Many medical schools offer rolling admissions.
Many medical schools in the United States have a rolling admissions policy. They review applications and schedule interviews as they receive the applications, rather than collecting applications by a certain date and reviewing them all at once. Schools employ this process not only because it's more convenient for applicants and admissions staff, but because it helps to prevent unfilled slots in programs.
