Admission

All applicants require approval of eligibility from the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid before completing the application process. Contact MDPhD_Admissions@brown.edu to obtain approval. Once approved, applicants other than those currently enrolled Alpert medical students must complete and submit both the AMCAS application and the MD/PhD Program online secondary application (with accompanying fees). Currently enrolled Alpert Medical School students complete only the MD/PhD online secondary application (with accompanying fee).

Candidates for admission also must submit either one composite recommendation from their undergraduate school's premedical committee or three individual letters of recommendation from their premedical or research advisor, professors at the institution where they last studied or other individuals of the applicant's choice.

We accept letters of recommendation sent electronically through VirtualEvals or Interfolio. Paper letters must be submitted directly from the institution or the individual letter writer.

MCAT scores also are required for non-medical students and non-PLME applicants.

Individuals who are not US citizens or permanent US residents may apply. However, funding for international students is limited.
