Review Process and Timeline
The MSTP Admissions Committee is composed of faculty and current students. The committee evaluates several criteria, including (but not limited to) academic excellence, scientific background, research accomplishments, career motivation as a physician-scientist, leadership, and community service.
The MD Program Admissions Committee and the MSTP Admissions Committee work together to evaluate candidates' merit and qualifications. Evaluators explore applicants' motivation for seeking a medical degree, awareness, understanding of the medical profession, leadership, problem-solving skills, medical ethics, and interpersonal skills.
Selected candidates will be invited to participate in an in-person interview weekend. The interviews start on Thursday and end on Saturday. Candidates pre-select faculty they would like to meet with and interview with them on Friday. Throughout the weekend, there are a variety of social events (e.g., dinners and recreational activities).
