The application deadline to submit the supplemental application is October 1.

1. Apply through AMCAS and indicate your intent to apply to the MD-PhD program, or both MD and MD-PhD.
2. When AMCAS has processed your application, you will receive an email confirming that it has been forwarded to the schools you have designated. When we receive your AMCAS application, we will send you an email acknowledging receipt and explaining how to access our supplemental application and pay our processing fee.

AMCAS charges $170 for an application that includes one medical school designation and $41 for each additional school you designate.

We charge a nonrefundable fee of $100 to process your supplemental application. We will not process it until we receive the fee.

If you’re experiencing financial hardship, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) may waive your AMCAS application fee through its Fee Assistance Program.

If you receive a fee waiver from the AAMC, we will waive our secondary application fee as well.

Based on our curriculum, we strongly encourage you to take a statistics course as well as courses in biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology.

We encourage you to augment your prerequisite courses with advanced science or engineering courses that meet your interests.

Research experience gives you a level of expertise and understanding above that achieved in standard laboratory courses.

Outstanding applicants to our program have significant research experience either within a structured program or as a volunteer or staff member. They have also published their research and presented it at professional conference presentations.

Our students often also successfully apply for awards, fellowships, and other supplemental funding, including prestigious F30 awards.
