  How do I apply to UWSOM?

The UW School of Medicine belongs to the Association of American Medical Colleges.  All applicants are required to submit an on-line AMCAS application.  This preliminary application will then be distributed to the medical schools of your choice.  Each individual school determines which applicants should submit a secondary application.  (See Application Procedures.)

• 
  
  What is the AMCAS application deadline?

Preliminary AMCAS applications for the UWSOM are accepted from June 1 through November 1 of the year before the start of medical school.  The November 1^st deadline is strictly enforced.

• 
  
  What is the UWSOM secondary application deadline?

All secondary materials (also referred to as the supplemental application) should be in the Office of Admissions by January 15th (or the first working day following this date if the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday).  This deadline will be strictly enforced. 

• 
  
  Do you send the supplemental application automatically to every applicant?

Unlike many medical schools, the UWSOM does not send out supplemental applications automatically.  The admissions committee will screen applications to determine if a secondary application will be received. WWAMI residents above a certain cutoff point are sent supplemental applications, but applicants from outside the WWAMI region are pre-screened to determine whether or not they will receive a supplemental application.

  What is the UWSOM looking for in the additional personal statement that is part of the supplemental application?

  
  

   

  
  

  This is a good place for applicants to add anything they feel was not covered in the AMCAS personal statement.  Because the UWSOM has a particular interested in serving rural and/or underserved populations, any volunteer or paid experience spent working with these populations could be explored in this essay.

• 
  
  If I am an out of state applicant, what can I do to be competitive?

Apart from applicants having the academic qualifications, successful applicants from outside the WWAMI region either come from a disadvantaged background or have demonstrated a strong commitment and service to the underserved population.

• 
  
  Does the UWSOM accept international applicants?

The UWSOM does not consider foreign applicants unless they are permanent residents of the United States (i.e., possess a green card).  Permanent residence documentation is part of the application requirement to the UWSOM for all foreign applicants.
