Submit recommendation letters. The Office of Medical School Admissions will accept only letters of recommendation that have been received and processed through AMCAS. The AMCAS web page has detailed instructions on how to submit letters. Applicants have two options to complete the letters of recommendation requirement: • A packet from the applicant’s undergraduate, graduate or post-baccalaureate prehealth or premedical office, or a career services office • Four individual letters, two of which must be from science faculty members

The admissions office makes interview invitations to applicants via email. After a date is set, applicants will receive information regarding lodging, local travel and other pertinent information. The interview day includes interviewing with school constituents (faculty, students, clinical partners and community volunteers); meeting the associate dean for admissions and chair of the admissions committee; an overview of the curriculum, financial aid and student affairs; a campus tour; and lunch with current students.
STEP FIVE All offers of admission are made electronically, followed by a written letter sent via U.S. mail, typically within four to six weeks of interviewing. All admitted applicants must sign an agreement stating they are capable of complying with the technical standards of the school. The technical standards are available at www.quinnipiac.edu/medicine/technical. Offers of admission are conditional pending the completion and review of a criminal background check.
