Frequently Asked Questions

§   Does your address not need a street number?

No, the medical center has its own zip code. If you will include the last four digit zip code – 1090 – it will come directly to us.

All communication can be sent to:

Office of Medical Student Admissions
Medical Center Blvd.
Winston-Salem, NC 27157-1090

§   What recommendations do you require?

We prefer a premed committee report, if our school has one. If not, there are forms attached to the secondary application that should be downloaded and given to two professors, one science and one non-science. If your school uses a letter service, we will accept that and you do not have to have the form on the secondary application filled out. We also accept recommendations from VirtualEvals and Interfolio. If you are using one of these services, you do not have to have the evaluation forms on the secondary filled out.

§   If my school uses a letter service, which number should I check on the secondary application?

7. A. and state “letter service”. If you know the person signing the cover letter you may put that on there but it is not necessary.

§   Do you accept international students?

Yes, please click on International Applications on the menu for information.

§   Do you accept AP credit for required science courses?

We will accept AP credit for required science courses if you have taken upper level science courses at a four year school. In other words, we don’t accept AP credit stand alone.
