Medical School Transfers

Admission to advanced standing by transfer may be granted to a limited number of students if space is available. Those seeking transfer must be currently enrolled and in good standing in an LCME-accredited medical school. Inquiries should be forwarded to the Office of Medical Student Admissions.

Inquiries should include reasons for wanting to transfer, a brief description of the medical school career so far, and the class into which transfer is being sought. Upon receipt of valid inquiries, either the transfer application or notification as to space availability will be sent.

The transfer application requires a dean’s letter, two letters of evaluation from medical school faculty, a curriculum/course description from the current medical school, a complete transcript, and a nonrefundable application processing fee of $55.00. After evaluation of the transfer application, an interview may be required. The deadline for transfer applications is February 1.
