APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

1. A non-refundable application fee of U.S. $75.00.
2. Two official Letters of Recommendation (LOR)
   • The LOR must be on official letterhead stationery and signed by the recommender.
   • At least one LOR must be from a college professor unless the applicant has been in the workforce for at least two years and has no recent academic history. The academic recommendation should be from a science professor who is acquainted with the applicant's academic ability. A Pre-health Committee recommendation package from your college or university will satisfy this requirement.
   • You may also want to have letters sent on your behalf from employers, medical colleagues and other advisors; all letters must be mailed directly to the Admissions Office.
   • A dean's letter is required only in cases where an applicant has been dismissed from another medical school for non-academic reasons.
3. An official transcript from each undergraduate, graduate, medical, and/or professional school attended. These must be mailed directly from the institution to AUA’s New York representative in a sealed envelope.
4. An official report of scores on the TOEFL or IELTS (for applicants whose academic background has been substantially in languages other than English).
5. The personal statement:
   • This must be typed in 11-point Arial font (or something similar) with 1.5 line spacing.
   • It should be no less than one page and no more than two pages in length.
   • You should use this essay to explain your reasons for considering a career in medicine, what makes you a potential asset to AUA and any significant accomplishments or additional information that you feel would be useful to the Admissions Committee in evaluating your application.
   • Plagiarism is an academic offense and will disqualify you from consideration.
6. A current resume or CV.
7. A passport-size photo
