The majority of applicants applying to over 60 MD- and DO-granting schools took the PREview exam for the 2024-2025 application year. These schools, and more, are expected to participate again in 2025 for the 2025-2026 application season. Some schools will require PREview while others will recommend applicants take the exam. Several other schools are considering using PREview scores – they will participate by using PREview scores in their research to learn more about the exam and determine if they will require or recommend the exam for future application years.
There are several ways in which you can identify which schools, and which programs within the schools, are participating, by checking:
- This web page – we will be updating this page as schools and programs confirm their participation. While most of the schools we list will be AAMC-member medical schools, we will include any schools using the following:
- American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS)
- Association of American Osteopathic Medical School Application Service (AACOMAS)
- Texas Medical and Dental School Application Service (TMDSAS)
- Any other centralized application service used by a health profession
- Individual school applications for a health profession
- The Medical School Admission Requirements (MSAR) – medical schools share all of their application criteria in MSAR, including if they are requiring or recommending PREview scores. The updated version will be published in spring 2025.
- AMCAS – when the application opens for the 2025-2026 application season, each school using the service will indicate if they are participating and they will also indicate which programs within their schools will be using PREview scores.
- Your email – if you apply to medical school using AMCAS, you will receive reminders about the PREview exam if you select a participating school. It is your responsibility to determine if you need or want to submit PREview scores to meet a requirement or support your application by taking the PREview exam.
