How the formal pathway works
Admission route
Applicants apply to a specific GPILS PhD programme; doctoral degrees are awarded by the Graduate School rather than the School of Medicine. Applications include a one-page personal statement on research interests and fit with faculty, a CV, transcripts and three references; GRE requirements vary by programme.
Funding check
GPILS states a commitment to fund students in their first year and to make every effort to fund later years as resources permit; a $75 application fee applies per programme. Verify current funding terms with the specific programme.
