BMS Linkage Agreement to WSU-SOM
Linkage agreement between Wayne State University Basic Medical Sciences Masters Program and Wayne State University School of Medicine
The Wayne State University Basic Medical Sciences (BMS) Master's program is designed to provide graduate training for pre-professionals who wish to pursue careers in health-related fields. The interdisciplinary curriculum consists of rigorous coursework in biomedical fields and culminates with a Master's essay. The program offers an opportunity for students to bolster their academic records in preparation for their next career steps. A majority of students in the program are seeking entry into medical school, which is the incentive for reaching the following agreement with the Wayne State University School of Medicine (WSUSOM).
The WSU-SOM Office of Admissions agrees to grant automatic interviews for medical school admission to students enrolled in the BMS program who have met certain benchmark criteria. These requirements include:
- A GPA of 3.7 or higher after completing 20 credits of BMS didactic biology courses
- No grade of less than B in BMS courses
- An MCAT score in the 61st percentile or higherÂ
Students who have completed 20 credits in the BMS program (typically by the end of June) and have met the above criteria will be granted an interview upon submission of the AMCAS application.
* An interview that is granted via this linkage agreement does not guarantee acceptance into medical school.
