Plan to Enroll
Accepted applicants may select “Plan to Enroll” for their top medical school choice in the AMCAS Choose Your Medical School Tool. Applicants may continue to hold waitlist positions at other schools and may hold multiple acceptances until the National Decision Deadline.
Applicants are encouraged to choose this action as early as possible if the Zucker School of Medicine is their top choice.
Commit to Enroll
Accepted applicants may select “Commit to Enroll” when they are ready to make their final selection in the AMCAS Choose Your Medical School Tool.
This action indicates that the applicant has withdrawn all other applications, including waitlist positions at other schools, and is committed to one final acceptance.
Get your materials ready on time, and take the next step toward medical school with clarity and confidence.
