Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
The HST Admissions Subcommittee recommends a broad undergraduate educational experience. Typically half of those who matriculate majored in biological sciences and half in physical sciences. All admissions requirements for Harvard Medical School must be completed prior to matriculation in the Division.
In addition, the HST curriculum requires that students be comfortable with upper-level mathematics (through differential equations and linear algebra), biochemistry and molecular biology. This is usually demonstrated through upper level course work, but other approaches may satisfy these requirements. In addition, one year of calculus-based physics in college is required.To apply, complete the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) application online.
