Tufts University School of Medicine

Admission statistics

---

Admission process notes:
Applicants must complete a Secondary Application (Tufts School of Medicine does not disqualify any applicants at this stage.)

---

Requirements notes:
Applicants must submit a minimum of either: Three individual letters (we do not specify the nature of the authors) that will arrive at the admissions office separately. A “package” of letters that will arrive from the applicant’s undergraduate or post-baccalaureate school’s premedical office or career-services office. The nature of the “package” varies greatly from school to school. Some schools write an official premedical committee letter and append individual letters; some schools write “composite” letters which refer to and quote individual letters; some schools simply collect, collate, and distribute individual letters. We accept all variations. We do not have a maximum limit on the number of letters you may submit. However, in general, applicants submit between 3-5 letters.

Tufts School of Medicine applicants must take the Medical College Admissions Test within five years preceding enrollment.
