Application ProcessIt is the responsibility of each applicant to meet established deadlines and to monitor the status of their AMCAS and UCF College of Medicine Secondary applications. The UCF Secondary Application Dashboard will provide each applicant with the status of each application component and will reflect file completion upon receipt of all information. The M.D. Program Admissions Office also intends to send an email to each applicant upon completion of their file. Applicants will not be considered for an interview until all required information has been received and their file has been completed. Components of a completed application are as follows:
Applicants must complete an application through the online American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) at www.aamc.org. AMCAS is the national application service that processes applications for M.D. Programs throughout the nation. Through AMCAS, an applicant may apply to most M.D. programs by completing one application and paying the appropriate fees. AMCAS provides the college with applicant information immediately upon completion of AMCAS transcript verification process. The AMCAS application period begins in late May and terminates on or before November 15th prior to the year in which the applicant anticipates enrollment. The AMCAS Application deadline is the date when students must submit the application, all fees, original transcripts, and associated data to AMCAS.
Applicants who meet all requirements will be fully reviewed and considered for an interview. Applicants chosen for interviews must be academically excellent and have demonstrated an interest in medicine through clinical and/or research activities. Those selected for interviews are contacted by telephone and e-mail by the M.D. Program Admissions Office to schedule two video call interviews. The confirmation e-mail will provide instructions regarding the video call process and subsequent steps within the admission process. Some themes to focus on while you are preparing for your interview include: Why UCF? Leadership. Research. Ethics. Integrity. Teamwork. Time Management Skills.
M.D. Program DecisionsWhen the Medical Student Admissions Committee (MSAC) makes a final decision regarding an interviewed applicant, the M.D. Program Admissions Office will contact each applicant by telephone to inform him or her of the committee’s decision.
