Applying

Supplemental Application: MSTP applicants are strongly advised to take the MCAT during the spring and submit medical school applications early in the admissions process, preferably during the summer months. The Supplemental Application must be submitted electronically by Nov. 1. The supplemental application provides candidates with the opportunity to indicate a department of interest and their primary research interest.

Supporting Documentation: All materials must be received by Nov. 1 for MSTP applicants.  This includes your AMCAS application, your medical school supplemental application, and your letters of recommendation. 

The MSTP requires at least one reference letter, preferably from your most recent mentor, dealing directly with your experiences, abilities and potential as a researcher. The names of all individuals who will provide a letter should be listed on your supplemental application with the most recent experience listed first. An official transcript for all undergraduate or graduate courses taken will be required if you are invited to interview. Please note: MSTP interviews may not be conducted without all supporting documentation.

Medical students at BCM may choose to apply to the MST Program by notifying the MSTP Administrative Office of their intent, and submit a one-page letter of interest and a completed Supplemental Application before Nov. 1. They must also participate in all programs and events required of current MSTP students. Following an interview with the director, a decision regarding acceptance will be made at the end of the academic year.

International students must complete their undergraduate training at an accredited U.S. college or university to be eligible to apply to the medical school and the M.D./ Ph.D. Program. International students who have completed their M.D. in another country and are interested in obtaining a Ph.D. should contact the Graduate School at gradappboss@bcm.edu for more information. Students accepted to the M.D./ Ph.D. Program must complete both their M.D. and Ph.D. at Baylor College of Medicine.
