Admission requirements
Candidates should complete at least three years of post-secondary study at a U.S. or Canadian college or university, earn a bachelor's degree, and pursue broad study in the sciences and humanities that supports the scientific basis of medicine and understanding of human behaviour and society. Prerequisites must be completed by matriculation. Geisel requirements Geisel FAQ
The MCAT is required with a minimum score of 503; applicants scoring 502 or below are not sent a secondary. For 2027 entry, accepted MCAT dates are January 2024 through September 2026. Geisel looks most closely at the most recent MCAT while also viewing other attempts. Geisel requirements Geisel FAQ
If a premedical committee is available, Geisel requires its composite recommendation or packet. Individual-letter applicants submit three to five letters; a science-faculty letter and a letter addressing clinical experience are encouraged, and graduate applicants are encouraged to include a thesis-advisor letter. AP credit shown on the transcript, accredited online courses and community-college courses may satisfy prerequisites; prerequisite courses normally must be graded. Geisel requirements Geisel FAQ
International and DACA applicants are eligible. International applicants must meet the premedical requirements, including three years of U.S. or Canadian post-secondary study. The current accessible admissions text says specific course requirements are listed but does not render the actual subject table; those subjects should be confirmed directly on the live page or with Admissions before publication.
Important dates

For 2027 entry, the accepted MCAT window is January 2024 through September 2026. Geisel requirements

How selection works
Geisel uses holistic review across personal, academic, scientific and community-engagement considerations. It values intellectual curiosity, integrity, empathy, compassion, resilience, ability to overcome obstacles, distance travelled, coachability, lifelong learning, academic foundation, life experience and contribution to the school's mission and learning environment. Geisel requirements
All applicants with an MCAT of 503 or higher may access the secondary, but completion does not ensure an interview. The school reports roughly 8,000 completed applications for 96 places and a current profile of 661 interviewed applicants; these are descriptive, not selection thresholds. Geisel requirements Why Geisel
The current public pages do not publish component weights, an academic-screen formula, group-exercise weight, interview scoring rubric or final committee formula.
Interview details
Confirmed
Interviews run from August through March, take place on Thursdays by invitation and are virtual. The day begins with a welcome and admissions information session, followed by a 20-minute group exercise. In the afternoon, applicants complete two 30-minute interviews with Admissions Committee members, followed by closing remarks. Opportunities to meet current students occur separately. Geisel FAQ
Not published
The current official pages do not publish the group-exercise prompt type, interview question categories, preparation time, interviewer file access, scoring rubric, group-exercise or interview weight, assessor-calibration process or final score-combination formula.
Who this program may suit
Geisel may suit applicants seeking a small national medical class and a learning environment that emphasizes curiosity, empathy, resilience, community engagement and broad life experience. International and DACA applicants are considered in the same pool, subject to the published educational requirements. Geisel requirements Geisel FAQ
The virtual day combines collaborative group work with two committee conversations, so preparation should include listening, building on others' ideas and explaining personal experiences clearly. These are format-based preparation choices, not predictions of admission.
Practice and next step
Record one response to the featured scenario. State the decision problem, identify missing facts, consider the people affected and explain a fair, workable next step.
Review one weakness, such as dominating the reasoning, failing to acknowledge uncertainty or not explaining the trade-off. Record the response again with one adjustment and compare both attempts. Then practise the same scenario as a short collaborative discussion: summarize another person's point before adding your own. Use the official invitation for exact interview-day instructions.
