Admission Requirements
New York Medical College is a member of the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS). To be considered for admission, an applicant must file his or her application with AMCAS between June 1 and December 15 prior to the year of entry.
Upon receipt of the AMCAS applicant information, New York Medical College will email a login and password to access the secondary online application. All applicants receive a secondary application. It must be completed online by January 31. It is strongly recommended that you thoroughly review the selection criteria before submitting a secondary application.
Course and Degree Requirements
It is strongly recommended that applicants successfully complete undergraduate college work leading to a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college of arts and sciences in the United States or Canada. All courses offered in satisfaction of the requirements for admission must be taken in, or accepted as transfer credits by. This includes Advanced Placement courses taken in high school. The Admissions Committee has no preference for a major field of undergraduate study, but any college work submitted must include specified credits in chemistry, physics, biology and English. Science courses must include substantial laboratory work.
General Biology, 2 semesters or equivalent, with labs Inorganic or General Chemistry, 2 semesters or equivalent, with labs Organic Chemistry, 2 semesters or equivalent, with labs (one semester of Biochemistry with lab may be substituted for second semester organic chemistry or its equivalent). Physics, 2 semesters or equivalent, with labs English, 2 semesters or equivalent (or successful completion of the English requirements of your undergraduate institution’s requirement for graduation).

GPA
We do not have a minimum required GPA for entrance to our school.
MCAT
You must have taken the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) between January 2007 and September 2009. MCAT scores from tests taken prior to January 2007 will not be accepted.
Supporting Documents
Letters of evaluation with official letterhead must be submitted directly to AMCAS before January 31.
If your college has a premedical advisory committee, a letter of evaluation from the committee is preferred and will fulfill all undergraduate letter requirements. If your college does not have a premedical committee, letters of evaluation from three undergraduate professors including at least two from science courses (biology, chemistry, physics, biomedical engineering or bioengineering) are required. Math is not considered a science for purposes of letters of evaluation. The letters of evaluation must come from faculty who have taught you in class or have supervised independent research for which you have received credit toward your science GPA. One letter of evaluation must be from the department in which you majored (as identified in your AMCAS application), whether science or non-science. Employment references, personal references, and references from volunteer work are not a substitute for academic references but can be submitted as supplements to the required references.
If you have attended graduate school, we request the following letters in addition to the undergraduate letters described above and a letter from a faculty member in your department major is required. This must come from faculty who have taught you in class or have supervised independent research for which you have received credit. If the letter is from a science faculty, it can substitute for one undergraduate science letter. If you have just begun your graduate studies, or are in a non-degree program, you must submit one letter of evaluation from a faculty member whose graduate level class you attended or are attending this semester. This does not take the place of the two required undergraduate science letters.

Interview
After your application is complete, the New York Medical College Committee on Admissions selects, for personal interview, those applicants under serious consideration. Files are reviewed throughout the year, and all interviews are by invitation. Interviews are generally conducted from October through April and applicants may be invited at any time during that period.
The interview day program runs from 8:00 am to 1:15 pm. Applicants have one or two interviews. The second interviewer is frequently a fourth-year medical student. All interviewers are members of the Committee on Admissions.
Decisions are made on a rolling basis and we expect to notify applicants of our decision approximately ten weeks after the interview date, although it could take longer.
