JD/MD Admissions Information
Candidates for the JD/MD dual degree apply separately to Duke Law School and the School of Medicine. Each school will complete its normal application review process, and you will receive a separate decision for each degree.
Because JD/MD students spend their first two years at Duke completing the initial curriculum of the School of Medicine, you may submit your JD application concurrently with your MD application, or during the fall of your first or second year of medical study.
If you are admitted to the Law School, but will not begin your legal studies that year, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can manage our class appropriately.
Standardized Testing
The LSAT is required for all Law School dual degree applicants. The MCAT is required for all School of Medicine applicants.
