Application Deadlines (Bachelor's Degrees and Post-baccalaureate Certificate Programs)
If an application deadline falls on a weekend, supplemental materials will be due the next business day. Applications are accepted year round and are reviewed by the admissions committee once all materials are received by the admissions office. Applicants will be notified of their admission status approximately three weeks later.
If you wish to begin in a specific quarter, you must submit an application by the appropriate deadline. Premedicine students typically begin the program in the summer or fall term. Please review the sample course plans for the premedicine concentration before applying.
Learn more about how you can get started at Northwestern
University. Information Sessions will be held in Chicago and
Evanston throughout the year. At the sessions you can view
presentations and speak with advisers and academic programmers
who will be on hand to answer your questions. Click
