Early Assurance Program (EAP) with Georgetown SOM
Georgetown’s Early Assurance Program (EAP) is an opportunity for students who have excelled in their course work and wish to attend Georgetown’s School of Medicine (SOM) to receive assurance of admission at the end of their sophomore year.
To be eligible for the EAP, students must be in their fourth semester at Georgetown University and have completed four of the five pre-med course sequences by the end of May (biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, calculus and statistics, and physics). One of the four completed courses must be organic chemistry. Applicants may substitute a semester of biochemistry for a second semester of organic chemistry, and if so, must complete this course by the end of the sophomore year. Applicants who choose not to substitute biochemistry for organic chemistry must still take biochemistry before matriculating to Georgetown University School of Medicine if accepted. Students accepted in the EAP are not required to take the MCAT exam.
Please Note: Transfer students are not eligible for the EAP.
Additional expectations include:
- Must complete undergraduate studies successfully while maintaining a minimum GPA of 3.6 (BCPM and overall)
- Cannot earn a C or below in any class
- Cannot withdraw from a major course
- Cannot take a major course Pass/Fail
- Any changes to the proposal and/or coursework relating to the proposal must be pre-approved by the School of Medicine
- It is recommended that a student continue coursework in upper-level sciences
