Admissions

INTERVIEWS, IF OFFERED

  • Each year the Admissions Office offers approximately 1,000 interviews (via written notification) to selected applicants. These interviews are "blind" (the interviewers do not read the applicant's file prior to the interview). Although we only offer interviews from September to March, acceptances into the class may be offered anytime after the initial interview up until the day before classes start in August. All final decisions will be mailed to those interviewed.

CONDITIONS OF ACCEPTANCE

  • All accepts to the MD program will receive a contract to sign and return immediately to initially hold the seat.

  • All acceptances are contingent upon satisfactory completion of all future course work, including premedical requirements. If you are in a degree program, you must complete the program. A grade of “D” or below will result in a re-evaluation of the application. If you have made changes in the selection of courses after filing your AMCAS application, please notify the Admissions Office in writing. The Admissions Office should also be notified of any decision to take a course for credit/no credit, pass/fail, audit, take courses at a school other than the one indicated on the AMCAS application or of a decision to graduate early or enroll as a part-time student.

  • AMCAS does not forward transcripts. Before you matriculate, you must have official transcripts sent to the Admissions Office from each college or university you have attended. Student copies are not acceptable. These transcripts will become an official part of your permanent medical school record and will be used for verification purposes after you graduate.

  • If you are the recipient of any institutional disciplinary or legal action, it is your responsibility to inform the Admissions Office immediately.

  • A $100 deposit is due between May 1 and May 15.

  • Applicants are permitted to hold only one medical school position after May 15. AMCAS will report to the medical schools which acceptances you are holding.
     
  • All accepted students will be subject to a criminal background check through the AAMC criminal background check service.

Failure to meet these Conditions of Acceptance may result in withdrawal of your acceptance.
