Admissions Information

Admissions Requirements

Review the admissions requirements for details on how to apply to medical school and what you will need to complete your application. This checklist includes many of the things you will need: 

  • A completed Ross University School of Medicine application

  • Personal Statement
  • CV/ Resume

Three Start Dates

When do you submit your Ross University School of Medicine application? RUSM admits students three times a year: in January, May, and September. This means you aren't locked into a September start as you would be at many other medical schools. Instead, you have the freedom to start medical school when the time is right for you.

MCAT Exam

Applicants must take the MCAT to be considered for admission to RUSM. Research shows that the MCAT can be a reliable predictor of your potential success, both as a medical school student and as a physician. The exam tests your ability to translate fundamental medical school concepts into courses of action in real-world patient cases, and RUSM looks at your MCAT performance very closely when making a decision on your candidacy.

Keep in mind that RUSM considers the MCAT exam in concert with many other factors. You can get a better idea of your potential candidacy to RUSM by sending an email to an admissions colleague to discuss your personal situation.

Deposit Fee

After a student is accepted, a non-refundable deposit of $1,000 is required to reserve a seat in the class. This seat deposit is applied to tuition costs.

  • Initial Seat Deposit ($500): An initial deposit of $500 must be made within two weeks of acceptance to reserve a seat in class.
  • Final Seat Deposit ($500): A second seat deposit of $500 is required four months prior to enrollment.
  • Deposit deadlines change if acceptance is granted within four months of the term.

All fees are listed in U.S. currency and must be paid in U.S. dollars. All checks must be drawn from U.S. banks. Click here to pay your seat deposit online.

Please note: If either seat deposit is not received by the deadline, the seat for the term will be forfeited.

Applying to Medical School - FAQs

How much does it cost to apply to medical school?

There is no fee for submitting the Ross University School of Medicine application.

What medical schools should I apply to?

As medical school admissions criteria may vary slightly, it is important for applicants to become knowledgeable about each institution’s requirements prior to submitting an application and apply to the programs that best match their credentials.

How many medical schools should I apply to?

Applying to multiple schools of medicine may increase your chances of admission, but applying to several schools at once may lead to emotional stress because of the many details and requirements, and financial stress, as other schools charge application fees. Applicants should apply to the number of schools they can comfortably undertake without diminishing the quality of each application.

You may submit the Ross University School of Medicine application while preparing to take the MCAT exam.

Do I Need a Certain GPA to Apply to Medical School?

Good grades (particularly in prerequisite courses) are essential for gaining admission to medical school, but there is no exact grade point average (GPA) required. That said, the higher your GPA, the better your chances.
