Graduate Work

Those applicants with a completed and conferred graduate degree at the time of application will receive the following advantage on the formula determining likelihood of invitation to interview:

Master's Degree holders: +0.01; PhD Degree holders: +0.04

Based on past years' experience, this will provide a significant, albeit not decisive, advantage for graduate degree holders.

The above advantage will not be applied unless the graduate degree conferred by the application deadline. Individual grades received for course work taken as part of a graduate degree will not be included in the calculation of the grade point average.

Graduate students enrolled in a graduate program at the time of application must arrange for their Supervisor, a member of their Supervisory Committee, or the Chair of the Department to provide a letter indicating they are aware the applicant is intending to apply to medical school. Applicants must arrange for this letter to be received at OMSAS by the application deadline. If your Graduate supervisor is one of your referees, a second letter is not required.
