    How to Successfully Complete Your SGU Medical School Application

    Once you make the decision that medicine is the right career path for you, your first step in the journey to becoming an MD is applying to medical schools. This is an exciting time, but for many completing medical school applications can seem daunting due to strict deadlines and tough timelines.

    With this in mind, St. George’s University’s School of Medicine has designed the application and admissions process to be as straightforward and supportive as possible for prospective students.

    What sets SGU’s application process apart?

    By offering a simple process, personalized support, and a holistic approach to reviewing applications, SGU’s application process is wholly centered on the student. With a focus on your individual potential, SGU’s med school application allows you to highlight your academic qualifications and emphasize your passion for medicine.

    The best part? SGU’s rolling admissions cycles and three different term starts means that you can start medical school when you are ready. This approach lifts the stress of traditional deadlines and stringent application cycles.

    “At SGU students have the flexibility to begin medical training in August, January, or April,” says Laura Bruno, dean of student enrollment at SGU. “We operate on a rolling admission cycle, which means our Faculty Student Selection Committee reviews applications and makes admissions decisions throughout the year. While there are no absolute med school application deadlines, we encourage students to submit their application as early as possible to be considered for the next term start.”

    SGU med school applications are more straightforward than you might think 

    Here are some tips to help you cross the finish line when applying to SGU’s School of Medicine.

    Reach out to our admissions team at admissions@sgu.edu for a link to the webinar.

    Applying to SGU was uncomplicated, according to Hannah Terefe, MD ’23, obstetrics & gynecology resident at Staten Island University Hospital in New York.

    “The admissions team was always available to answer my questions and made the process as seamless as possible. I was even able to use my AMCAS application and upload it directly to SGU’s portal. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience,” Dr. Terefe says.

    Submit your application when ready and send missing documents later

    SGU understands that gathering and submitting your supporting documents for your medical school application can take time. We want to make this process as smooth as possible for you. That’s why we offer flexibility throughout the application process to submit your additional documents. For example:

    “My admission process was very straightforward, which I really appreciated. Everything was well explained in the emails from the admissions team, and I was able to get answers very easily to all my questions,” says Elissa Bailey, MD ’22, an emergency medicine resident at MetroHealth in Cleveland, OH.

    The SGU admissions team is committed to guiding you every step of the way, offering personalized support tailored to your needs. From completing your online application to preparing for your admissions interview, the entire process is designed to be efficient and accessible.

    “I felt constantly supported by my admissions officer and took advantage of the opportunity to speak with an alumnus, which was very motivational when it came to getting everything completed. My admissions officer took the time to reach out to me personally, and the admissions team made themselves available for any questions I had,” says Sara Conway, MD ’24, a first-year pathology resident at NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island.

    What happens after you submit your SGU application?  

    Once you submit your SGU application, our team provides personalized updates and guidance to ensure you aren’t missing any documents and answering any questions you may have.

    Here’s what comes next after you submit your medical school application:

    1. Gather and submit supporting documents (e.g. transcripts, letters of recommendation, your personal statement).
    2. Schedule an interview with a member of the SGU admissions team. (Qualified candidates only)
    3. Receive your admissions decision, usually received within two weeks of your interview.
