These sample schedules allow for medical school application in the summer between the junior and senior years, the approximate application timing for students who plan to enter medical school in the year following college graduation. As there are many course combinations that can allow this same application timing, students should seek out individual advice regarding course planning. When planning courses, students should be aware that the required courses for medical school admission need to be completed before the application is submitted and that many of the required courses are necessary for strong performance on most of the admission tests (e.g. MCAT), which students are advised to complete before the application is submitted.
