Early Assurance Programs (EAPs)

EAPs are aimed at undergraduate students, usually after completing one or two years of college. These programs allow students to secure admission to medical school earlier than compared to the traditional application process. Key differences between EAPs and regular medical school admissions include:

• Waivers for some premedical coursework or standardized test requirements (e.g., the MCAT).

• Early focus on preparing for medical school rather than navigating the full application process.

Many EAPs are restricted to students attending affiliated undergraduate institutions, but there are exceptions. For example, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai offers the FlexMed Program, which is open to students from any accredited undergraduate institution.
