There is no deadline to apply to CMU due to its rolling admissions, however prospective students should plan on completing their application 2-4 months prior to the semester they are seeking. Semesters start in the first week of January, May and September.
To apply for admission to Caribbean Medical University, prospective students must submit the following items:
- A completed application form available online or in a PDF format.
- A non-refundable Application Fee of U.S. $75 payable to Caribbean Medical University.
- Two passport size color photos (2" x 2"). If you are using the print format, please affix the photo to the Application Form.
- Official transcript(s) are to be sent in an official sealed envelope directly from the college or university to the Office of Admission, not to the campus. Premedical Science Applicants send High School Diploma. Notarized copies of original transcripts from non-U.S. schools may be submitted when official transcripts are not readily available. However, official transcripts must follow the notarized copies prior to review by the Admissions Committee.
- Two official Letters of Recommendation (LOR). The LOR must be on official letterhead stationary and must be signed. At least one LOR must be from a college professor unless the applicant is in the workforce and has no recent academic history. You may have letters sent on your behalf from employers, medical colleagues and other advisors. All letters must be sent directly to the Admissions Office by the mail.
- A Brief Resume along with personal comments regarding your medical career expectation typed on one letter-sized page (8½ x 11). In concise terms, summarize the development of your interest in medicine, your goals in pursuing a medical career, and your personal attributes that qualify you to be a physician. Please limit your resume to 750 words.
- MCAT scores are optional for admission to CMU. However If available, the Applicants should request the MCAT scores to be sent directly from the testing agency to CMU's Office of Admission. Applicants without MCAT should have strong letters of recommendation and satisfy the Admissions Committee that they possess strong motivation to study medicine.
- TOEFL (Test Of English as a Foreign Language) or IELTS (International English Language Testing System) scores if the Applicant's native language is not English.
Please Note: All documents forwarded to the Admission Office become a property of Caribbean Medical University.
Within two weeks of acceptance notification, a student must submit a signed Acknowledgment of Admission along with a $ 1,000 (one thousand) non-refundable deposit in order to reserve a seat in the class.
