Highlights of the University Scholars Program in Medicine
- You apply for admission to Washington University both for your chosen undergraduate degree program and to medical school. (We realize your plans may change, in which case you would not be required to attend medical school.)
Finalists come to campus in the spring of their senior year of high school for interviews with representatives from our undergraduate divisions and from the School of Medicine. - If you are selected as a University Scholar in Medicine, you gain admission to undergraduate and graduate study at the same time, as long as you successfully complete your undergraduate studies.
- A mentor from the School of Medicine helps guide you even as an undergraduate.
- You will be invited to special lectures and other events held by the School of Medicine.
- If you are interested, you can engage in research as an undergraduate.
- You receive personal pre-professional advising.
- You may have an opportunity to “shadow” a medical student or physician.
- If you change your mind and decide not to attend medical school, you still have lots of great choices for an outstanding education.
