1) Format/Grading for Prerequisite Courses and Labs
Online/virtual coursework for all classes, including prerequisites, will be accepted.
Further, we'll be accepting non-letter grades for courses taken during the Spring
and Summer 2020 semesters. A grade of pass (in a “pass/fail” format), “credit” (in
a “credit/no credit” format), or similar passing grade will be acceptable. We will
also accept on-line/virtual labs for science/math prerequisite courses. If a lab for
a prerequisite is no longer being offered by your school due to COVID-19, please let
us know in an email so that we can add this information to your file.
2)Undergraduate Minors, Second Majors, Community Service Projects, Research Projects,
Other Academic Programs/Activities
While we still require successful completion of your undergraduate degree, you may
have had other activities you had hoped to complete prior to matriculating to medical
school. These additional aspects of your academic program—even if listed in your application
materials—are not required for your medical school matriculation if COVID-19 has made
fulfillment of these activities impossible or severely burdensome. Examples include
senior and master’s degree research theses, undergraduate minors or second majors,
study abroad, and community/global service programs.
3) AAMC Choose Your Medical School Tool: “Plan to Enroll” Date
We have extended our “Plan to Enroll” date from April 30 to May 15, 2020. As a reminder,
if you are selecting Toledo as your “Plan to Enroll” option, you should remove yourself
from other schools’ acceptance pools. (You may, however, remain on alternate lists.)
For more information about the tool, please see the AAMC website.
4) Health Forms
You will be able during the first few weeks of the M1 schedule to get our physical,
mask fitting, vaccination, and other health requirements completed. Please stay tuned
for more information.
5) Final Transcripts
Most colleges and universities are reporting no or minimal problems with processing
requests for transcripts. Please plan to have your final undergraduate and (if applicable)
graduate transcripts submitted to us. If you have difficulty submitting this information,
contact us directly and we’ll work with you.
6) Financial Aid and Scholarship Applications
The COVID-19 crisis has resulted in unexpected financial hardships for some accepted
students. Please stay tuned for more information from our Office of Financial Aid,
including information about a live webinar with Ms. Anne Yeager, Assistant Director
of Financial Aid. We are also extending our scholarship application deadline to May
1.
