Online applications are accepted all year round for consideration for either fall or spring admission. Students may defer admission by one year. All admission decisions are made at the College of Medicine. A decision to accept you into the program will be made based on the sum of your prior coursework, cumulative GPA, standardized test scores (if provided), letters of recommendation and relevant research or professional experiences. For questions about how to apply to the program, please contact an enrollment counselor at duonline@drexel.edu.

What Happens After the Application Has Been Submitted?

Only complete applications are reviewed upon submission. Complete applications submitted by qualified applicants undergo a three-tier review process, which takes approximately one to two weeks to complete. The review process includes an interview in-person or virtually via Skype or other similar web-conferencing system. The most competitive applicants advance to the final stages of review.

While your application is being reviewed, please feel free to take advantage of our Online Test Drive and other virtual events.
