Supplemental Applications: The Doctor of Medicine is the only program that requires a $100 supplemental application fee. The admissions office will review primary applications, and qualified applicants will be notified via email to submit a supplemental application.
Official Transcripts: Applicants must submit all official transcripts for all institutions attended to the CAS systems. Degree awarding transcripts must indicate the date the degree was conferred. Transcripts with in-progress grades must be resubmitted once the grades have finally been posted.
Grade Point Average: All degree-seeking, certificate, and non-degree applicants must have a baccalaureate degree and/or graduate degree from a regionally accredited college or university and meet the program minimum grade point average (GPA) on a 4.00 scale. Applicants who do not meet the minimum program GPA requirement may be considered on a case-by-case basis by the program director.
Academic and Professional References: Degree-seeking applicants must provide two letters of recommendation except for the following programs, which require three letters of recommendation - Biomedical Sciences, Ph.D., Doctor of Medicine, Reproductive Clinical Sciences, Ph.D., Pathologists’ Assistant, and Physician Assistant. The letters of recommendation and/or forms must be completed by faculty at colleges attended by the applicant who is familiar with the student’s academic and research capabilities and who is qualified to judge (e.g., supervisor) the applicant’s potential to complete the graduate program successfully. References from close friends and family members are unacceptable. Premedical Advisory Committee letters and Interfolio letters are also accepted. The letters of recommendation are part of the electronic application and may vary by the CAS system. If a recommendation form is submitted on paper, it must be received by the Admissions & Enrollment Office in a sealed envelope with the recommender’s signature written across the envelope flap. The Admissions & Enrollment Office may accept letters of recommendation for the School of Health Professions via email at hpadmissions@evms.edu. Graduate Certificate applicants are not required to submit letters of recommendation.
Prerequisite Courses: Specific programs require prerequisite courses to be completed prior to enrolling. Applicants are encouraged to review the prerequisite requirements on the program of interest homepage.
Personal Statement: Applicants are required to submit a personal statement about their interests and future goals with their application. Applicants are encouraged to review the personal statement requirements before applying.
Resume: A resume or curriculum vitae may be required by some programs.
