How to Apply

The online application for the Scholars Program and Coordinated B.A.-M.D. Program opens around September 1 and closes around December 8.

You can and should apply to more than one program. For example, students applying to the Scholars Program should also apply to the Macaulay Honors College, and any student interested in medicine should apply to both Scholars and Macaulay as well as the Coordinated B.A.-M.D. Program. Each program admits independently, and it is possible to receive multiple offers. The B.A.-M.D. Program is compatible with both Scholars and Macaulay—students can be part of B.A.-M.D. and Scholars, or B.A.-M.D. and Macaulay.

If you have any questions about honors applications, e-mail Lisa Schwebel.
