Application Process

The primary application can be completed between between June 1 and November 1, but early application is recommended.

Regular Admission
Initial applications are accepted only through the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS). Information and application materials are available at www.aamc.org. Supplemental applications are sent to all applicants who select Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine to receive their AMCAS application. We do not prescreen primary applications.
International Students
International students who have a degree from a U.S. or Canadian accredited institution and have completed at least 2 years of U.S. or Canadian accredited advanced education, including all prerequisite courses, are welcome to apply. If you hold a non-U.S. or Canadian accredited degree, you must. Non-U.S. citizens and DACA students should be aware that unfortunately the Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine has limited scholarships and financial aid available for non-U.S. citizens. We recommend you review the cost of attendance prior to applying. The International Students and Scholars office can assist international students with visa application questions.

How Admissions Works

In this video, hear from Associate Dean for Admissions Kristen Goodell, MD, and learn about the process for reviewing applications and what we look for in our students.

Because the world needs you. All of you.

We seek candidates who are academically talented, curious beyond belief, and committed to serving others, especially those who are marginalized by society.
