How to Successfully Complete Your SGU Medical School Application

Choosing to become a doctor is a big step—and applying to medical school is the first milestone in that journey. For many students, applying can feel stressful due to strict timelines and the pressure to meet high expectations. But if you’re applying to St. George’s University (SGU) School of Medicine, the process is designed to be smooth, student-friendly, and flexible.

SGU has made it easier for future doctors to start their medical journey with less stress and more support. Let’s break down everything you need to know to complete your SGU application with confidence.

What Makes SGU’s Application Process Unique?

SGU takes a holistic approach to admissions. This means they don’t just focus on test scores. Instead, they look at your passion, dedication, and potential to become a great doctor.

A major plus point is SGU’s rolling admissions cycle and three term starts—in January, April, and August. You don’t have to wait an entire year to begin your medical education.

“We review applications and make admissions decisions throughout the year,” explains Laura Bruno, Dean of Student Enrollment at SGU. “Apply early to secure your spot for the next available term.”
