Admission to Advanced Standing

Because the educational programs in medicine differ from one school to another, admission to advanced standing occurs infrequently and usually not later than the end of the second year. The College will not admit a student who has been dropped from the rolls of another medical school for poor scholarship or for disciplinary reasons. Students seeking admission to advanced standing should write to the Office of the Dean for specific requirements and admissions procedures. 

Early Entrance Program.

The Early Entrance Medical Education Program shortens the period of professional training by permitting entrance of selected applicants from the second-and third-year undergraduate levels of colleges and universities. Early entrants are expected to matriculate in the traditional four-year professional program.
