is submitted: American College Testing Programs and

not be considered.

Applicants to Duke MSTP apply simultaneously to MSTP

Please submit this initial application at least six
weeks prior to the Duke MSTP deadline. It can take four
to six weeks for verification of the AMCAS application
and transmission of that application to Duke. Be sure
to leave ample time for this process.

Duke portion of the application is completed online.
After receiving AMCAS applications, Duke School of Medicine
contacts applicants with invitations to access Duke's
Supplemental Application and Personal Account System.
