When does GMU accept applications and what is the deadline?

Applications for undergraduate programs open in November (e.g., November 7, 2022 for AY 2023–24), with interviews starting in January (e.g., January 9, 2023). Offers are typically issued within 3 weeks post-interview, and applications close around mid‑August (e.g., August 15, 2023), with admissions extending 3 weeks after program commencement.

What are the general eligibility criteria for program entry?

Program-specific criteria apply—minimum grade requirements are 90% for Medicine, 85% for Dentistry and Pharmacy, and 70% for other programs. Completion of core science subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) is mandatory, with equivalent standards applied to international curricula.

Is the English proficiency requirement applicable to all applicants?

Yes—GMU mandates submission of English proficiency scores (EmSAT, TOEFL, IELTS) for all, except native English speakers. Conditional admission may be granted for English exemption only if the applicant lacks the Arabic EmSAT—but not for English.
