You can change a medical school program type if the deadline has not passed. To save changes to the application, select Update Application on your AMCAS application. Select Medical Schools and change program types. Updating your application will not delay the processing of your application.
If you are switching from the Early Decision Program to a Regular MD Program, you must release your Early Decision Program selection from your application to be able to select additional medical school designations. There is no charge to update your application unless you add medical schools when you update it. Note: If you are switching from the Regular MD to the Combined MD-PhD Program for the first time, be prepared to answer additional essay questions. You will not be able to add answers to those essay questions after you resubmit your application.
