Stony Brook's Scholars for Medicine Program is an integrated eight-year Bachelor's/M.D. course of study offered to a very select group of fall freshman applicants admitted into the Honors College and Women In Science and Engineering (WISE) program. While completing their undergraduate studies, students participate in medical school classes and activities.
Students accepted into the Scholars for Medicine Program are guaranteed a seat in the School of Medicine at Stony Brook University upon graduation provided they:
- Complete their Honors College or WISE Program of study
- Complete all required pre-medical courses
- Maintain a minimum 3.4 GPA
- Successfully complete the MCAT with an above average score
Applicants to Scholars for Medicine are notified in March whether they have been admitted to the Honors College or WISE and, if so, whether or not they have been recommended for review by the School of Medicine at Stony Brook University. If recommended for review by the School of Medicine, they will be notified within a couple of weeks whether or not they will be offered an interview. Final decisions are usually made prior to April 1.
Minimum Requirements for Consideration: GPA of 95 (or 3.8), and a combined SAT Math and Critical Reading score of 1350 or higher (Applicants are strongly advised to provide SAT scores instead of ACT scores when applying for the Scholars for Medicine program). Candidates must also have documentation of U.S. citizenship or permanent residency in the United States.
Note: Students may only apply for one of the following programs: Scholars for Medicine, Engineering Scholars for Medicine, or Scholars for Dental Medicine.
