Rolling Admissions for MPAS
Let your Honors College advisor know if you meet the above requirements and are applying to FIU Medicine's MPAS program by October 15 (prior to the January 15th application deadline of the application cycle).
Honors College MPAS applicants are encouraged to apply early and to let their Honors College advisors know early about their intent to apply and confirm when CASPA application is submitted.
MPAS utilizes “rolling admission,” meaning that applications are reviewed continuously until the cohort is filled. Applying later and notifying Honors College advisors later in the MPAS application cycle may lead to an interview in a subsequent cycle/for a subsequent cohort rather than in the current cycle or for the current cohort
