Biomedical Informatics for Stanford MSTP (Medical Scientist Training Program) students

For those already in the MSTP program

• You do rotations during M1-2. When you are ready to apply, file a Graduate Authorization Petition (via Axess).
• You should request that the MSTP office send us a copy of your MSTP application.
• You should submit directly to us:
  • A unofficial copy of your Stanford transcript
  • An up-to-date copy of your CV
  • Your personal statement (specifically for BMI)
  • One letter of recommendation from Stanford faculty
  • The BMI supplemental application form
• Note that GREs are not required, and there is no personal interview.

For current medical students applying to the MSTP program

• You apply to MSTP and you also apply to BMI through the standard Biosciences PhD procedure.
• MCATs can be supplied in place of the GREs (but strong performance on GRE could increase chance of acceptance in some cases).
• In-person interviews are typically early March.
• If you are not chosen by MSTP for funding, BMI will consider you in the normal application pool with training grant funding through BMI.
