Early Assurance Program
The Early Assurance Program is an affiliation between
Penn State College of Medicine and nine undergraduate
colleges in Pennsylvania and Virginia. Its
purpose is to offer conditional acceptance into medical school
to students entering their junior (or freshman*)
year of college. The nine undergraduate schools that currently
participate in the College of Medicine’s Early
Assurance Program are:
Albright College
Eastern Mennonite University
Elizabethtown College*
Franklin & Marshall College
The Pennsylvania State University
The Pennsylvania State University at Erie, The Behrend College
West Chester University of Pennsylvania
Wilkes University*
York College of Pennsylvania
Please contact the premed advising office of participating
undergraduate colleges for more information. Early Decision Program
Penn State College of Medicine follows the
procedures and guidelines for Early Decision
application as indicated by the Association
of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) website, with
the following exception:
Whereas the AAMC guidelines indicate that the Early
Decision applicant must provide all required supplemental
information by August 1st, as Penn State
College of Medicine participates in AMCAS, the
deadline for submission of supplemental information
from Early Decision applicants to Penn State College
of Medicine is September 1st.
If these guidelines are met, applicants will be
notified of the Admissions Committee's decision by
October 1st. If not accepted under the Early Decision
Program, applicants will automatically be placed in
the regular applicant pool and may then apply to
additional medical schools.
Please note that Penn State College of Medicine
admits only a small portion of its entering class
through the Early Decision Program. Only applicants
with an excellent chance of admission should apply.
Please refer to our course
requirements page and our most recent entering Class
Profile for details. Top
