MD Admissions | NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine | NYU Langone Health

MD Admissions

We take a comprehensive approach to our admissions process and welcome candidates from a broad range of backgrounds and life experiences.

Our mission is to develop preeminent physician leaders through scholarship and innovative medical education design anchored by the principles of primary care and health systems science. We seek to enroll students from a broad range of backgrounds, life experiences, and perspectives who demonstrate a commitment to future practice in primary care disciplines such as internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology or general surgery. Candidates interested in family medicine are also encouraged to apply. Meet some of our students.

Three-Year Accelerated Curriculum

Our innovative, rigorous three-year accelerated MD curriculum is geared toward exceptionally qualified students who excel in a team-oriented learning environment that promotes self-directed active learning, engaged scholarship, and innovative thinking.

Directed Pathway to Residency

To streamline entry into the primary care disciplines, upon acceptance to the medical school candidates are also offered a directed pathway into selected primary care residency programs at NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island in the fields of internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology or general surgery.

As part of NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine’s secondary application, applicants specify which of these four residency tracks they wish to be considered for. Careful consideration is given to applicants’ pre-medical foundational experiences and the insights they have gained which have informed their residency track choice. Upon acceptance, candidates are notified that they will be ranked to match into their specified residency program through participation in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) during their final year of medical school, contingent on satisfactory academic progress. and on meeting professional standards while in medical school. This positions students to match at NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island should they choose to rank this program.

Note: Candidates interested in family medicine may apply to NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine via the internal medicine track and are successfully positioned to match outside the directed pathway to residency option to top-tier family medicine residency programs across the country. Learn more about our students matching into family medicine residencies.

Full-Tuition and Debt-Free Scholarships

All enrolled students are awarded three-year Full-Tuition Scholarships regardless of need or merit so long as they continue to make satisfactory academic progress and professional standards during medical school. Additional Debt-Free Scholarships are offered to qualified students who have demonstrated financial need to help pay for the costs of attendance that exceed tuition.

Comprehensive Admissions Approach

Our comprehensive admissions approach enables us to broaden the lens through which we learn about our applicants and to better assess how their premedical experiences, personal attributes, and academic metrics align with our primary care mission and innovative three-year accelerated educational program that streamlines students’ entry into clinical practice. We are also interested in learning more about the life journeys of our applicants, any challenges they may have faced along their path, and how they hope to contribute to the medical profession and  our community of engaged learners.

All eligible candidates who align with the medical school’s primary care mission are welcome to apply. We encourage applications from first-generation college students, individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, those who may have pursued another career in healthcare (e.g. physician assistant, nurse practitioner, etc.) or taken a non-traditional path toward medicine as well as those who have ties to the communities served by the medical school.
