Each year about 15 students are matriculated into the Dartmouth-Brown program. These students complete their first two years at Dartmouth and their last two years at Brown. They receive their MD from Brown. Application to this program is initiated through the Dartmouth application; students indicate their preference after the Dartmouth interview. The two schools jointly evaluate each candidate. Acceptances are offered to the Dartmouth MD program and to the Dartmouth-Brown program based on the preference of the applicant whenever possible.

Most accepted applicants have MCAT scores above 10.
