About the Accelerated Application Program at Rutgers

Eliminate your "glide year" through the AAP

The Accelerated Application Program (AAP) is designed to provide our highest performing students with an opportunity to submit an application to RWJMS in the spring semester to be considered for entry into RWJMS for the fall class.

The advantages of this special program are that selected students receive an interview with RWJMS and, if accepted to the medical school, the "glide" year is eliminated. The admissions process is competitive.
