A Transparent Approach
Our approach includes a holistic review, responsiveness to your questions and a transparency that means you'll always know where you are in the process.
We embrace those who work hard to make the world a better place with their whole altruistic and authentic selves. Everything you need to know about our process for selecting the next entering class is right here, starting with our commitment to create an opportunity for you to thrive to your fullest. Our program is designed to launch your impact in medicine and patient care while you train with us.
At the University of Michigan, our dedication to academic excellence is inseparable from our commitment to DEI, as outlined in the University’s 2024 statement. Each individual’s experience and perspective fold into our collective learning, enhancing the educational environment while enriching a more diverse, equitable and inclusive legacy.
Our holistic review reflects a broad definition of those underrepresented in medicine such as those with disabilities, those who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, economically disadvantaged, or first generation in their family to go to college, to name a few.
Once you apply, our transparent approach to admissions means you’ll always know where you are in the process. Along the way, we'll do our best to answer your questions so you can make an informed decision, too.
Through Get to Know Blue — the virtual interview experience at Michigan — you'll connect with a diverse group of people from our Medical School community who are passionate about what they do and the path they have followed.
In M1 year, you'll work with standardized patients and engage in dissection-based anatomy. Core rotations kick off unparalleled clinical training in M2 year, with electives and other options to hone skills in M3/M4 years.
Every admitted student is eligible for an Admissions scholarship, and approximately 50% of our medical students receive some form of gift aid including scholarships and/or grants.
Our admissions process is highly transparent — we let you know early and often about where you stand.

Every entering class is carefully selected to include in- and out-of-state students with diverse backgrounds and life experiences so you can learn and grow together.
