Admissions

NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine's 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. The school seeks to enroll students from a broad range of backgrounds, life experiences, and perspectives who demonstrate a commitment to future practice in the primary care disciplines of internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, and general surgery. Candidates interested in family medicine are also encouraged to apply. The school utilizes a comprehensive admissions approach which broadens the lens by which the program can learn about applicants and better assess how their premedical experiences, personal attributes, and academic metrics align with the school’s primary care mission and innovative three-year accelerated educational program that streamlines students’ entry into clinical practice. The school is also interested in learning more about the life journeys of applicants, any challenges they may have faced along their path, and how they hope to contribute to the medical profession. 

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