Premedical Scholars Program
The Northwestern Undergraduate Premedical Scholars Program (NUPSP) is a highly selective early medical school acceptance program for high-achieving Northwestern undergraduate students who have completed two full years of undergraduate study, demonstrating a commitment to a career in medicine, and aspire to admission into Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine.
NUPSP is for students who have committed to the Feinberg School of Medicine as their program of choice and requires a binding decision from both the applicant and the medical school. Students are accepted during their third undergraduate year for matriculation into Feinberg after their fourth undergraduate year. The program is not designed to be a fast-track to medical school. Transfer students may apply if they meet the listed requirements and coursework was conducted at a similarly rigorous program.
Each year, approximately fifteen students are offered early acceptance to Feinberg via this program. The accepted student agrees to enter FSM in July/August of the calendar year after acceptance and, assuming all program provisions are met, Feinberg agrees to commit a seat for the applicant.
NUPSP is committed to MD or MD/PhD applicants only and does not require program participants to take the MCAT Examination.
