More About the Medical School
Admission to the Geisel School of Medicine is a highly competitive process that looks for academically excellent candidates with strong leadership, community service, and research experiences.
The admissions committee evaluates applicants holistically, considering factors like intellectual ability, compassion, maturity, and a commitment to healthcare.
To apply, candidates must submit an AMCAS application, followed by a secondary application upon invitation. The school places a strong emphasis on diversity, encouraging applicants from underrepresented groups. Applicants must have completed prerequisite coursework in subjects like biology, chemistry, and physics. MCAT scores are required, and while there is no minimum score, competitive applicants typically perform well.
The admissions process also includes interviews, which allow the committee to further assess candidates’ fit with the program’s mission of producing well-rounded, empathetic physicians. Geisel is particularly known for fostering collaborative, innovative physicians who will contribute to improving the future of healthcare delivery.
Important dates include the opening of the AMCAS application in May, interviews starting in August, and deadlines for primary and secondary applications in the fall.
