After Applying

Check the online application system to ensure that your documents and references have been marked as received and your application is complete by the deadline.

The Admissions Committee will notify you in early February if you have been selected for an interview. If distance and/or expense prevents you from attending an interview in person, a telephone or Skype interview may be arranged.

Interviews are either full-morning (9 am to 1 pm) or full-afternoon (12 noon to 4 pm) and include a 30-minute Interpersonal Skills interview, a 30-minute Science interview and a 60-minute written test. There are two, occasionally three, interviewers present at each interview. The written test takes places in the MBiotech Boardroom, Room DV2071. The morning and afternoon interviewees will have an opportunity to ask questions of current MBiotech students over a light lunch and brief tour.

If you have been notified that you have been selected for an interview, please download the Interview Selection Sheet (instructions will be sent via email).

A total of 40 students will be accepted into the program in 2013. Decisions are based on the analysis and recommendation of the Admissions Committee.
