More About the Medical School
MCW’s admissions process offers multiple program options, including regular MD, early decision, and combined MD/PhD, MD/MS, and MD/MPH programs.
Applicants must have completed a bachelor’s degree or at least 90 credits from an accredited U.S. or Canadian institution. Key requirements include taking the MCAT, submitting primary and secondary applications through AMCAS, and taking the Casper test, a situational judgment assessment.
Letters of recommendation are required, with specifics varying based on undergraduate or graduate status. MCW follows a rolling admissions process, so early submission of both primary and secondary applications is strongly recommended. Application deadlines vary, with early decision applications due in August and regular MD applications due in November.
For international applicants, MCW only accepts U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or DACA recipients at this time. However, they plan to accept international students in future cycles. The admissions process also includes interviews, which occur between September and March.
