The first step in applying to our MSTP is to submit an initial application with the required transcripts and MCAT scores to the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS), indicating an interest in the MD-PhD dual-degree. The latest date for submission of the AMCAS application is November 1. The deadline for submitting transcripts to AMCAS is November 15.
In addition, applicants must submit both the Einstein MD Secondary Application and the MSTP Supplementary Application. As part of the Einstein MSTP Supplementary Application, applicants submit a supplemental essay. The MSTP Supplementary Application also asks that two confidential letters of reference from past research mentors be submitted directly to the MSTP office. All application materials must be received by the admissions office by December 1. Early submission is strongly recommended as we have a rolling admissions process.
If you have any questions, please contact the MSTP office at (718) 430-2128 or e-mail Maria Alamo, MSTP Program Coordinator, at

Completed applications are reviewed by the MSTP Steering Committee as they are received. As such, it is essential that supplementary materials be submitted without delay. Those applicants whose training and performance qualify them for further consideration are invited to visit Einstein for an interview. The interview day begins with breakfast followed by a general meeting with the program director. The rest of the day consists of two formal interviews with members of the steering committee and a series of informal meetings with faculty of the applicant’s choice. Applicants also have lunch with current MSTP students during the interview day. Hotel accommodations are provided for the night before the interview. The evening before the interviews, applicants are invited to an informal dinner with current MSTP students and to a social held after dinner at a current student’s apartment.
The MSTP Steering Committee meets periodically throughout the year to discuss the applicants who have been interviewed. Acceptances are offered on a rolling basis starting in December through mid-May. Nevertheless, some applicants may still be notified of acceptance in early June. Those applicants who are accepted by mid-March are invited to attend one of two revisits. We enroll approximately 15 – 17 new first-year students each year.
