Master's / PhD (after graduation)
- Apply via
- AMCAS (MD program); direct application via program-specific portal (PhD) — application page ↗
- Intake
- August
- Deadlines
- MD: AMCAS primary application due October 1, supplemental application due November 1 (for the following fall entry). PhD in Biomedical Sciences: all application materials due December 1. Note: MD program requires a bachelor's degree from an accredited US or Canadian institution (or a NACES-member course-by-course transcript evaluation for other degrees) - this materially limits direct-entry eligibility for Indian Class 12 pass-outs; the PhD programs are more broadly open to international applicants with any accredited undergraduate degree
- Tests
- MD: MCAT required, scores accepted within 5 years of the application cycle. PhD: GRE policy not stated on the general admissions page (not confirmed as required)
- English
- MD program does not list a separate English proficiency test; instead requires one academic year of English intensive writing coursework as a prerequisite
- Funding
- Tuition figure is for the MD program (all 4 years, per official Cost of Attendance sheet); total annual cost of attendance including fees and living expenses ranges $105,203-$111,872 depending on year (2026-27). International MD students may apply for institutional need-based scholarships and institutional loans via FAFSA (school code G07026) and CSS Profile (code 7333). PhD stipend amount and tuition-waiver policy are not published on general admissions pages; contact grads@mssm.edu for details

Studying in United States
The US offers the widest range of degree programmes and research universities in the world, with flexible majors and strong graduate schools. Indian students go for choice of subject, name-brand universities, and post-study work through OPT, though costs and visa steps are the highest of any major destination.
- Visa
- F-1 student visa
- Work while studying
- Pre-completion OPT/on-campus work: up to 20 hours/week while school is in session, full-time when school is not in session (USCIS).
- After graduating
- Optional Practical Training (OPT): up to 12 months post-completion (pre-completion OPT time is deducted from it); STEM-degree graduates working for an E-Verify employer may add a 24-month STEM OPT extension (USCIS).
