We conduct a mission aligned review of every application we receive.
In our quest to select and train well-rounded individuals with the capacity to develop into skilled and compassionate physicians, we conduct a mission aligned review of each applicant.
Mission Aligned review means we assess your academic performance and MCAT score in the context of many factors, included but not limited to, life experiences and your background, your integrity and your intellectual curiosity, your leadership roles and your community engagement. Selection criteria are aligned with our program’s curriculum, mission, community health needs, and the needs of the physician workforce.
Although most of our applicants have majored in science, we encourage students from a variety of academic fields to apply.
Regardless of your undergraduate major, you must have completed at least half of your prerequisite courses before applying.
We invite approximately 600 candidates to interview during our admissions cycle from August through March.
We will issue our Regular MD decisions at the end of December and rolling thereafter. Applicants will be notified electronically.
If accepted, you must respond within one week from the date of your acceptance and submit a $100 deposit, refundable until May 1.
Under special circumstances, the Associate Dean of Admissions considers requests for deferred admission. You should fully describe your circumstances in a written petition emailed to the Office of Medical Admissions.
