Applying to UT Southwestern MSTP

The UT Southwestern MSTP welcomes applications from all applicants regardless of state or country of residence or origin.  Application to UT Southwestern's MST Program requires completion of the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) On-Line Application. This application will permit you to submit essays describing your interest in the integrated M.D./Ph.D. program and is the only application form you must submit for the UT Southwestern MSTP. AMCAS will collect and forward additional supporting documents, including official transcripts & MCAT scores (GREs are not required).  Three or more letters of recommendation, including letters from all research mentors, should be sent to UT Southwestern MSTP via AMCAS Letters or other electronic submission service. Please ask referees to comment specifically on the nature of your project(s) and your potential as a research scientist.  Please note that the deadline for the AMCAS application is December 1, 2009 for admission to the entering class of 2010.

Under some circumstances, an applicant might want to be considered for BOTH UT Southwestern MSTP and the traditional MD-only program. If you are such a student, in addition to the AMCAS, you must complete the application for Texas Medical and Dental Schools (TMDSAS) and the UT Southwestern Medical School Secondary Application. Please see the Medical School Admissions Information webpage for more details.  Please note that TMDSAS will not forward letters of recommendation to AMCAS or vice-versa; applicants applying to both UT Southwestern MSTP and the traditional MD-only program should have letters sent to both services.
