Applicants should have taken or be in the process of taking one semester of college-level math, one semester English, two semesters of biology with lab, two semesters of general chemistry with lab, and two semesters of organic chemistry with lab. Applications are accepted April 1st-June 1st. During the last two years of bachelor's degree work, students will take one or two medical school courses each semester, some of which will count toward the undergraduate biology major as well as the medical degree. This program is open to all students enrolled at Rutgers University who are United States citizens or permanent residents of the United States. It is not directly associated with any one college within the University.
Admission is a two-stage and highly competitive process.
In the first stage , undergraduate students are admitted into the program by the Admissions Committee consisting of Rutgers and medical school faculty. Eligible applicants are sophomores at any of the undergraduate colleges of Rutgers University. Applicants from the Newark and Camden campuses, if admitted, are required to transfer to a college on the New Brunswick campus. The Admissions Committee reviews applications and selects those students who are deemed most qualified for the program. The second stage occurs typically after the fourth year of study.
