When vacancies occur in the third year classes, students may be admitted with advanced standing. To be considered for admission with advanced standing (transfer,) you must be currently enrolled in good standing at a medical school accredited by the LCME. Your qualifications must be comparable to those of WCMC students, and you must have compelling personal circumstances that favor transfer. Positions are extremely limited. Admission with advanced standing follows the guidelines of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC).

If you wish to apply to WCMC with advanced standing, please contact the Admissions Office in February of the calendar year if you wish to transfer. You will need to submit a formal application, official transcripts of all prior academic work, two letters of recommendation from medical school faculty members, and a letter of good academic standing from the Dean of Academic and/or Student Affairs.
