OR Three individual letters of recommendation.

These letters may be from the premedical or research advisor, from professors at the institution where you last studied, from present or former employers, or from other individuals of the applicant's choice. The recommendations should address your suitability for the MD or MD/PhD program. We accept letters of recommendation sent electronically through VirtualEvals or Interfolio. Paper letters must be submitted from your institution or the individual letter writer. Letters submitted by applicants will not be considered.

3. Non-refundable application fee of $95 dollars.
