Students are required to have one year of college credit in each of the following areas: Biology, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, and English. The mathematics requirement can be fulfilled by statistics or computer science courses. Biology and chemistry courses must be accompanied by laboratory experience.

We have no requirement, however, the Admissions Committee considers not only what courses an applicant takes, but where the courses are taken.

Yes. However, should you be offered an acceptance, it will be contingent upon the successful completion of all requirements prior to matriculation.

Individual visits are only arranged for applicants who have been invited for an interview. We do not provide admissions counseling. Applicants should speak with the premedical advisors at their home institutions.

Applications for transfer into the second, third, and fourth year classes are no longer accepted.

The oldest MCAT scores considered for the 2009 entering class are from 2006.

Fee waivers are only granted to individuals who have been granted AAMC Fee Assistance Program approval. If this approval is indicated on your AMCAS application, it will automatically appear when you complete the online Supplemental Application.

Mount Sinai School of Medicine receives between 4500 and 5000 completed applications for the 140 positions in its entering class. Students accepted for the class which entered in 2008 had a mean GPA of 3.66, and mean MCAT's of 34.8.

Letters of recommendation will only be accepted through AMCAS. We require a letter of recommendation from your Premedical Advisory Committee. Individual recommendations from professors who taught you (one Science and one Non-Science) will be acceptable substitutes only if your school does not have a Premed Committee.
