Get an Earlier Decision When You Apply to Michigan State University for Medical School

MSU College of Human Medicine has partnered with Michigan Tech to provide early assurance of medical school admission (February as opposed to June) for selected Michigan Tech Pre-Health Program students! The MSU Early Assurance Program (EAP) program is for undergraduate students interested in becoming a physician in an underserved region or students interested in working with the underserved population.
Juniors and Seniors are open to apply. Preference for EAP admission will be given to Michigan Tech students who are the first generation in their families to attend college, or graduated from a low-income high school, are eligible for need-based grants, and to those who express interest in a high-need medical specialty area. Students will be selected for interviews in March and can be accepted as early as July.
