N.C. A&T-George Washington University School of Medicine Early Selection Scholars Program Application
is LIVE!
PURPOSE
The study of medicine is enriched by diversity, including interests and educational experiences. A broad liberal arts education offers a student wider opportunities to develop academic and inter and intra personal competencies. The ESSP gives talented and committed students who have achieved academic distinction and present significant clinical experience the ability to pursue non-science coursework in more depth, as well as the opportunity for more focused high impact experiences. Students will also receive provisional early assurance of admission to the GWSMHS M.D. program. All students must have a letter of presentation from their premedical advisor, in addition to two individual letters of recommendation. We require that students who are chosen for Early Selection creatively modify the traditional premedical curriculum. Students may select any major. However, students who declare a science major must also select a non-science minor. Students already intending on a non-science major will have the freedom to pursue a rigorous, liberal education, while completing the minimal premedical requirements. We hope that undergraduates will find these less-typical premedical curricula exciting and beneficial to them long after they have completed medical school.
