Multifaceted review. Stated selection criteria include cumulative GPA, natural-science GPA and science credit hours, letters of recommendation, patient-contact experience (1,000 hours minimum required), community/military/civil service, conversational fluency in more than one language, completion of the recommended Biochemistry and Developmental Psychology courses, and interview performance. PREFERENCE is given to applicants who reside in Maryland and to graduates of a list of specified Maryland institutions. The program does not publish the relative weighting of these factors. Not rolling — one cohort is admitted per year (applications open April 30, close September 1; interviews in the fall).
