SCHOOL OF 2012-2013 - St. George's University

Admission
The School of Medicine begins classes in mid-August and mid-January
of each year. The Committee on Admission utilizes a rolling admission
policy in the School of Medicine; therefore, applications are accepted
and reviewed on an ongoing basis. The final deadline for receipt
of applications and all supporting documentation is June 15 of the
current year for the August class, and November 15 of the preceding
year for the January class. Prospective candidates should note that
entering classes are highly competitive and applications completed
early have the advantage of being reviewed at the beginning of the
admission process. The time necessary to secure official transcripts,
standardized test scores, and letters of recommendation should be
taken into consideration. The Committee reserves the right to defer an
application to the following semester if there are no available seats.
St. George’s University does not discriminate based on race, color,
sex, age, or disability. Please contact University Counsel to report a
suspected infraction of this policy.
All Applicants
Applicants are advised that the Committee on Admission requires
an academic indicator (completed coursework or examination
score) within the three years prior to application. North American
applicants are advised that MCAT scores may be used as a recent
academic indicator.
