  • Applicants meeting all the registration criteria will be invited for further qualification and admission tests (Stages 2-4).

Stage 2: Online Tests

Online tests will be held during the week of April 12th, 2026. For further information, please see the section “Qualification and Admission Tests by an External Service Provider” below.

The test is expected to take a few hours and includes four parts:

  • Part 1: Analytical reasoning skills
  • Part 2: Biological assignment assessing scientific thinking
  • Part 3: Personality compatibility questionnaires
  • Part 4: Biographical questionnaire

After the tests, a weighted average score will be calculated for all candidates based on all the parts of the online tests. Those with the highest scores will advance to the next stage.
 

Knowledge Test  (Prerequisite)

The test is conducted concurrently with the selection process and serves as a prerequisite for application eligibility.

  • Purpose: Evaluation of the foundational knowledge in the seven required core courses organized by Tel-Aviv University. Candidates can register for the test using this link.
    Please note that this year, candidates who are unable to take the first round (Moed A) of the knowledge test will be allowed to take the second round (Moed B) and still continue in the application process.
  • Exemptions: Students who have successfully completed the first three years of a six-year medical school program in Israel, or the first two years of a four-year medical school program in Israel, are exempt from the Knowledge Test.
  • Minimum Requirement: A score of 300 or higher on the knowledge test. The test is valid for two years, namely for the years 2025 and 2026.
  • Scoring and Advancement: Invitations to Stage 3 will be determined by a weighted average score of Stage 2 (95%) and the Knowledge test (5%). For students exempt from the Knowledge Test, only Stage 2 will be considered.
     

Letters of Recommendation: As detailed in the application form, letters of recommendation are mandatory for candidates advancing to Stage 3 and must be submitted before the beginning of this stage. A minimum of two letters are required.

Only letters for candidates invited to advance to Stage 3 will be reviewed. 
We recommend identifying and securing recommenders in advance.

  • Analytical Assignment: Following the interview, candidates will complete a test designed to evaluate their ability to analyze data and derive meaningful insights. This test will be conducted while on Weizmann campus, using a computer provided by Weizmann, will last up to 90 minutes, and requires basic Excel skills. Specific details about the test and preparation guidelines will be shared with all candidates invited to this stage.
  • Results and Next Steps: weighted results from Stage 4 and invitations to Stage 5 (Assessment Center) are expected to be sent within two weeks after all applicants have completed Stage 4.

  • Research Skills Interview: Each candidate will also have a 30-minute interview with two principal investigators from Weizmann as part of the assessment day.

The final admission score combines the evaluations from the assessment day with the scores from the previous stages.
Success rate for being accepted into The Miriam and Aaron Gutwirth Medical School are estimated at approximately one-third of the candidates.
