Pre-Med Timeline (Applying Junior Year of Undergrad):

This first timeline is often referred to as the “traditional” timeline.

This sets students up to enter health professional school after four years of undergraduate education, with no break or “growth year.”

This timeline requires that students take the MCAT no later than April of their junior year, apply to schools May/June between their junior and senior year, and stay engaged in the application process over the course of the next year. Matriculation to an applicant’s chosen program occurs in August following graduation from URI.

This is the least common timeline amongst applicants nationally.
