Application Procedures

The Resident Selection Committee evaluates each applicant's personal statement, Medical School Performance Evaluation, letters of recommendation, and USMLE scores (preferably 80 and above on the first attempt).  This evaluation, along with the committee's interpretation of the applicant's desire to become a pediatrician, determines which applicants are invited for interviews.  Interviews will be scheduled November 1st through January 15th.
