2025 Entering Class
CU MSTP Admissions Interviews will be conducted virtually in the 2024-25 application cycle. Interviews consist of activities across two days. Applicants will participate in general medical school admissions activities during the morning of their first day. These include a welcome session, small group activity, and 1:1 interviews. The second half of this day will be reserved for MSTP-specific activities to include a program orientation, 1:1 interviews, and a Q and A session with current students. The second interview day consists of informal 1:1 meetings with current MSTP faculty. The applicant may select preferred faculty for the administration to seek to schedule for these sessions. Interest meetings are non-evaluative and intended to help the applicant learn more about research opportunities at the CU Anschutz Campus. These meetings are based on faculty availability.
