Frequently Asked Questions

QIf I plan to take the MCAT in April and the application deadline is April 1, will I still be considered for the program in the Fall Semester?

AWhen your MCAT scores are received, the application will be evaluated and you will compete for slots from our waitlist.

QWhat is the length of time that a MCAT score is accepted?

AThere is no set length of time for your MCAT score to be accepted in our program. However, scores significantly older than two years are not as competitive, and more significantly, you will not be able to use the score for your application to many medical schools, including EVMS.

QIs an interview required before a final decision is made?

ANo, an interview is not required. However, if you would like to talk to someone about your individual credentials, the Program Director, Dr. Donald Meyer, would be happy to hear from you.

QIf I get accepted into the program and graduate, am I guaranteed placement in the medical school for the next year?

ANo, we cannot promise that you will be accepted at our medical school. However, in the last five (5) years of the program, approximately 85 percent of all graduates are accepted into a medical school.

QIs the April 1 deadline a definite due date or will you accept applications after that date?

ANo, the April 1 deadline is definite and we do not accept applications after that date.

QIf I am on a waiting list for the medical school and decide to transfer to the Biomedical Sciences Masters (Medical Masters) Program, what do I need to do?

AYou will need to:

  • notify the medical school in writing that you would like your records, including references, transferred to the Biomedical Sciences Masters (Medical Masters) Program
  • complete the Biomedical Sciences Masters (Medical Masters) application online and submit it with your $60 application fee (Note: If we do not receive your application or the $60 application fee, your application will not be reviewed by the Admissions Committee)
  • request your official transcripts from all colleges or universities that you have attended

When your application is complete for the Biomedical Sciences Masters (Medical Masters) Program, it will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee.

QHow long does it take to find out if you have been accepted or not accepted?

AOnce your application is complete, it is reviewed within several weeks by the Admissions Committee. We currently accept approximately 20 students into the program.
