Approximately six students are accepted to the Program each year. To be considered for admission, applicants must hold a Bachelor's or graduate degree from a college or university of high standing and should have a strong background in basic and social science including biology, genetics, psychology, and statistics. Experience in a communication or support organization is advised.
Applicants are required to submit scores on the General Record Examinations. (Please use code 2464 for Mount Sinai.)
Completed applications should be received by February 1. Competitive applicants are subsequently invited to interview with our faculty and students. Applicants are informed of the admission committee's decision in the spring, and the program begins in August.
