Admission Criteria & Eligibility

Undergraduate Majors:

We welcome applicants who have pursued a wide range of undergraduate disciplines. Students who elected to major in the humanities and social sciences are also expected to complete the required science courses. This does not mean that we encourage students to pursue a smattering of knowledge in a great many subjects. Rather, we believe that you gain the richest, most satisfying intellectual experience from the in-depth study of a subject that captures your passion.

Medical College Admission Test (MCAT):

The Medical College Admission Test, required of all applicants, must be taken within three years of the date you plan to enter medical school and, at the latest, by September of the preceding year. Applicants are encouraged to take the new MCAT, but we will accept scores from 2014, 2015, and 2016 for applications submitted by October 15, 2016.

Selection Factors:

Selection is based on an appraisal of those intellectual and personal characteristics that the admissions committee regards as desirable for prospective medical students and physicians. Both cognitive (primarily academic) and non-cognitive factors, such as the applicant's statement and extracurricular activities play an important part in the selection process. Based on the evaluation of these factors, a limited number of applicants (500) are selected for interview.
