The School seeks candidates who want to move the fields of medicine and biomedical sciences forward, whose past accomplishments show evidence for originality, creativity and a capacity for independent, critical thinking, who are academically ready to succeed at Stanford and whose personal qualities will serve them well in our profession.
The following resources and application materials are required as part of the admissions process for the entering class of 2016. Please refer to the timeline for details regarding notification of different admissions decisions.
1. Step 1: AMCAS Application
Application to Stanford University School of Medicine must be made through the American Medical College Application Service.
A. Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT)
Your test scores are sent automatically to the medical schools that you have designated. The MCAT must be taken within a four-year period measured from the time you take the test to the point of intended matriculation.
B. Letters of Recommendation
All letters of recommendation must be submitted through the AMCAS Letters Service.
We request at least three but no more than six complete letters of recommendation from persons who know you well enough to evaluate your scholarly potential and promise as a physician and to describe your personal qualities. Professors, instructors, thesis advisors or supervisors of special projects, clinical, volunteer or employment activities usually provide the most informative evaluations. These letters may be accompanied by an undergraduate school's premedical committee evaluation.
Stanford MD Application Website
Beginning in early July, the Stanford MD Application Website will be available for you to monitor our receipt of your AMCAS application, Stanford Supplemental Application, letters of evaluation and fee. If your information does not appear in the website, we have not yet received your application from AMCAS.
2. Step 2: Stanford Supplemental Application
Once we receive your AMCAS application, you will receive an e-mail from the Office of MD Admissions inviting you to submit a Stanford Supplemental Application. All applicants will be invited to submit a Stanford Supplemental Application.
Invitations will be accompanied by directions for completing the Supplemental Application. We strongly suggest that you complete it as soon.
