How many students apply to the MD-PhD Program each year?
The MD-PhD Program receives over 500 applications per year. Selection for interviews is based on a careful review of the application and supporting documents. A strong research and excellent academic background are essential. Most applicants selected for interviews will have high MCAT scores as well. Letters of recommendation are also very important. Applicants invited for interviews will have their interviews coordinated by the admissions officers to be held on one of four interview dates. Interviews are held December through January. We do not have a rolling admissions process. Some applicants may be invited for medical school interviews but not invited for MD-PhD Program interviews.
