Choosing a 2026 Eligibility Window
Who this is for: You want your 3-month window to end in 2026.
Summary: The Booklet is just the rule set; you don’t “apply with” a booklet. In IWA, select any 3-month window that lands in 2026 (e.g., Dec 2025–Feb 2026, Jan–Mar 2026).
Steps
-
In IWA → USMLE Application, go to Choose Eligibility Period.
-
Pick a 3-month range that includes 2026 months.
-
Complete/submit and pay.
-
If you’ll test after Jan 1, you’ll re-attest to the 2026 rules online before testing.
Fee note
-
Fees are tied to invoice date. If fees change in 2026, paying earlier may keep prior rates; paying later uses new rates.
Just apply in IWA and choose a window that includes 2026—no special “2026 booklet” needed. You’ll re-attest to the 2026 rules before your test if your date is after Jan 1.
