Other requirements

General requirements

Students normally apply for admission to the program early in their third (Junior) year. Applicants to this program will be selected on the basis of performance and promise as Emory undergraduates. The Department of Biostatistics will review student applications (and may choose to interview them as part of the process).

Students will learn of their acceptance during either their second (sophomore) or third (junior) year depending upon the track, prior to the time of pre-registration for the course in the Fall Semester.

In order to strategically plan an academic program that will meet all undergraduate requirements and allow time for the required courses during their fourth (senior) year, students may have to work with their undergraduate academic advisor as early as their second (sophomore) year.
