Interviews
The MU School of Medicine receives more than 2,500 applications every year. After an initial screening, applicants who are seriously being considered are invited for interviews. In general, applicants to the MD-PhD program will have a medical school interview and separate graduate school interviews.
The School of Medicine plans to offer 400 interview slots for the entering class of 2025. It is possible that more slots may be available; however, applicants are strongly advised to complete their applications early. Consideration for interview slots will be conducted on a rolling basis as applications are received.
All interviews will be virtual per recommendation of the AAMC. Students who are offered interviews will receive information about how to connect and prepare for their interview day from the Admissions Office.
