*15 October: This is the deadline for submission of application materials to UCAS. You can’t hope to get into any medical programs of top notch universities if your application materials don’t get to UCAS by this time.
*15 January: This date is termed “late application deadline” by UCAS. Applications are marked late at this time. Applicants are highly encouraged to submit their applications before the January 15.
