Free Common Application
MUA, along with its sister schools Saba University School of Medicine and St. Matthew’s University, offer the unprecedented opportunity to apply to up to three top Caribbean medical schools at once! By submitting just one set of documents and participating in one interview, you can receive admissions decisions from any or all of the three medical schools. And there is no application fee! Tell us to which of the three medical schools you would like to apply, and in what order. And, it is just as easy (and free) to apply only to MUA, if that is what you prefer.
MUA and its sister schools accept applications throughout the year, with classes beginning in January, May and September. These three top medical schools offer exceedingly high first-time pass rates on the USMLE Step 1 Exam, a first-class curriculum and small class sizes for quality teaching in beautiful settings.
