With the secondary application, the applicant must provide recommendations and pay a non-refundable fee, and may opt to provide a photograph. No application fee is charged for pre-screening the AMCAS application. The deadline to submit an AMCAS application is November 1.

Applicants must be citizens of the United States or have permanent resident status.

BS/MD Program - Bioengineering

The BS/MD program is a joint program with the UT College of Engineering Bioengineering program.

Learn more about the BS/MD program.

Baccalaureate/MD Program

The College of Natural Science and Mathematics, The College of Literature, Language, and Social Sciences and the College for Visual and Performing Arts partner with the College of Medicine to offer the Baccalaureate/MD program, a joint program which allows students to seamlessly connect undergraduate studies to professional studies culminating in a medical degree. Students admitted into the program are guaranteed acceptance into the College of Medicine provided they maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.5 in their undergraduate studies and that they meet all of the College of Medicine's admission requirements.

MSBS - Medical Sciences

The primary goal of this program is to educate and train graduate students who have completed all prerequisites required for medical school but wish to enhance their understanding of the biological sciences and potentially improve their academic credentials for applying to medical school.  Approximately 50 students are accepted into this one year program.  Historically 65 to 80 percent have been successful in matriculating into a medical class the following year.  Learn more about the MSBS-MS program.
