College of Medicine and Life Sciences - MD Programs

1) Format/Grading for Prerequisite Courses and Labs
Online/virtual classes, including prerequisites, will be accepted for coursework completed during the Spring, Summer, and Fall semesters during the 2020 calendar year. Further, we'll accept non-letter grades for courses taken during the above 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 completed during the above semesters.

If invited to submit a secondary application, you will have an opportunity to explain how your academic journey may have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

2) MCAT and GPA
We require an MCAT score to be considered for a secondary application except for applicants who have previously been accepted through one of our Early Assurance pathway programs. While applicants invited to submit a secondary have a wide range of MCAT scores and undergraduate GPAs, typically applicants with an MCAT score below the 48th national percentile or a GPA lower than 2.9 on a 4.0 scale are not likely to be invited to complete a secondary application.

3) Interviews
For the 2021-2022 interview cycle, we will conduct synchronous, virtual Multiple Mini Interviews (MMI). Our on-line MMIs will be from September 2021 through May 2022. If you're invited for an interview, the email we send you will contain additional information including technical requirements and access to the web-based platform.

4) Other Requirements
Other requirements will remain as detailed in the Application Process section of this website.
