In order to maintain our standards of excellence, applicants should score ≥ 235 on Step 2 CK and must pass Step 2CS (all exams must be passed on the first attempt). While these criteria are not set in stone, they strongly influence our decisions.

Applicants from osteopathic medical schools (DO) from the US can submit COMLEX scores but they will also need to submit at least the USMLE step 2 CK scores for their file to be reviewed.

All applications are accepted exclusively through ERAS and the match will be exclusively through the NRMP program. We do not offer “pre-match”. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed until all documents are uploaded to ERAS. We suggest that you get all required documents in to ERAS as soon as possible in order to ensure that your file is reviewed as early in the season as possible.

Required Documents:

  • Current USMLE scores
  • Curriculum vitae (CV)
  • Personal statement
  • 3-4 letters of recommendation
  • Medical school transcript
  • MSPE from your medical school
  • Photo

We sponsor both J1 and H1B visas. Please note however, that applicants with H-1 visas must pass USMLE Step 3 prior to Match Day or we will need to apply for a J1 visa to ensure timely start for residency. Please click here for more details on Visa sponsorship.

We receive approximately 5,000 applications each year.  Due to the large volume of applications that we review, it is not always possible for us to contact all applicants immediately. We usually interview about 8% of these applicants. Please do not call with questions or to ask about the status of your application. If you are selected for an interview, you will be notified by email.

Thank you for your interest in our program and best of luck with your residency applications!
