All applicants whose primary application has been verified will receive an email with a link to the secondary application. Please note the deadlines listed to the right.

An application fee of $127 must be paid at the time the supplemental application is submitted. The secondary application fee is automatically waived for those who qualified for a fee waiver from the AAMC Fee Assistance Program. If your fee waiver was approved after your primary application was submitted, please forward the approval email to our office so, we can process your fee waiver. The application fee for the supplemental application is  non-refundable. 

The deadline for receipt of the completed secondary application is December 14 at midnight Eastern Time. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the secondary application is received by the deadline as extensions will not be granted.

We require all applicants to complete CASPer (Computer-Based Assessment for Sampling Personal Characteristics).  Completion of CASPer is mandatory to receive an invitation to interview. Only the CASPer exam is required. You can sign up for a CASPer session here. Click here for a list of our acceptable test dates. 

A completed application includes a submitted secondary and fee, letters of recommendation, and registration for the CASPer no later than December 7, 2023. 

Early Decision Program

Our Early Decision Program (EDP) process allows medical school applicants to request and receive an early decision regarding their application to the Larner COM at the University of Vermont prior to seeking an acceptance elsewhere. Successful applicants are holistically comparable to the prior years' cohort. If our College of Medicine is an applicant’s first choice, they may participate under the following conditions:

  • The completed primary application must be submitted to the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) by June 12, 2024.
  • The MCAT must have been taken no later than end of June of the application year.
  • The Secondary application fee, Supplemental Application, Letters of Recommendation, and additional supporting documents must be on file with the Medical Student Admissions Office by July 31, 2024.
  • They must meet with the Associate Dean of Admissions to discuss their application and receive approval to apply by emailing lcom.admissions@med.uvm.edu.  

Applicants who are not admitted in the Early Decision Program will be considered in the regular applicant pool by request.

We will communicate primarily via email; therefore, it is essential you have a reliable email account that you monitor on a regular basis. 

Changes/Updates

Changes in your email, name or address must be updated in AMCAS. Additional letters of recommendation or updates are not necessary, however we will accept updates, which may be uploaded as a PDF on the secondary portal. 

Questions

If you have any questions or concerns about your application, please reach out to us by email to medadmissions@med.uvm.edu .
