Apply for MD Program

Regular Admissions

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.

Candidates may apply between late June and Nov. 1, but early application is strongly recommended.

International Students

International students who have a degree from a U.S. or Canadian accredited institution, located within the U.S. or Canada are welcome to apply.  If you hold a non-U.S. or Canadian accredited degree, you must have completed at least 2 years of U.S. or Canadian accredited advanced education, including all prerequisite courses.  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. Visit the ISSO website or email isso@bu.edu with questions.
