Application Process
The Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine application process for transfer and advanced standing students consists of three parts.
Online TUSPM Application
Complete the TUSPM online application for transfer and advanced standing students. Transfer applicants are not required to submit the AACPMAS application.
Application Materials
The following application materials are required for transfer students:
- Official transcripts. Submit official transcripts from all secondary and post-secondary institutions attended.
- Recommendation. A letter of good standing from the dean of your current medical college.
- Test scores. Official MCAT scores. If you participated in the administration of the NBPME, please provide result(s).
TUSPM reserves the right to deny applications for transfer based on a poor undergraduate or professional school academic record.
Interview
Once the Office of Admissions has received all application materials, you will be considered for an interview.
Transfers enrolled in first-year
If you are currently enrolled in the first year of podiatric medical school, you will be invited to interview through a regular admissions committee, as though you were going through the initial admissions process. Decisions in the regular admissions process are typically made within two weeks of your interview.
Transfers enrolled in second-year
If you have progressed further than the first year of podiatric medical school, your materials will be forwarded to the Advanced Standing Committee for review. You will be contacted through the Office of Educational Affairs for an interview.
