Am I eligible to apply to the Carver College of Medicine?

Applicants for admission to the M.D. program must be citizens or documented permanent residents of the United States or have asylum status. Applicants must have received a bachelor's degree or be in a degree program with expectation of receiving the degree prior to enrollment. We accept foreign degrees. We do not offer early admission or joint BA/MD degree.

Transfer policy

The M.D. program does not accept transfer students or those with advanced standing. An exception to the transfer policy may be made in cases of severe exigency. This exception will only apply to students attending an LCME-accredited U.S. medical school who are in the clinical phase of their curriculum.

Reapplicants

Applicants may only apply for 3 successive years and no more than 4 times total.  If you plan to re-apply, you may schedule an appointment with our admissions staff to discuss your application before you re-submit your AMCAS. Allow enough time before you reapply to act on the advice given and develop a plan.
