At most medical schools, shadowing is an unspoken requirement. At some schools, like University of Washington, it is clearly stated that the admissions committee expects a minimum of 40 hours shadowing physicians prior to applying.
Some other medical schools notify most of their applicant pool at once - on a given day, rather than on a rolling basis. You are typically given 10 - 14 days from the day you receive the acceptance letter from a medical school in the mail to make a deposit and indicate that you are interested in attending there. Once the deposit is made and you respond to the school, the medial school will hold a spot for you in the incoming class.
