FAQ

Please select a question to reveal the answer.

  1. Yes. We accept test scores achieved within the last 3 years.

  2. No.

  3. No. AMP admissions are done through Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, which is a completely separate entity from NYMC’s School of Medicine admissions office. It is not possible for this information to be transferred between offices. You must submit all of your application materials to the Graduate School.

  4. The minimum criteria for consideration is an overall undergraduate GPA of 3.1, including a 3.1 GPA in science and math courses, and a minimum total MCAT score ≥ the 70th percentile.

  6. The most up-to-date tuition information can be found on our website.

  7. No.

  8. Yes.

  9. Yes. You will be working with your advisory team to determine the most appropriate time to apply. Approximately 60% of our students apply during their AMP year, while the rest choose to take a gap year after the program has ended. We inform medical schools of students' enrollment in the program in the fall, and follow-up with a recommendation letter that includes current grades.

  10. Yes. We encourage students to explore this option as well.

  11. Please review our Conditional Admittance Linkage Agreement with the School of Medicine.

  12. Please review our Guaranteed Interview Agreement.

  13. Students matriculating into NYMC’s School of Medicine directly following the completion of the didactic portion of the AMP may or may not be required to re-take a number of the first year classes, depending on their academic achievements in the AMP program.

  14. More than 85% of our students have been admitted to medical schools across the country.

  15. Students with this Master’s degree may apply to other professional programs, a PhD degree program, or pursue a career in the health care industry.

  16. Many of our students use this gap year to work while studying for the MCAT exam. Students re-taking the MCAT after completing the didactic portion of the AMP have performed significantly better, allowing them to leverage these scores to gain entrance to medical school. Alternatively, students may choose to pursue other professional programs.

  17. No. Pre-dental students follow a separate curriculum than medical students.

  18. An advisory team is assigned to each student and works with you from the moment you are accepted into the program. Advising takes on many forms, including personal statement critiques, interviewing tips, letter writing, as well as academic support and career planning.
