UMHS wants a score from within three years of applying and every attempt reported. If your best score is older, plan a retake before you apply.
• Know which offer you're getting. UMHS can admit you to the standard program, to the five-semester Extended Basic Science track or to its preparatory Accelerated Review Program. Each changes your cost and timeline, so read the letter closely.
• Ask for one clear placement number. Ask admissions for recent first-time Step 1 results and residency placement by entering class, so you can compare UMHS with other schools on the same terms.
