Direct Medical Programs Still Accepting Applications (2025–2026 Cycle)
Direct Medical Programs Still Accepting Applications (2025–2026)
The good news: There are still a few direct medical and dental programs accepting applications.
The bad news: Time is definitely running out.
While most BS/MD, BS/MO, and combined dental programs close by November or early December, a few programs remain open into January, February, and even March for the 2025-2026 admissions cycle.
These highly competitive pathways offer guaranteed or conditional acceptances to medical or dental schools directly from high school, often eliminating the need to apply again during undergrad. Whether you’re a last-minute applicant finalizing your college list or looking for a guaranteed admission to medical school without the uncertainty of the traditional pre-med route, the guide below outlines each program’s deadline and application requirements.
