BSc/MD Dual Degree Program Admission

Students interested in the BS/MD degree must submit an application to the Office of the University Registrar and the Office of Premedical Sciences during their first term of enrollment.  Students who enter the third year of Premedical Sciences directly (e.g., with A-levels or Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination [CAPE]) cannot earn a BS degree without spending additional semesters in the program.

In addition to the professional application, applicants must submit the graduate addendum insert that accompanies the application.  Once a candidate is offered admission into the professional program, the Committee on Admission will evaluate the potential for success in the dual program and render an admission decision based on the information provided.

Admission Process

The Office of Admission will acknowledge receipt of the candidate’s application within two weeks of its arrival.  A candidate is informed of any more required supporting documents missing at that time. A candidate will receive notice when the application file is complete. Within a month after receipt of the complete application and supporting documentation, the application will be reviewed to determine whether an interview will be granted.

The Office of Admission encourages candidates who have been approved for an interview to request interviews in Grenada and will schedule one upon the applicant’s request. The University recognizes that financial considerations may prevent many candidates who reside at great distances from Grenada from choosing this option. Interviews, therefore, may be conducted in the United States, the United Kingdom, Africa, the Middle East, the Far East, the Caribbean or other locations that best serve the diverse applicant pool.

Candidates are advised that being granted an interview is no guarantee of acceptance; the interview itself plays a significant part in the decision by the Committee on Admission.

A student’s acceptance into the School of Medicine is granted upon the presumption by the Committee on Admission that: (1) All courses currently being taken by the applicant will be completed prior to registration.(2) All statements made by the applicant during the admission process, whether oral, written, or in submission of academic documentation, are true and correct. If it is subsequently discovered that false or inaccurate information was submitted, the University may nullify a candidate’s acceptance or, if the student is registered, dismiss the student.

The Health Care form must be completed before registration.  Within three weeks of acceptance notification, a student must submit a signed Acknowledgment of Admission along with a non-refundable tuition deposit in order to reserve a seat in the class.
