Admissions | We accept applications through the PostBac Centralized Application System (PostBacCAS). The cohort matriculates in May of each year. |
Application due dates align with PostBacCAS's deadlines which can be located here: https://tinyurl.com/yc6rse8t. Applications should be completed (e-submitted, with all payments, transcripts, and two letters of recommendations received) at least four weeks in advance of the PostBacCAS verification deadline to ensure that the application is verified on time. | |
Given the rolling nature of the admissions process, all applicants are strongly encouraged to submit completed applications earlier in the cycle. | |
Applying for Admission | Applicants to the GW Post-Baccalaureate Pre-med Program must complete and submit two applications by the application deadline. Please find below IMPORTANT instructions for completing the two required applications: |
-As a first step, create your standard online application on the PostBacCAS (PostBac Central Application Service). IMPORTANT: You must create your PostBacCAS application first as the Supplemental GW online application requires that you enter your unique PostBacCAS ID number. | |
-As a second step, complete the Supplemental GW Online Application, found at https://gw.force.com. | |
You will create an account so that you may work on your application over a period of time. When completing the GW Supplemental Online Application, please select "Undergraduate" from the program type dropdown menu and "Pre-Medicine" from the field of study menu. Please select “Virginia Science and Technology Campus” when the application prompts you for the campus you plan to attend. | |
Application Fee | The fee for PostBacCAS is based upon the number of programs the applicant designates. The supplemental, non-refundable GW application fee is $60. The GW fee is waived only for the following applicants: |
-U.S. military personnel who have been on active duty within three years of submitting their application for admission | |
-GW alumni (those holding a GW degree or graduate certificate) | |
-Current degree or graduate certificate candidates at GW | |
-Current McNair Program Scholars | |
