HOW TO APPLY

• Complete and submit your application on AMCAS.
• Select Brigham Young University School of Medicine when choosing schools. 
• Submit all required transcripts, letters of recommendation, and MCAT scores.

You are required to submit either:

1. A minimum of two letters and a maximum of three letters of recommendation. One letter must be from a science faculty member familiar with your academic work.

OR

2. One pre-health/medical committee letter or paragraph.

We strongly recommend you seek letters from individuals who know you well and can speak meaningfully about your experiences, strengths, and readiness for the practice of medicine.

These letters may come from a healthcare professional with whom you have worked with over a period of time, a college/university faculty member, or an employment or volunteer supervisor who can assess your work ethic and experience.

Letters must be on letterhead and signed.

Once your verified AMCAS application is received and reviewed, eligible applicants will be invited to complete the secondary application. Applicants who receive a secondary application will be asked to:

• Submit three additional essay responses.
• Pay the secondary application fee ($50, non-refundable).
• Complete the BYU Honor Code Commitment.
• Complete an Ecclesiastical Endorsement.

Additional details and instructions will be sent by email.

If you’re experiencing financial hardship, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) may waive your AMCAS application fee through the AAMC Fee Assistance Program.

Fee waivers are given based on prior qualifications set by the AAMC when an applicant completes their AMCAS. If the AAMC deems that an applicant qualifies for a fee waiver, BYU will receive a notification and the system will automatically waive the secondary application fee.
