Three Steps to Apply to Ross Med
Take the MCAT and Review Requirements
First things first: Review our admission requirements to make sure you have everything you need. You should also take the Medical College Admission Test® (MCAT®) before applying—though it is possible to add your MCAT scores after submitting an application to Ross Med.
Complete the RUSM Application
If you’ve already started an application through the American Medical College Application Service® (AMCAS®), the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine® Application Service (AACOMAS), the Texas Medical and Dental Schools Application Service (TMDSAS), or the Ontario Medical School Application Service (OMSAS), we make it easy to upload your common application to the Ross Med portal.
Send Supplemental Documents
It’s likely that you’ll have some supplemental documents to submit after your online application is finished, such as official transcripts. Send those to Ross Med when they’re available, and your application will be complete.

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.
