To be eligible for admission to graduate programs at Stanford, applicants must meet one of the following conditions:

Applicants from institutions outside the U.S. must hold the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree from a college or university of recognized standing.
Applicants are considered for admission to Stanford Medicine without regard to their country of origin.
Applicants with disabilities are eligible to apply.
Eligible applicants include U.S. citizens, permanent U.S. residents holding a valid visa, individuals who have been granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services at the time of application, undocumented students, and international students.
International Students must have studied for at least one academic year at an accredited college or university in the United States, Canada, or the United Kingdom prior to applying for admission.

For applications without any prior reported MCAT scores, MCAT is optional for the 2021 application cycle. The choice to take or re-take the MCAT examination is up to the applicant.
