Fee
The Association of Chiropractic Colleges (ACC) is subsidizing a substantial portion of the cost of the Chiro Match in its inaugural year. Applicants must pay $50 USD to register for the Chiro Match.
The fee pays for your Chiro Match registration and for the first twelve (12) applications you send to programs using the Application Service. An additional fee of $20 USD will apply for each application submitted in excess of twelve.
Fees are non-refundable (even if you subsequently decide to withdraw from the Chiro Match) and are not transferable to future Matches or other applicants.
Timing
You must be registered for the Chiro Match in order to send applications to programs using the Application Service. You should register and submit your applications to programs by January 24, 2025, which is the default application deadline date for all programs. Programs may choose to extend their application deadline to a later date, but are not obliged to do so.
The final deadline to register to participate is February 19, 2025. However, programs consider applications and conduct interviews much earlier than that date. Therefore, you should register well before the final date listed above.
