One Year Masters Program in Cell and Molecular Biology

 IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, PLEASE BE SURE TO READ THROUGH OUR FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS BEFORE CALLING OUR OFFICE. WE ADD NEW ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS WEEKLY.

Applicants must submit applications using Tulane's web-based application site at https://app.applyyourself.com/?id=tulane-g.  All supporting documents should be submitted directly to the Cell and Molecular Biology Department, c/o Marnie Mercado, at the address below. (Note:  You can self-report your MCAT scores in the Statement of Purpose section of the online application.  Use 0's for GRE scores if you have not taken the GRE.)

Applicants are encouraged to apply as early as February 1st of the year in which they seek admission. The deadline to submit applications is May 23rd by 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time.  This includes your GRE, MCAT, DAT or OAT scores as well. There are no exceptions. Please plan to take your exam accordingly, allowing time for us to receive your scores BY the deadline. Once your application is complete, you will receive an email from Marnie Mercado. The applications will be reviewed by the committee as they become complete. Acceptances may be made starting at that point. However, the length of time varies considerably. If we are still missing material(s) from your application by April 25th, Marnie Mercado will email you to let you know what we are missing. This will give you one month to provide us with any outstanding material(s) by the application deadline of May 23rd, 2011.
