The Goucher Post-Bac Premed Program is open to those who have completed a bachelor's degree at an accredited college or university and have a strong academic record but lack the majority of science courses needed for admission to medical school. We strongly recommend that applicants have experience in mathematics at least through the pre-calculus level, as well as some experience in medical settings through volunteer or other work. Applicants are evaluated based on their previous academic record, standardized test scores (SAT, ACT, or GRE), motivation, experience in medicine, and personal qualities.

Applications are accepted from citizens and permanent residents of the U.S., citizens of Canada, and those with DACA status.

Candidates are accepted on a rolling admissions basis. Beginning in mid-August, applications are processed as they are received for the next class, and we continue to review applications until the class is full, which typically happens in March. Our program then begins in June.

As a member of the Centralized Application Service for post-bac programs (PostbacCAS), we require applicants submit their materials to PostbacCAS, which will process them and send the files electronically to the post-bac programs you designate.

If you have not yet done so, please create an account with Post Baccalaureate Centralized Application Service (PostbacCAS).

If you are a reapplicant to our program, you must resubmit all application materials to PostbacCAS, including official transcripts.  At Goucher, we will accept self-reported SAT/ACT/GRE scores during our initial review of your application. If you are invited to interview, we recommend you order official score reports to be sent to us because we will need those to make a final admissions decision.

Attention, prospective applicants: We are now accepting applications for June 2025 entry.
