2028 Application Cycle | Entrance Exam Deadline

Deadline to take Required Entrance Exam

DUE June 1, 2027, for ALL applicants

Note: to participate in the Application Readiness Program and, if applicable, Letter Packet service ALL requirements must be completed by the indicated deadlines!

If you plan to apply with a Northeastern University Letter Packet, you must take your required entrance exam (e.g., MCAT, DAT, OAT, GRE, etc.) by June 1, 2027. This should be the score you intend to use when applying, whether you are a first-time applicant or a reapplicant.

This deadline was established with your success in mind! By testing no later than June 1, you should receive your official score early enough to finalize your school list and submit a complete, competitive application early in the admissions cycle. Because most health professions programs use rolling admissions, applying early can be a significant advantage.

Applicants who plan to apply using individual letters of evaluation rather than a Northeastern University Letter Packet are also strongly encouraged to complete their entrance exam by June 1, 2027, for these same reasons.

Our goal is to help you apply as early as possible—with your entrance exam score in hand—so you can make informed application decisions and maximize your competitiveness!
