Admission requirements
UF's regular MD route requires U.S. citizenship or permanent residence, a bachelor's degree from an accepted U.S. or Canadian institution, prerequisite science coursework, MCAT, and letters submitted through AMCAS. For the 2027 entry cycle, the official page lists a minimum MCAT score of 500 and says the exam must be taken by September 12, 2026 for interview consideration. Degree-seeking graduate or professional applicants must complete that degree before matriculation. UF regular MD requirements
Important dates
The current UF page identifies the Class of 2031 and lists a December 1 AMCAS deadline and January 15 formal-materials deadline, with a September 12 MCAT timing condition for later submissions. Confirm these dates against the final Fall 2027 instructions. UF regular MD timeline
