Frequently Asked Questions

§   Does your address not need a street number?

No, the medical center has its own zip code. If you will include the last four digit zip code – 1090 – it will come directly to us.

All communication can be sent to:

Office of Medical Student Admissions
Medical Center Blvd.
Winston-Salem, NC 27157-1090

§   What recommendations do you require?

We prefer a premed committee report, if your school has one. If not, we ask for two letters of recommendation from professors, one from science, and one from non science. If your school uses a letter service, we will accept that. If you have graduated and are in graduate school or work, we prefer a letter from the graduate program or supervisor. AMCAS collects the letters of recommendation for us.

§   If my school uses a letter service, which number should I check on the secondary application?

Choose 7. A. and state “letter service”. If you know the person signing the cover letter you may put that on there but it is not necessary.

§   Do you accept international students?

No, please click on International Applications on the menu for information.

§   Do you accept AP credit for required science courses?

We will accept AP credit for required science courses if you have taken upper level science courses at a four year school. In other words, we don’t accept AP credit stand alone.
