Response To Your Inquiry

[Bgs]

Thank you for your interest in Biomedical Graduate Studies (BGS) at the 
University of Pennsylvania.  You will find information on all our 
programs at our website, http://www.med.upenn.edu/bgs/


Graduate School Admissions

We encourage applicants to apply using ExpressApp, our online 
application system.  ExpressApp allows you to submit your application 
immediately after you've completed it and to monitor the status of your 
supporting documents (letters of recommendation, transcripts, etc.).  
You'll also save on postage.

If you need a paper application because you do not have reliable internet 
access, please go to the application information section of our website, 
http://www.med.upenn.edu/bgs/admissions/index.html.  Scroll to the 
heading labeled "Printed Materials" and click the link marked "here."  
Type in your contact information and submit the form, and the materials 
you request will be mailed to you.  

You do not need to fill out a separate application for financial aid.  

Application Deadlines:  Applications from non-US citizens for Fall 2004 
are due by December 1, 2003; applications from US citizens are due by 
December 15, 2003.   

Applications are reviewed and admissions decisions are made on a rolling 
basis through March.  


Thank you again for your interest in our programs.
