The Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV practices rolling admissions. This means that all interviewed applicants stay in active review until the cohort is filled and the alternate list is finalized. Similarly, this means that an applicant who interviews early in the cycle may not see an offer of admissions until later in the season.

Additional Information

Applicants who interview and are declined/rejected as the committee ends the review season each April, or those on the alternate list who also are not admitted when the cycle completely closes in early June, are offered an opportunity for a feedback telephone call with the director of admissions if they are interested in reapplication to the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine in a future cycle.

Applicants who don’t interview but would like feedback are welcome to email us for information at admissions@medicine.unlv.edu upon notification of decline/rejection.
