Dr. Eaton / June 16, 2014 at 12:59 pm. If you would like to begin medical school in fall 2016, then you should submit your AMCAS application in the summer of 2015, preferable early in the cycle. The first day to submit is in early June.
The AMCAS primary application opens in the beginning of May and can be submitted in the beginning of June. Verification and processing of your application can take a while, especially as things pick up in late June and early July, so getting on the ball early can help you throughout your medical school application process.
