We celebrate the differences in applicants' personal stories and paths traveled to medicine, and commit to a comprehensive and holistic admissions approach that gives balanced and equal consideration of non-academic and academic factors, as well as the school-specific personal attributes required to be successful as a self-directed adult learner in the unique curriculum of training empathetic scholars. To this end, it is impossible to list the exact ‘recipe' for admission. However, there are key areas that each applicant should be focused when preparing a competitive application. We believe these areas can be demonstrated throughout the application process in various ways, and encourage applicants to explore these successful medical school applicant stories for examples.

The Admissions Committee requires that in order to be eligible for matriculation, an applicant must have completed at least 90 semester hours (or equivalent quarter hours) in general education at a fully-accredited college or university in the United States or Canada by the time of matriculation. A bachelor's degree is not required.

The Admissions Committee requires a valid Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) score in order to be considered for admission, which is defined as:

• A score(s) from within three years from the date of matriculation.
• Applicants who indicate retaking the exam as posted on the AMCAS will be reviewed once the new score is received, regardless of any prior scored exam.
• If multiple scores are presented, the most recent will be used.
