Application Information

The application deadline for the clinical program is December 1.

Following initial application review, members of the clinical faculty call top-rated applicants for phone or Zoom interviews. Following these initial connections, some applicants are invited (early to mid-February) to participate in a more comprehensive set of interviews. All interviews are conducted remotely and are scheduled by invitation only.

Our admissions process involves interviews with clinical faculty that may take place on interview day, or at any time between then and the universal decision date of April 15. Offers of admission will be extended after the mid-February interview day. Applications are under consideration until applicants are otherwise notified.
