2012-13 is now open

California Post Baccalaureate Consortium application

 

The UCSF School of Medicine offers a comprehensive, structured post baccalaureate graduate certificate program designed for individuals who have been unsuccessful in gaining admission to medical school or who have completed the required undergraduate course work, but feel they need more background before initiating the medical school application process. We are interested in individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds or underserved communities.*

The UCSF program is designed to help individuals increase their chances of gaining admission to medical school by offering intensive MCAT review, assistance with medical school application preparation, science courses at UC Berkeley Extension, seminars on health care issues in underserved communities, and academic skills workshops. The program begins in June each year and is 11 months in duration. It will be limited to 8 individuals in 2011-2012.


Application

We cannot provide application status by phone. All applicants will be notified by June 1, 2012.

Application for first-time applicants is now closed

Final deadline for re-applicants: May 15, 2012

The California Postbaccalaureate Consortium Program Application is a common application that can be used for UCSF and for the UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Los Angeles, UC Riverside, and UC San Diego post baccalaureate programs.

In addition to submitting a complete online California Post Baccalaureate Consortium application (you must complete all required fields), you must submit supporting materials, which include letters of recommendation, college transcripts, and if you are a reapplicant, a copy of your processed AMCAS application to the centralized service. This centralized service will distribute copies of your materials to UCSF.

Send supporting materials to:
 UC Postbaccalaureate Consortium
 UC Davis School of Medicine
 CTSC Annex Building, Suite 1103
