1. How will I be notified of my acceptance?

You will be notified by email approximately six to eight weeks after a complete application is received. This email communication serves as your official notification of acceptance.

2. What additional documentation is required from me after acceptance?

Instructions regarding additional documentation are included in your acceptance email. Please read and follow these instructions very carefully. This additional documentation is required in order for you to be allowed to begin your elective.

3. Is there a deadline for accepting the elective spot?

After you receive email notification of your acceptance, you must reply within one week to confirm that you will be attending the assigned elective. If we do not receive a response from you, we will assume that you are not interested in the opportunity and will offer your spot to another student.

4. May I request a change to my elective assignment?

No. All assignments are final. Please take time to review the elective descriptions and make your choices carefully.

5. Does Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center provide housing for medical students?

No. Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is unable to provide housing for medical students. Accepted students will be sent information on housing opportunities. It is recommended that you secure housing as soon as possible, as accommodations can be difficult to find.
