A complete application, including all required documentation, must be submitted before the UMHS Admissions Committee will initiate a review. A completed application consists of:

• A completed paper or electronic application
  
• Personal essay 
  
• Application fee of $75.00 U.S.
  
• Letters of recommendation
  
• Official transcripts from each university/college attended
  
• Transcripts must be mailed from the sending school directly to UMHS
  
• Score reports for each of your standardized tests if taken (MCATs, SATs, ACTs, GREs, etc.).
  
• Official TOEFL scores for international students whose principal language is not English
  
• Signature form signed by the applicant

All application documentation, other than the application and essay if completed electronically, must be mailed to:

University of Medicine and Health Sciences, St. Kitts
North American Administrative Office
Office of Admissions
460 West 34th Street
New York, NY 10001

Notes on submitting checklist items:

• Fill out a complete application. Make sure you list all colleges or universities attended. Pay special attention to your personal statement. Along with your completed application, please submit your $75 application fee.
  
• Notify all of your colleges or universities and have them send us your official transcripts. On a temporary basis, we will accept unofficial copies of transcripts for evaluation purposes.
  
• Have letters of recommendation submitted under separate cover. If you have been evaluated by your pre-medical advisor committee, we will accept that report in lieu of separate letters.
  
• We are interested in seeing all of your standardized tests score reports (if taken) including MCATs, SATs, ACTs, GREs or any and all tests that will assist us in evaluating your application. International students will need to submit official evaluations of their colleges conducted by an approved NACES agency such as World Education Services (www.wes.org).
  
• In addition, a transfer student from another medical school will need to submit a letter from their Dean (as well as their transcript).
  
• International students will also need to submit English proficiency examination scores from TOEFL.

UMHS believes in a comprehensive approach when making admissions decisions. There is no single factor or criterion that will determine whether or not the Faculty Admissions Committee will accept an applicant. Academic performance, test taking ability, motivation, maturity and personal responsibility will all be taken into consideration.
