Transfer policy

We consider transfer applicants from similarly structured M.D. programs on a per-case basis. 

If you are transferring from an M.D. program at another university, you may only enter our program in the fifth semester or earlier. Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà does not accept transfer students directly into the third or fourth-year Clinical Science Program. Students who have completed USMLE Step I and wish to transfer must pass a shortened, modified fifth semester, which still includes the Introduction of Clinical Medicine II course. 

To be considered for admission with advanced standing, you must meet all Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà prerequisite requirements, including completion of all required undergraduate courses. You must also submit the following along with your completed application for admission:

• Official transcripts from your prior medical school(s)

• Official copies of all undergraduate and graduate transcripts (if applicable)
• Two letters of recommendation
• A personal essay 
• The $75 nonrefundable application fee
