• For High School Applicants:
  • Two individual letters of recommendation are required, at least one from a science teacher and must be on letterhead (a science teacher is considered someone who teaches in the department of biology, biomedical sciences, neuroscience, chemistry, biochemistry or physics).
• For College Applicants:
  • Two individual letters of recommendation on approved departmental letterhead are required, at least one letter must be from an engineering professor who is considered someone who teaches discipline specific courses within an engineering field and the other may be a science or general education professor/faculty (an engineering professor is considered someone who teaches discipline specific courses within an engineering field, i.e., biomedical, mechanical, electrical, chemical engineering etc.; a science professor is considered someone who teaches in the department of biology, biomedical sciences, neuroscience, chemistry, biochemistry, or physics, etc.).
• Letters must be on official letterhead and addressed to the EnMed Admissions Committee. All letters must be submitted through the application portal.

Unofficial transcripts are required to make the application complete. All transcripts must be submitted through the application portal.

• High School applicants (Option A) must complete a Supplemental High School Validation Form. This form is generated in the application portal when applicants successfully complete all application requirements and submit the final application in the portal.

The Supplemental High School Validation Form is generated electronically and sent to your High School Counselor. Only validations submitted through the portal will be accepted.

After applications have been evaluated, the selection committee will choose a select number of applicants to forward in the process and conduct interviews. From this pool, the final applicants will be chosen. 

The selection is based on a joint process of the School of Engineering Medicine, the College of Medicine, and the College of Engineering. Students are chosen for their intellectual capacity, motivation for medicine as a career, service orientation, and ethical responsibility to self and others. 

Selections will be announced after all interviews are completed. 

The requirements below are for:

• Option A: Before entry into TAMU (Incoming Freshman Texas A&M Student)
• Option B: After one year of TAMU college coursework (Current Texas A&M – College Station Student)
